President’s Report:
Webster Lake asked for money for their youth day event on June 7th. We voted and gave them $300 from the youth fund. We also are going to give them tackle bags that were prepared and left over from last years Youth Day at Buffumville. Dave was reimbursed for purchasing the grill to be used at all of our tournaments. Tony mentioned he is holding a fishing day for disabled children and we gave him $100 from the youth fund to purchase live bait and whatever else he needed. Paul asked for $100 each for raffle items to be purchased from Bobs Place and Bay State Lures respectively

Youth events-if clubs decide to do youth events please let us know and we help fund it.

Tournament Report:
Webster was a huge success. There were a lot of faces there we have not seen in a while. Thanks to all who came and to the folks that worked the event and especially our cook. The food is provided by Neba but we will have a donations bin at the remaining tournaments.

Paul has arranged for some special parking for the Shirley event. The parking area is in a field across the street. There will be parking attendants there to help you park. The spaces near the ramp will be used by the workers. The ramp fee will be $7.00. We will be beaching our boats for the weigh in and to have some food and then once you are finished you can pull your boats out. Thanks to Paul for looking into this. Please remember to pre register for this event if you plan on coming.

We are currently looking into overflow parking for Quaboag and Manchaug

The cut off for payment for your TOC entry will be the Manchaug tournament on August 17th. There will be forms provided at the July Quaboag tournament as well on the web page.

New Business:
We started discussions about our state banquet. The directors were asked to bring it back to the clubs if they would prefer to have the banquet on a week night or weekend night.
