Hi Tidal Fishers,
We are having our 1st Annual "SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW" meeting on Wednesday, May 11th @ 6:30pm at The Fairfax Old Town Hall.
We are looking to tap into the great knowledge of our Chapter members and guests - we already have several people agree to "Show what they Know" at the May 11th Meeting.
We need more folks to come in and share their knowledge.
The format is for anyone attending to bring in gear, charts, or anything that they would like to share with others in the group - You will be allowed to present in front of the group for as long as you need - and then settle back at a table to network with the other members - It is kind of like a SCIENCE FAIR for sport fishing - We have a few people already signed up - but our goal is to get everyone attending to bring in something that they can share with the group.
Agenda -
Wednesday April 13th - Northern VA-CCA "SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW" -
