The key to winning raffle prizes is to show up late

"I'd rather be lucky than good"...I think Pat Rilley said that after a Laker Championship...Good job Jorge!!!

What a great success!
Thanks to the all the BWE members that attended...We signed up over 30 new CCA CAL members and we had over 80 people at the meeting.
The Tacos were delicious...the beer was cold...and the "Raffle"/Drawing was Fun!
John, Wayne, and Pat talked about the CCA and our current projects, and in between speakers we gave away lots of cool prizes.
Lots of winners and happy folks at the end of the night.
Thanks for all your support!!!

If the winners of the Brandon Hayward gifts read this, please contact me so I can get your address so we can send the journal out to you.

Way to represent guys!

Jim, thank you again for all you do.

Any chance of one of these meetings being held in an inland location in the future?

Without getting into to much detail I was very pleased with CCA's agenda

However, we need more kayakers to join these meetings.

It was a good meeting. From my experience, CCA is a solid organization that really pushes to improving fisheries and habitat. Looking forward to the future of the artificial reef projects. They are really great once they get going. Cool meeting some of you at the meeting. Tight lines to all

Sorry... I couldn't step away from that conversation to take a photo...The CCA State board meeting is next week and Cathy (Chairperson for the Artificial Reef Committee) was asking me to make a presentation on our last artificial reef meeting that the committee had. We have some great long range goals as well as the short term stuff, like the ships currently being prepped to sink in San Diego.
I hope this organization grows and can accomplish some of the wonderful work like that being done in the other CCA states.

Thanks to the kayakers that came out to represent...

Some of them seemed to have a better time than others...

The main takeaway that I have from the meeting was that the initiatives are taken at the state level and directed by the chapters in that state. A Texas chapter has no right to direct the activities of a California chapter. The efforts are defined by those that take part.

I really liked the artificial reef initiative and I started thinking of ways to get more people involved - scout groups, schools, etc. One ship that was turned into a reef was made into a breast cancer monument by painting it pink and having survivors sign it. What a great way to tap into the energy and momentum of another movement that has passionate supporters.

We need more kayakers at these. Sorry I did not introduce myself to others in attendance that I had not met before - Mahigeer & Geauxfish. Next time.
