Hello Raymond!

The guys could do a better job with filling you in, but I will tell you that after the business portion of the meeting was completed I got to visit with everyone and we all bounced ideas off each other for future products we have coming out. We officially released information today that we will be handling thread. Yeah! Carrying thread is a natural progression for us, as it is a perfect complement to our pigments and epoxy.

I also brought in Jeremys lure. Well, no that isnt exactly trueI forgot it and my sweet husband went back home to get it. Everyone wanted to see it. It was a BIG HIT. Way to go Jeremy. 

Terry Jones wasted NO time and starting whipping up pigments right on the spot. I like the philosophy of Terry Jones and Fishing Tackle Unlimited. It was really obvious during the meeting and then watching Terry afterwards, giving individual help to the nonstop endless flow of customers that followed, that concern for the rod builder is alive and well at FTU.

Lots of talk about the Rods For Soldiers. I had no idea about the amount of time, energy, resources and their own money that go into this program. I have to say I am a little ashamed that I have not responded to this wonderful cause sooner. My hat goes off to everyone involved and there is now no doubt in my mind it is well organized, and headed up by genuine and caring men who understand that the back bone of this country is the men and women returning home from doing a job that many in this country cannot or would not do. We owe them gratitude beyond anything any of us could repay. I know Pat has worked tirelessly to receive 501(c)(3) status. My thanks to Pat over and over for a job well done and to all those involved in this honorable cause.

As a side note to the Rods For Soldiers programI feel that anytime something is done for the troops we are extending a hand to ALL who have served to defend this country. I feel politics should never get in the way of our welcoming those who return from any war being fought with our young men and women. I know we owe a deep gratitude to each and every man and woman who have ever served to defend this country, wartime or peace. If any of you are one of those, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I really enjoyed meeting some of you for the first time and visiting with those I already knew.  I am really looking forward to the next meeting and the classes in between.

well Raymond , somebody said you did better in the dark, heheh

the meeting started at 2 but we had stragglers coming in as late as 3:00, Terry J is still talking about Elections and officers, personally i think he has done a good job as has the rest .

as written above Silvia and hubby (sorry guy, never got your name) were there , seemed genuinely interested in what we needed or recommended, cant beat that, plus they had brought some samples to to show us.

out side of that it was a normal meeting.

Thanks for putting up with Silvia, I know she could be a handful but remember she is trying to help us rodbuilders out. Thanks for making the trip back home to get the snake lure and some inserts. The inserts are a great idea. I am expecting some great things from you guys. Keep up the good work and remember I am available for product testing or anything else that might help you out.
Pat
