Under consideration is:
OCTOBER -- Lake Monroe, Volusia County Park.
NOVEMBER -- November should be left open for those that can make Talquin and possibly throw a fruitjar around here non points associated fer fun like last year
DECEMBER -- Astor, December 14th. (sounds great)
JANUARY -- Crescent Lake, Crescent City would this be a slabtogether and fish til 3 or so? (Awesome, cant go wrong)
FEBRUARY -- Lake Griffin, Lake County ( tough one vs stay home and sleep)
MARCH -- Maybe a Harney run in March. (Great idea / recommend a run from north to south vs trying to figure out the south end of the lake from 46 / Mullet Park? )
APRIL -- CLASSIC at Lake Monroe, Volusia County Park.
For the Lake Griffin State Park, there is a fee for the rental of a pavilion and an entrance fee of $ ____ per each vehicle.

Discussion was also about the POINTS RACE. Idea expressed -- Have Six ( 6) scheduled events and only using Five (5) for the total. Each entrant will have the capability to discard one event, weather due to a no show or poor performance. ( With the current possible 2013 schedule...how about 6 events and 2 throw outs?)
Would we want to award Trophies at each event with/without cookouts or just record official weights for the points race? ( Create a "Winners" permanent thread/Plaque on our boards, with tips from the winners on what worked for them. / Cookouts are great but require a ton of effort from the usual folks,.... I admit I am not one of them for assorted reasons while working full time for the man. Still feels badly seeing the same few always cutting their day short. I would be willing to support/donate $ to bring food in to limit thier unspoken grief.)

Discussion on additional activities, which may not enter into the POINTS RACE, have a "fruit jar" event, Will the fruit jar events be totally independent of our regular monthly events or the entrants catch be able to compete in the points race?? These events could be scheduled without much notice (Another great suggestion)
Would need someone to step up to co-ordinate these events. where each entrant is required to pay an entry fee and the total of the entry fees would be paid out to the top three of the event.
Will need someone to be responsible for heading up this activity.

Would trophies be awarded??? If so, need to acquire fund to purchase trophies separately. ( how much is the average cost per event? maybe someone is willing to sponsor event trophies? can we discuss costs on the boards? members only?)
For those who wish not to participate in the financial and awards part, they would be welcome to join in the fishing and be able to "unofficially" weigh-in their catch. (Still would love to give them an award............maybe they will keep on coming back and help the family grow)
