Charley Currey, editor of "The View From The Hill", has found it necessary to make some changes in the newsletter in order to cut down on costs of publishing. Unfortunately, "The Line" column is one of the things that must go. As I already had the column prepared for this month, I am going to publish it here. Thanks to all who took a few moments to read the column over the past months.

THE LINE

We had our first meeting of September with breakfast at the Agate Beach Golf Course. There was great conversation, some committee reports and, most importantly since we are a fishing club, some reports on where the elusive salmon could be caught. Frank and Brian gave a rundown on their fishing trip to Canada, and Wayde reported on his San Diego trip. Wayde Dudley will be the guest speaker at the meeting on September 20^th, talking about gun safety.

We had a work party on September 11^th at Hebo to help the Forest Service put together the new baffles that will replace the old ones we removed from the Schooner Creek Fish Trap last month. There will be another work party on September 28^th and we will need as many volunteers as possible at this one to “put the trap back together”. Hopefully, the fish will notice the difference and be happy . . .

MEMBER OF THE MONTH: As long as we’re talking about the Schooner Creek Fish Trap, I think it would be a great time to thank all the volunteers who have given so much in checking the trap this past year as well as those who have given their time and effort at the work parties. We should be proud of the effort put forth and the service we have provided. Good job, everybody!!!

A quick hello to The Hook, John Spangler. He is back up and running (well, almost) and we’re all glad he’s doing so well.

Be sure and come to our meetings – you don’t have to be a member to attend. Check our website or take a look at The Wall in the Clubhouse.
