We are enjoying a brief respite from committee meetings since we didn’t meet in January. We begin work anew at the end of the month and our first monthly meeting is on February 5, 2020. More details to follow. Hope to see you there.
Today's meeting featured a great presentation by Dave Blodgett of Lake Gaston Outfitters about the variety of free Meet Up opportunities available in the Lake Gaston area.

I selected the first snake as an attention getter. The Eastern Diamond Back Rattlesnake. Not normally found in this region but is in the Southeastern counties of N.C. This 9.5 foot monster with 2.5 inch fangs was shot by the young man when it entered their hunting blind. Prevalent in the coastal areas of Georgia [St Simmons and Jeckel Islands]
June 1st is the date for this year’s Lake Clean-up Day. In fact, we would like to make June Lake Clean-up Month with our kickoff on June 1st. This year we will have two manned stations on June 1st with dumpsters from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. They will be at Washburn’s as before and this year the other station will be at AF Wake at the south end of Eaton Ferry Bridge. We hope that we can count on you to help with this very worthwhile project.
