Membership growth

This may be a crazy idea, BUT here it is: Have the club sponsor a retired
individual with OLD tackle and have him/her compete in some of the
national tournaments, this could stir up a lot of interest and free publicity
it wouldn`t matter where they finished competitively the interest generated
could be well worth the cost. Might suggest donations among members to
sponsor the contestant. NOT me ! Someone like Phil White, that age group.

Pilier ohio, along with some gun and sports shows! also some Craft shows, You Ladies like crafts and the men are looking for somthing to do! So get a table set you some reels for display, get the show to include it in their ads! People, its our own fault if we dont get (aggresive) and do these things! This is your CLUB, and we need new members, set a goal to sign up 5 new members this year! You can be certian when YOUNG GUY saw the new reel I have PUT up for the prize that the person that signs up the most new members this year will recive! People, that reel is top of the line spinning reel, NO COST TO ORCA! I or members of my faimly will not be eligable to win it!

Terrific idea Jack. I support this suggestion fully. I'm designing my shirt now - full of ORCA patches.

Can Bert go also?

Fishing tournaments

Post by Jack Bright »

Glad Phil--You and other competent fishers have Idaho, Utah and Wyoming,
2 or 3 locals to cover tourneys in Tex., Ark., and LA. and so on. Those that
can afford time off during the week. Just imagine: a pic. of `Joe` with his
Meek, old casting rod and old lure and neat caption describing such might
just stimulate a whole new tackle craze. . . hmmm.
