The MSBA Needs Your Help!
Submitted by Jim Dow, Vice President

We are looking for active club members to step up and help out with a couple of open committee positions.
Join one committee or join five, this is your club and you're encouraged to participate and share your talents
with the club.

work, a civilization work". ~Vince Lombardi
Open Committee Positions
MSBA 60th Anniversary Committee
In calendar year 2010, the MSBA will celebrate it's 60th year as a club.
We want to honor the MSBA, the men and women that made this great club what it is and all that it
represents to generations of anglers. Help us to come up with ideas on how to perfectly mark this club
milestone and historical event.
Sportfishing EXPO
The MSBA Annual Sportfishing EXPO is our biggest fundraiser of the year and by far the most exposure
that this great club gets. In this uncertain economy, many things will need to fall into place in order to make
a show next year possible, profitable and a success. Most of the things cannot be determined or even
predicted, the one area that we can definitely make a difference in, is group participation. We are looking
for members to step up and join this committee. At times, being a member of the committee can have
some pressure, deadlines, telephone calls and personal contact with vendors, but in the end, when you
walk around the show, watching the faces of the patrons and vendors alike, you know that it was all worth
while. Early in the planning stages, we generally meet once per month, as the time draws closer to the
actual show date, meetings get increased to once a week. Although perfect attendance is not absolutely
required, contact within the group is, just to pass on updates. As long as everyone is on the same page, we
can do anything as a team and as a committee and we can continue this long, rich history of putting on the
best possible saltwater fishing shows. There's no limit, as many members that want to help are welcome.
Membership
After several years of dedicated service, Wayne's schedule no longer permits him to continue his duties as
the Membership Chair. We are looking for someone with good record-keeping and organizational skills, a
knowledge in Excel would be a bonus as I believe all the membership records are stored that way.
I'm sure that Wayne would spend as much time as necessary and answer as many questions as he can
about the position to anyone that is interested in filling it.
Merchandise
Similar to Wayne's situation, Cathy just does not have enough hours in her day to do everything that is
asked of her. Cathy's position as Merchandise Chair is a very important and detailed job that will need to
be filled. Aside from selling MSBA logo merchandise at every meeting and show, she special orders
clothing for members, suggests new items and keeps an inventory of the stock on hand.
