At our monthly breakfast meeting at the Agate Beach Golf Course on February 5, 2009, Phil Reed explained his very generous gift: some lucky LVH Fishing Club member was going to be the recipient of a fishing trip with Phil!!!

Needless to say, everyone was very excited and anxious to get to the drawing.
But, of course, first things first. It would have to wait until after breakfast.

Mary, our favorite waitress, did the honors of drawing the lucky ticket.

Newcomer, Matt Matheney, holds up the lucky ticket! He was very excited and can't wait to get on the water with Phil. He didn't even flinch when he heard the 5:00 a.m. departure time . . .

Congrats to our new Beach Mistress, Ellie LeMaster. Thanks for your help, Ellie.

Doc Smith had a good buy on his boat and I saw several people interested and taking notes.

Again, thanks to Phil Reed for his generous and very appreciated contribution to the LVH Fishing Club.
