Minutes of September 10, 2010 Federation meeting.
The meeting was called to order at 8:10 p.m. by President Tony Going. Vice President Mike Hart and Executive Officer Forest Honeywell were not in attendance.
The following chapters were in attendance: Bass Assassin 6; Blazin Bass; Big D; Essex County; Jersey Bassmasters; Over the Ridge; Quickfire; and Raritan Valley. Bass Busters, Castaway, NJ Bass Hunters, South Jersey Hawg Hunters, and United were excused. All other clubs were not in attendance.
Since there was not a quorum of clubs in attendance, President Going deemed the meeting legal.
The Minutes from the August 13, 2010 Federation meeting were read by Recording Secretary Nick Angiulo. Tony indicated a correction. The Federation will be receiving five HDS5 units instead of the four reported in the minutes. The minutes were accepted with the correction via motion/second.
President Going read the Treasury Report in lieu of a replacement Treasurer. The Treasury Report was accepted via motion/second.
The Tournament Report was given by Al Purdy. Al recapped the Greenwood Lake winners. He indicated the fishing was generally difficult but the event ran smoothly. He also recapped the current top six standings. He stated that the Federation would not be returning to Greenwood in 2011. The next event will be at the Susquehanna Flats with the last event at the Delaware River. That event will be out of the West Deptford ramp. Al indicated that members who know anyone who would like to fish as a Co-Angler should encourage them to fish the last two events.
Al stated that the 2011 tournament schedule will be finalized soon, but only one event is currently firm. It will be on May 22 at Candlewood Lake. Al indicated that the 2011 Team Tournament will likely be on May 5 and 6. The location is still to be determined.
Tony indicated that the 2011 USO event will be held on the Hudson River on September 11, 2011.
Environmental Director P.J. Bartolotto indicated that there was information on the website regarding a potential ban on lead and lead weights. He encouraged anglers to keep abreast of this legislation and to be vocal and/or involved.
Secretary Bruce Stovall reminded the members about the 2010 Reel to Reel. The ads and any club articles/photos are due at the October meeting. Please get him the ads, photos and articles as soon as possible. The sponsor letter is on the website.
Bruce also explained the TBF/FLW registration procedure. He indicated that it will work just like last year. At the December meeting, club rosters are due with the appropriate amounts for each member and the Federation will then send the dues in for all of the clubs. Bruce emphasized that he is more than willing to help any club in getting their club rosters completed properly.
Nominations were solicited for President and Treasurer. Joe Belardo was nominated for Treasurer and the nomination was seconded. No other Treasurer nominations were offered. Joe gave the members in attendance a recap of his extensive financial experience involving various veterans and fishing clubs throughout the years. Tony Going was nominated for President and the nomination was seconded. No other nominees for President were offered.
A drawing for a Quantum PT rod was held. The winner was Mike Keller. The drawing collected $49.
A motion was made and seconded to adjourn the meeting at 8:55 p.m.
