Just a quick note, we had an impromptu organizational meeting at the fly tying expo in Holt, MI the first week of this month, and I thought I would post a bit about things we are thinking of for this year's fish-in.

We plan to hold the memorial and dedication of the bench fairly early in the week, with a reception that evening (think meet & greet-lots of great food and conversation) and then will hold our "dinner" and casting contests later in the week, probably on Friday, July 3rd.

We have not locked down anything yet on the dinner, so I can't entice you with that yet. We will hold our next meeting at the Flyfishing Expo at Warren in March.

We hope many of you will be coming for the dedication of the bench, and wish to remind you to get your reservations in soon, because Grayling is ALWAYS busy the last week of June, so the rooms and campgrounds will fill up quick.
