The shows help all the organizations as they are fund raisers and are really a place for you all to get a bargain.
There are door prizes and raffles and deals.
We all have volunteers who would love to see a great turnout for their efforts.
We will have 6 or more months worth of great speakers in 1 location.
As President of MSBA I must say please come to the MSBA EXPO. Stonehill is a great venue, it is easy to get to from the South Shore. RI, western MA and Boston. $10 admission, free parking, great vendors , great speakers.
Our vendors are tops and focused on fishing, as Patrick says "no knifes and jerky (but I do love jerky), just stuff for fisherman" and there will be great deals. We really believe in supporting our local tackle shops, vendors, and plug builders.
You will not find better speakers.
You will see old friends and meet new friends. Stop by and see Johnny Cherico at the MSBA history display, meet Charlie Cinto who is usually hanging with John, arguably our most famous member and a great resource to speak to.
Maybe we can post at the raffle table on a white board who on Striped-bass.com is "in the house" so you know who is there.
Come to our show, hear our speakers, support our vendors and support us. We really try to be the eyes and ears and support for the recreational angler in MA. This is a political time with threats to access, but 1st of all WE ARE A FISHING CLUB.
I look at our EXPO in March as the "START OF THE SEASON" as the days are getting longer and it is time to start getting our gear ready.
By the way our 700th MSBA Meeting Celebration is now 2/25 (go to MSBA.net for details).
GO to all the shows, support the clubs and vendors, you will learn and you will be a better fisherman, which is really what it is all about.
Thanks,
Bill
