EBA + TBF

[SethV]

Hey guys- 

Tom has mentioned that there is some interest in the EBA affiliating with the TBF.  Even though we are non-competitive, the TBF still has a lot to offer us.  I think the biggest thing is allowing all of the anglers in the state to be heard as one voice in regard to legislation and conservation issues.

Who is willing to join the TBF?  We need 6 guys in order to affiliate.  I am in, so we need 5 more.  Jack, did I hear that you wanted to join?  Tom?

If we can get this done within the next 2 weeks, it will increase the amount of money that FLW gives to the TBF, so it would be great if we can get it done.  If not this soon, I still want to do it.  Jack, if you have already started the process I don't want to "step on your toes", just let me know if I can help.

Thanks,
Seth

I'm in for sure.  I just need to get my FLW membership taken care of, then I can join TBF.  Jack is already putting a roster together of guys who he knows are joining TBF.  Where we at with that Jack?

I think so far its:
Tom O.
Seth V.
Jack C.
Mike S.
Steve L.?

I thought there were perhaps two more.  Guys, let's post our intentions here so Jack can know what's up with the roster.  Then post here when you get your FLW membership updated and are ready to pay the dues for TBF. 

Again, this is just for the guys in the club who want to join TBF.  It has no bearing on the club and you don't have to go TBF to be in the club.

Thanks Tom.

My FLW membership is current.  FLW # 99119920

Jack, Let me know where to send my TBF $$.

Thanks,
Seth

I'm hoping to get my FLW taken care of next week sometime depending on $$.  IBbroke.  Truck repairs...grrr.

HEres what I have for the roster:

Jack
Tom
Seth
Steve
O
Mike Schoemann
Maybe's:   Mark, Shane

I also have two friends not interested in fishing the EBC, but looking for a TBF club to hang their hat

Ronnie Connors
Paul Grove


what I need from everyone is $30 and:

FLW #, Name, address, phone #, e-mail, and t-shirt size as well as boater or non-boater for the state championship.  We need to send equal numbers of each to the tourney - July 8,2007 LSC - Metro beach.

You don't have to wait until you get your FLW membership to join TBF. Just note the FLW membership is applied for and we'll ask again later, or you can let us know when your FLW membership is final.

Speaking officially, we'd LOVE to have you!

[Revtro]

Great, that'll make it easier.  Jack, how do you want me to get the $ to you?  Or do you want to take care of it and get reimbursed at the meeting?  Up 2 U.  I can mail it to you if you wish or you can tell me where to send it.  Let me know and I'll get the $ wherever they need to go right away.

Dan, once we get our roster set, I assume this board will move to the TBF club section? 

[yukonjack2]

LEts plan on collecting it at the Feb meeting - I hope everyone is ok with that?

Jack

[BassPlr]

You can count me in.  I have to get my FLW account soon.

[djkimmel]

Yes - I would move you to the TBF section.

[thomas]

Do I need to join the FLW also in order to join TBF? If so, I need to know how much. No matter what, I'm in.

Thomas:

yes you need to Join FLw - I beleive its $25 for the membership and the magazine. 

Then the TBF is another $30 to Join, which I can get from you at the March meeting, or mail to me - info was sent by e-mail.

Jack

[Langer]

Is it too late to join the TBF with the Group?

[yukonjack2]

nope - would love to have you - send me a pm with your name, address, flw #, phone #, t-shirt size, and if you are planning to fish the state champ, and if yes as a boater or non- boater.  I will respond with where to send me a check for $30 made out to the TBF of MI.

We'd love to have you.

Jack

[djkimmel]
