February Minutes
John Cummins is still in Florida, so Lowell Borgen got our meeting started with a welcome and a prayer. He led our devotions also this night. The Biggest Fish Story in the Bible was his message for us. This of course is the story of Jonah and the Whale. He read the account of this event from the Bible, that is also a great story of catch and release. He ended his devotions with a powerful prayer called “A Prayer For the Times of Recession.”
Gary Elllis introduced our speaker, Rich Lingren. A champion tournament Bass fisherman. He shared a lot of his tricks and tips that he uses to be a champion. His 7 1/2 foot rods are rigged up with 40 to lb braided line. He uses nothing but tungsten sinkers (lo lead). Rich talked about the jigs and lures he uses and when and why he uses them. After answering all our questions and thanking him for speaking at our meeting we moved on to other business and announcements.
Chris Armstong gave a talk on the Fish Fair that is coming up Feb 28th from 9am to 4pm at New Hope Church.
Dave Lindmark reminded us of the Gem Silent and live Auction April 18th.
Dave Maas said our newsletter will be on the Fishers of Men Blog as long as he is doing it.
We shared some prayer needs, then Vaughn blackburn closed this meeting in prayer.

Membership Meeting Jan. 2009
Happy New Year Everyone!
Vice President Lowell Borgen welcomed us, saying that John is in Florida and will miss a couple of meetings. Also Vaughn Blackburn wants some time off. So Gary Ellis lead our devotions.
Gary’s message was about the New Year and what the future holds. This can cause us to worry about jobs, money, our homes etc. Which in turn can stress and drag people down physically and spiritually. Because what we don’t know, scares us. Gary read a short humorous story about worry from a Guide Post book of devotions. Gary closed his devotion with prayer and introduced our speaker Greg Fisher, who is owner of Vadoes Bait located at 7895 Hwy 65. He brought some of the latest electronic flashers and showed us how each one operates, and all the newest features and capabilities. He also shared about the newest bait that they carry for the ice fisherman, and passed around these for us to check out. There were Rod holders and Spring Bobbers and new ways to use them. He shared his knowledge of different kinds of minnows, crawlers and the other bait they have. Questions were answered, and we thanked him for coming.
We closed the meeting in prayer
