Guests/New members: Guest: Tyler Parsons, (Willie Parsons son), Welcome Tyler

Treasurers Report: Tracy was unable to attend the meeting so there was no report.

Old business: We reviewed the minutes of the previous meeting and decided we would vote on upcoming club tournaments and separate directors for them . Read and approved

Tournament Director Report: American Lake Club Tournament. 1st Place Rob Flowers, 2^nd Place Willie Parsons and 3^rd Place was Ron Storment. Big Fish was Shannon Lewis at 4.98 lbs, large mouth. Congratulations to all.

New Business: A vote was taken to cancel the July Club event and it was accepted, too many people will be out of town or on vacation.. Ralph Lewis will be the tournament director for the Priest Rapids Club Tournament August 16^th and the 17^th. Dan Huffman will be the Director for Whatcom Lake Event, September 20 and 21. I would urge all members that are interested in these events to contact the directors and let them know in plenty of time. Dan related that the “Wildwood” campground at Whatcom will have spaces for us if we contact them at 360-595-3211, and talk to John and tell him you are Evergreen members.

We discussed sending the various newsletters by E-mail, Larry will phone those without E-mail regarding the next 2 months events, approved.

Jeff Abbott reported that he has a new Triton with a 225 Optimax, yellow color scheme.

Jeff also said that in September at Pot Holes they have a conservation effort, fish off and fish fry for anyone that is interested.

Mark Jones reported that he bought Jon Sesslers “beat up” old Ranger and that it is now dirtier than it has been since it came out of the factory. Partly with the assistance of Al Lewis who impregnated the carpet with lure scent!

Al Lewis reported that he bought Mark Jones “little boat that could” and now has a pond boat for sale. He also gave a report on access to Fort Lewis for 24 hour passes if anyone would like to use the dock on the base and fish the lake at night.

Big Fish: Big Fish was won by Brandon Van Brocklin with a 5.4 Largemouth

Fish Report: Shannon reported that her large fish at American Lake was caught on her second cast but her luck didn’t hold for the rest of the day, still a good fish and congratulations go out to her.

Break: 8:22 Lots of smack was talked about members that were not present, I am sure their ears were burning!

Raffle: We brought in $ 20.00 and Zach Semago won the first prize for the second time in a row.

Member were reminded that if they have any lures that for whatever reason do not seem to produce for them to donate them to the raffle and maybe they will work for someone else. Willie and Larry agreed that a few of theirs are down right un cooperative.

Adjourned: 9:02 pm
