Congratulations to Thomas Jarecki of Hendersonville, Tennessee! Thomas is the winner of our 2008 Mega Boat Raffle and the proud owner of a $35,000 Tracker boat. Thomas is a long time supporter and lifetime member of the Hall. We couldn’t be happier for Tom. Thank you to all of our members who supported this vital fundraising effort. A very special thank you goes to Tracker Marine for their wonderful support over the last 7 years. Our new website is now up and running and we are really quite proud of it. We invite all of you to go to it and, please, let us know what your impression is! Your opinion is greatly valued at the Hall. Our website address remains the same www.freshwaterfishing. org. We have also recently launched our new membership program. We now have 4 levels of regular membership, with a lot of great new additional benefits. Please go to our website and click on “Become a Member” (left navigation), this will open a page detailing the new membership program. If you have recently renewed your membership, and would like to upgrade to another level, just send us the additional amount. We will be very happy to upgrade you. The current regular membership (without upgrades) is the Silver level. Some of the additional benefits are: A day of fishing with Al Lindner; an annual subscription to In-Fisherman magazine and an annual membership to the North American Fishing Club. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Our museum is now closed until April 15, 2009. Despite the “doom and gloom” reports from the media, we enjoyed another tremendous year of attendance. We were particularly thrilled to see and talk to many of our old friends. We are already preparing for next spring. Thank you again for all of your support. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Best regards, Emmett A. Brown, Jr.
