The regular monthly meeting was held on March 9, 2011, at Perkins Family Restaurant in Olean, NY.

NEW DATE FOR APRIL MEETING!!

We’ll be holding our April meeting at 10:00 AM on Saturday, April 16 at the Clarion Hotel in Batavia. One of our sponsors, Ken Golub, will host the event, taking care of the room rental as well as pizza and refreshments after the meeting. This meeting will replace the regularly scheduled April 13th meeting.

Ken will speak briefly about boat insurance his All State company offers. After that, the Coast Guard will have a representative speak on their offer to hold a boat vessel inspection for free, not ticketing those boats that would not be in compliance.
In addition, after we eat, we’ll be holding a swap meet in which members can bring any rods and reels they’d like to sell or trade. Members are encouraged to bring a friend who may benefit from the speakers and who may want to buy an item during the sale. Non-club members can not sell trade items, just purchase them.

We’re looking for a good turnout and members must contact Dominic DiGirolamo at digiroplad@gmail.com so we can better plan how many refreshments to order.
