I would like to start off with wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hard to believe that 2008 is gone! It’s been a busy year for our chapter and 2009 looks even busier. We start the year off with a full complement of officers and directors.  Matt Marusiak is our new vice president and Dave Henniger and Eric Wilson are new directors. We also made some changes to our meetings with the hope more people will come out and get involved.

Wow where did the summer go? Seems like just yesterday we were fishing the Green Drakes. Too bad this summer turned out like last years with no rain.  Now that September is upon us hopefully we will get some rain and the cool weather we’ve had will lead to some great fall trout fishing.  Just because the chapter didn’t hold a regular meeting doesn’t mean were not busy, here is a quick wrap up.

Happy New Year

I know it’s been some time since we last sent a newsletter out, but it’s hard to find someone with the time to do this every quarter. At least you have seen what’s going on through the State Council newsletter. Bill Mendat is no longer going to be doing the newsletter and Matt Marusiak will be taking over along with his duties with the website.

Welcome

The 2006 Banquet will be the 40th in Allegheny Mountain’s history. To mark the occasion we are planning special prizes and guests. Mark your calendar now for April 1 at the Holiday Inn. Allegheny Mountain was the second Trout Unlimited Chapter in the state and we hope to be around for forty more years. In order to assure our survival we need to attract more youngsters to the group and are hopeful our Sandy Lick Creek Project can be one of the activities that accomplishes this.
