Date:  Tuesday evening, October 27, 2009.

Time:  The meeting was opened at 7PM by our clubs president Mitchell Jones.

President's Report: Mitchell Jones opened the meeting by passing out a printed agenda.  Mitchell announced that ELECTIONS of officers must take place before the end of the year in preparation for BASS and for the year 2010. 

Officers wishing to hold their position as of this meeting were as follows.  Mitchell Jones will run for re-election as president, Ryan Friscia wishes to run for re-election as tournament director, and Dustin Robinson wishes to continue and run for re-election as treasurer.  We have no word as yet regarding nominations for the position of vice president and the position of Club Secretary is open as our current officer will not be seeking re-election.  All nominations must be in place at our October meeting so that elections can be held. We hope to finalize these positions in our November meeting.

Secretary’s Report:  Matthew Mitchell was not present at the meeting.

Treasurer’s Report:  Club Treasurer, Dustin Robinson reported on the banking transactions along with the club deposits.  He stated that after our deposit, our treasury had a total of $646.70 in the bank.  The Treasurers report was accepted and passed as read.

Tournament Director’s Report:  Tournament Director, Ryan Friscia discussed the 2010 tournament year by announcing that the fishing schedule be reduced to 3 bass boat tournaments for the proposed dates of May 22nd, June 12th and June 29th, 2010.  The 3 New York State Junior BASS Federation tournaments for 2010 will be held on July 31, August 1 and August 28th.  The final 2 tournaments for 2010 will once again be tournaments that will be scored for the 2011 tournament and are tentatively scheduled for Saturday September 18th and October 9, 2010.  The above schedule at this time is still tentative and can only be used as a guide.  The report was accepted and passed as read.

Youth Director’s Report:  Jeff Edgarton discussed possible fund raising ideas including a raffle for the paddle signed by the Elite Bassmasters, a tackle box raffle to be held at Bass Pro Shop in Auburn, selling cookie dough and candy bars, spaghetti dinner, a separate 50/50 raffle, the bottle and can drive and maybe a chili cook-off.

Mr. Edgarton also stated that Mike Miller has volunteered as a boater for our junior club.

Mr. Edgarton also wants the club members, over the next few meetings, to discuss and come up with a conservation project for 2010.

Mr. Edgarton also wanted the membership to come up with the body of water they wanted to compete on for the 2010 Club Team Championship and also whether or not we wanted to begin a fund specifically for the Divisional's.

NOTE:  The meeting schedule for 2010 is as follows. 

We will hold full meetings in January, February, March and April at the Fire Station.  We will hold short briefings or updates either before or after tournaments during the months of May, June, July and August.  We will resume full meetings at the Fire Station in September and November to close out 2010.

Club Advisor, Vern Robinson confirmed the proposed date of Sunday, January 24, 2010 as the date of our annual club banquet at the Fire Station.  Time is again, 6PM.  Mr. Robinson will check into the availability of a committee or parents to help with the details of the banquet.

As a reminder, the club will not have a club meeting in the month of December, because once again, it's too close to Christmas. 

Mitchell also mentioned that the agendas for each meeting will be emailed to members prior to the meetings so that they can come to the meetings prepared to discuss the issues.

A motion to adjourn the meeting was made and seconded.

Meeting adjourned:  8PM.
