By the time you see this message it will be well into August. Most of the kids will be back in school or at least getting close to their first day. Once again summertime is coming to a close. I don’t know about you but they seem to be going by a lot faster than they used to.
I trust everyone had a chance to visit their favorite fishing spot once or twice this season and hopefully a few of you have even experienced that trip of a lifetime. The annual picnic will be a great place to catch up on everyone’s summer activities. So be sure to mark Monday September 21 on your calendars. The whole family is invited.
Jim Jorgensen and Mark Borserine have graciously volunteered to once again labor over a hot smoker to provide us some of the best BBQ ribs and brisket you will ever find in the Kansas City area. In addition the club will provide bread/buns, utensils and beverages.
Please bring a covered dish, salad or desert to help round out the meal.
There is plenty of room around Shelter # 4 to cast a line so if this is the summer you mastered the double haul don’t forget to bring a rod. In case you forget the club will be sure to have a few of our club rods on hand for your demonstrations.
Directions: Exit from I 435 onto 87th Street. Go west on 87th Street to Renner (the first street west of I 435).
Turn right (north) on Renner and go ½ mile to the entrance to Shawnee Mission Park on your left.
Enter the park and stay to the right. Go around the north side of the lake and look for Shelter #4 on your left. We plan to have the HOAFF banner out front. I look forward to seeing everyone!
