THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!

Now that we are through with our annual Sport Fishing Expo, I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to all of the vendors that took part in the show, all of those people that came out to visit the show and to all of the club members that came out to help set it up.
A special thank you and a great bit of gratitude must go out to the members of the Expo Committee. As a part of this committee for the past several years, I know how hard everyone worked to make this show happen. This years committee was a smaller crew and had to work harder than in past years but did so without thinking twice about it. I am extremely proud to have been a part of this years committee and I think that every member of the club should thank them for pulling off one of the best shows this club has ever put on.
Two people that deserve special recognition for making this happen are the two people that will probably say it was a team effort and everyone made it happen. But as the President of this club and a member of this committee, I know that none of this would have been possible without the tireless work of Patrick Paquette and Pam Kearney. The two of them put in countless hours and went through more stress and headaches than any two people in history to pull this off! So, on behalf of everyone, thank you Patrick and Pam. Your hard work and dedication to this event and this club is greatly appreciated. It's members stepping up like you did that make this such a great club.
I hope that more members see the value that participating in committees can provide each of us and the club as a whole.
I hope to see a lot of club members at our April 27th membership meeting, there should be a full report ready to submit to the club on the overall results of the show. I will say that from a personal standpoint and through discussions with almost all of the vendors and several patrons, the venue was an ideal facility for this event. Everyone had a great time and the stream of people flowing through the aisles was steady all weekend long.
Again, thanks to everyone that was involved in the Expo in any form, for any length of time and in whatever capacity you helped.
See you all soon. Jim Dow MSBA President
