Slate of officers for 2005.
Here is the new slate of officers for next season based on elections held in October.

               Vice Pres:   Joe Cinquegrano
               Treasurer:   Pat Rossoni
               Secretary:   Steve Daszkieiwcz

TOP 8 for 2004:
There was a lot of movement during the final few tournaments and every lost fish was very costly in points.  The final 8 for the year are:

                               Haverly                  82.64
                               Goncalves              72.20

                               Cinquegrano          50.46

Ted won the lunker award for 2004 with 5.0 pounds

Congrats to all the Top 8 finishers with particular note to Mark for an outstanding season.  This was one of the most successful years for the club ever. Nice to have new members contribute as well.


NEBRI Makes Showing in Team Championships on Wattuppa:
NEBRI sent 4 teams to the State Team Championship in October.  Although we did not take the victory this year finishing 4th, we DID manage to take most of the money.  Congrats to the teams of Mark/Mike T for Largemouth Lunker cash prize and Frank/Frank for Smallmouth Lunker cash prize.  The club also won several raffle prizes.

The other 2 team to contribute included Darren/Steve D and Dan/Steve L.
Thanks to all who participated.

DUES FOR 2005:
Per Bylaws, 50% of dues are payable in Nov. The reason for this is that the club must cut a check to BASS and the State Fed in December and we need to know who to include on the 2005 roster. WE CAN ONLY INCLUDE THOSE THAT HAVE PAID AT LEAST $40. Therefore, if you want your name included in the initial 2005 club roster send a check to Pat ASAP.  Otherwise your name will be submitted in March 2005 and it could risk eligibility for the Trail, SQT, etc.
