ANNUAL CREEKSIDE BANQUET
January 23, 2010 - Holiday Inn in Martinsburg
January 23, 2010 - Holiday Inn in Martinsburg
Only about 4 weeks away from the Creekside annual banquet. We encourage everyone to register as early for the banquet as possible. Plan to join us on the 23th of January at the Holiday Inn in Martinsburg. A reservation form can be downloaded below. You may also contact anyone on the Executive Committee: Bob Morris, Ray Gano, Randy Underwood or Bill Zinner.
Our featured tyer this year is Doug Alexander. There will be a cash bar available from 5PM until near the end of the evening. We will offer a few premium gifts through a silent auction and will also auction another in the series of beautiful fly plates that have become a tradition at these gatherings. And, as usual, we will have a number of items in bucket raffles. There will be some other fun activities as well - as soon as we can figure them out!
Mostly, we will offer a chance to renew friendships and enjoy an evening out, describing (bragging about) the fish you caught and the places you visited and sharing with others who enjoy the sport of fishing.
So, it's simple enough, we want to see you at the banquet. In the meantime, keep warm, drive carefully, watch out for deer on the road, feed the birds, talk to your children and grandchildren, let people know you love them and have a safe New Year's celebration.
Bob, Ray, Randy and Bill

FOUR UNDER EIGHT
Don't forget our new program, titled Four Under Eight,
which is sponsored by the Antietam Fly Anglers
(AFA).
The rules of the program are as followers: Four Brook Trout under Eight inches in length must be caught and released in one day by a AFA member, at an altitude over six hundred feet, in two different counties of the State of Maryland. This act must be witnessed by another AFA member. The information of all the facts must be presented to the AFA Board of Directors for confirmation and approval.
Certificates designed by Bob Stouffer will be presented at the next Annual Banquet
