General Membership Meeting next Tuesday

JBC - we had a good first board meeting of 2013 last night.  Reminder - our first general membership meeting is NEXT tuesday night (January 15th).  Dinner at 6 pm and the meeting will start at 7 pm.  DUES are due so please remember to bring your check or cash for this.  The team captains will be picking teams and we need to have an accurate number of members for this.  Also - as you will see below, our first tournament is scheduled for Feb 16th, which is before our February general membership meeting so if you do not pay next tuesday night - you will have to track down George Thrash to fish in the February tournament.  

Also - at this meeting next tuesday we will have the Mississippi Federation Chapter President, Teb Jones, speaking to us as we explore the idea of rejoining the Federation as a club.  We are still in the early stages of this process and Teb will be able to answer any questions we may have.  Another item - it was brought up last night from one of our board members to revisit the age requirement to join the JBC of 21.  With all of the other circuits around town (Duncan, Safe Harbor, BASS, BFL, etc) being 18 years old the board voted unanimously to bring reducing the joining age to 18 to the general membership for a vote.  Therefore, next tuesday, we will be voting as a club on lowering the joining age requirement from 21 to 18.

As you can see from above - we have a busy meeting planned next week with a lot of important items to discuss.  You will not want to miss this meeting.

The tournament schedule approved by the board is now permanently added to the right side of this page.  Check it out.  First tournament is +/- 38 days from today.
