Alert!

Attention KRPGA members:

At the upcoming Kenai Peninsula Borough Meeting on Thursday February 17, 2004, Item "I" on the agenda under "Presentations with prior notice" lists:

1. John McCombs and Doug Blossom, Cook Inlet Fishermen's Fund- Presentation seeking funds from the Borough to initiate a lawsuit to repeal regulations that have impacted the Cook Inlet commercial fishing industry.

We ask that all KRPGA members try to attend and voice their obvious disdain for such a request, and if you are not able to attend the meeting in person, we ask that you contact the members of the Borough Assembly prior to the meeting to convey your disapproval of this agenda item and presentation.

Please visit the following link to send Borough Assembly members an email regarding this issue:

Congratulations to KRPGA professional and associate members for their newly acquired seats on the Kenai Soldotna Fish and Game Advisory Committee. Professional members Joe Hardy and Mel Erickson were elected as sportfish guide representatives and associate member Jim Kuhnsman was elected to an at large seat. Special thanks to all that attended the meeting and helped support our members. The positive turnout made a big difference. Best of luck to these new AC board members.

Joe Conners will have the Boat Wake Study duplicated and copies will be available at the UPS store in Soldotna.  Members may pick up a copy at that location.
