Dear Members:

Let me start by wishing you all a happy spring.  Hopefully, we can start to string together a number of warm days.

I enjoy this time of year to get outside and work on the yard.  I really enjoy this time of the year in my cabin where Mother's Day triggers the start of trout fishing season.  Whoever planned it that way must not have thought very highly of his or her mother.  I hope every one of you enjoyed your Mother's Day, and I hope the fishing goes well.

Aside from fishing, you all know how much we enjoy our German-American Summerfest (the Schwaben Fest).  This year the fest is planned for August 20th and 21st.  I always like to take every opportunity i have to encourage our members to participate and volunteer their time to make this another successful Fest.  Once again, entertainment will be provided by "Die Fidelen Kirchheimer", old friends directly from Germany.

Hope you have a wonderful spring and start of a great fishing season.

Sincerely,

George Boehm
President
