BEMIDJI/CASS LAKE MUSKIE INC. CHAPTER 46 NEWSLETTER December 2015 In This Issue From the President Boat Dec 10 Christmas Dinner Upcoming meeting dates Contact Us From the Presidents Winterized Boat Ready or not, the sun has set on another fantastic muskie season. I hope you all had a great year and were able to hit some of your season goals! With the muskie fishing season closed, so begins the off season of Muskies Inc meetings, speaker engagements, lure auctions and get togethers. Please watch for the updated calendar in future newsletters and plan to attend some of the great events we will be setting up over the winter months. First off is our very important officer election meeting coming up Dec 10th. (more info included in this newsletter) We are going to combine the election night with a chapter Holiday Party! I hope to see you there! I have thoroughly enjoyed representing our chapter as President elect for 2015, but I will be passing the torch along for the new year. Our chapter has had a great year! The Annual Tournament was a blast, the summer outings were a great success, and our speaker meetings had great participation last winter. Lets continue this trend for 2016! Please invite your fishing friends and neighbors to one of our fun events! Until next time, Ethan Rogers

If you don t know how Dirty Santa works: You pick a gift from the pile and open it. If next person does not like the one he opened, but likes someone else's, they can come steal it. A gift can only be stole three times. Bring one you don t mind parting with and hopefully you will replace it with one you like better.
