Salties Annual Banquet & Important Updates

ANNUAL BANQUET RAFFLES/AUCTIONS Thanks to all those who have donated items for the Annual Banquet! Bob Lebel has donated two fishing trips on his boat, one in May and one in June. Paul Richards donated two containers of hand-tied flies. Johanna Pavick gave us a fish pendant that she crafted out of pure silver. Ken Whiting donated a conventional rod and reel and a table saw (pictured below). The table saw, complete with manual, is available at an asking price of $200 and can be bought right here, right now. Joe O'Clair donated a display of bottom rigs, made from squid skirts that are almost impossible to find now. The Joe Branzetti family donated several items. Bruce MacLeod donated a very nice plug bag with assorted lures. Lesley Callahan and Elaine Young have put together a money tree filled with scratch tickets. We will have a surprise live auction item from Randall Sherman. And, of course, Bill and Maryalice Cottle donated a great assortment of items for both men and women. We are still looking for gift certificates to restaurants or tackle shops, trips on your boat or on shore, or any other items you want to donate for the raffle buckets, silent auctions, or live auction. Patty and I will be gone from 3/28-4/5, so if you have a donation, we would appreciate your letting us know as soon as possible. VP Randall Sherman and I thank all the members of the club who were involved in the 2022 Yarmouth herring cleanup. Because of the wind this past year, the water was filled with trees, and our crew did a great job cleaning that out. Next Thursday, March 24, will be the final tune-up of the river. We will meet at 9:00 at the gate where we count the herring before they go into Long Pond. We will do a final sweep down to Swan Pond. Attached is the Annual Banquet signup form. Hope many more of you sign up soon!! Hope to see you at our first in-person meeting this coming Wednesday, March 23, at 6:30 at the Yarmouth Senior Center! Thanks, Jack
