Next Meeting: Tuesday, July 24th Picnic at McDonald Park, Carnation
Attendance Drawing: Pot is up again. Thor Larson’s name was drawn, but he was not there. So another $10 gets added, bringing the pot up to $40. Due to the picnic, the next attendance drawing will be at our August meeting.
July Picnic: Ernie Anderson has reserved the “Red Barn” at Carnation’s McDonald Park for Tuesday, July 24th. This will be on our regular meeting night. We have the barn from 3pm until dusk. Show up early and chew the fat. The barbecue should be ready by about 6:30 or 7:00. Doc Craig will again bring one of his super sauces for barbecuing fish. Be sure to save some fish to share (thawed, please) and get extra credit toward the Summer-Run Steelhead contest.
For dinner, bring a cold dish (last names A-H) or a hot dish (I-Z), with serving utensils, to share. Also bring your own plates and eating utensils. The Club will provide the cooked corn on the cob, soda and water, butter, salt and pepper, barbecue materials, and a small supply of “emergency” eating utensils for those who just could not remember themselves. The only other thing you need to bring for dinner is a healthy appetite.
Other fun activities include the “Lure Jar.” Bring a handful of lures to add to the jar. The closest guesser wins the contents. The Winter Steelhead contest plaque will be presented and a rod will be awarded to the lucky name drawn from all the contest participants.
Dessert Auction – Since this is a major revenue generator for the Club, you will want to bring the most interesting tastiest after dinner delight. The dessert auction has always been a fun and exciting conclusion to the annual picnic.
July Outing: No formal outing was planned for this month.
June Meeting: Tom Pollack of Auburn Marine gave us a good schoolin’ on "Mooching for salmon in Puget Sound".
Tokul Creek Fish Clipping: Talk to Milt Keizer at the picnic on all the little guys he helped mark so when they come back they’ll be keepers.
