Congratulations to Fish Derby Winners

This last Fish Derby held on Nov. 2 saw 22 fisherman vying for top honors. In the small slot
of 3lb. 8 ounces Brandon and Daryl Ershman split the pot each with a 3lb. 7 oz. fish each. Each won $55.00. Blake Stevens won the large slot target of 9lb. 8 oz. with a 6 lb. 1 oz. fish winning $110.00. Great turnout! 35 people also showed up for Bob’s awesome breakfast. The next Derbies are Nov. 30 and Dec. 28. Hope to see even a bigger turnout at these events.

Board Meeting Minutes

Jimmy Mayoral introduced Al and Ann Taglieri as prospective new members. They are on the wait list at #12. Tyson Meitner is coming is as a Legacy members as he is between 18 and 19
years old.

At both the board meeting and the general meeting Bob reported that the deck is still moving
very slightly every month. Phil and Bob are looking into Civil Engineers who might come out
to give us an idea on what can be done to help the situation.

The county has sprayed the hyacinths again. As is always the case, we can use help with the claw to help remove the hyacinths. A good way to get your work day hours in.

Because the next board meeting falls on Thanksgiving, the meeting will be held on Tues.
Nov. 26 at 6:30.

Work Days

Nov. 30 is the last day to get your hours in for your workdays. Remember, you need 8 hours to satisfy the commitment of two workdays. Each 4 hours you do not work will be a $200. fine. As of last night, approximately 45 members have no work day hours recorded. If you need help fulfilling your work hours contact Bob or Mike for ideas.

General Meeting

There was a lengthy discussion about whether or not the commodore can run for consecutive
terms. History has been that the commodore holds office for only one term in succession. The discussion was tabled for the time being.

Joe Anderson was nominated for honorary member by Ed Coffelt.

Willie Woddard lost $30. In the poker chip draw.

Dinners

   Thanks to Andy Twiss and his group for a fantastic N.Y. Steak dinner, it was a huge success

Reminder – if you are interested in buying leftover meat you MUST sign up with Rosie and
she will distribute the meat at the end of the evening. No one should be getting their own out
of the kitchen. Only members are allowed to put their name on the list.

The next dinner is Nov. 16 and Bob Lord will be serving smoked pork loin with fish starters.
Remember, reservations are needed. Text me at 707-592-4395 or email to dixonboatclub@gmail.com

Dec. 21 will be the Christmas dinner. The club will provide the turkeys and hams with the
members supplying the sides and deserts.

Raffle

Thanks to Stephanie and Joaquin Ornelas for the fantastic char broil grill they donated for the raffle at the last dinner. People are really missing out at the meetings or the dinners by not
participating in the raffles. Ed does a great job in getting really good prizes.
