Announcements

The KRPGA elections were held on November 9.  Steve McClure was once again elected as President and Mike Fenton Vice-President of the KRPGA.  Dave Goggia is the new member at large.  In addition, the two new by-laws were approved (see the President's message).  On December 13, Joe Hanes stepped down and Jerry Strieby was elected to take his place.  Other seats on the board remain unchanged.

As a new member benefit, the KRPGA will now be hosting web sites at a member discount of $75 per year.  This is a great opportunity for members to save money and support the organization at the same time.  If you are interested in hosting your web site with the KRPGA, submit your payment to Ray Debardelaben, 262-7415, KRPGA, P.O. Box 3674, Soldotna, Alaska 99669

Contact the KRPGA webmaster for additional details and to have your domain set up as soon as your payment has been processed.

Due to the efforts of several KRPGA members efforts, there is now a brand new first-class stainless fish cleaning table at the Kasilof river put in COURTESY OF ADF&G (not state parks!) and that anyone coming in contact with Barry Stratton should personally thank him, as it was him personally that 'made this happen!'

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.
