First meeting of the New Year 2011 is a biggie!

TOSA goes on meeting hiatus in December. Our monthly open gatherings continue on the third Thursday of January 2011. Details:

7:00 pm, Thursday, 20 January 2011
Gander Mountain, 2644 Taylor Rd, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068, [phone]
The US Sportsmen's Alliance
with Dan Smith, Relations Director
US Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation

Here's a relevant excerpt by TOSA Trustee Brenda Layman from our fine December newsletter:

US Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation Relations Director to speak at January meeting
TOSA will kick off 2011 by hosting Dan Smith, the newly appointed Relations Director for the US Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation. Smith will be presenting information and taking questions about his organization. He is particularly interested in expanding communication opportunities with the outdoors community and in strengthening ties with anglers. The meeting will be held at Gander Mountain in Reynoldsburg, at 7 pm on Thursday, January 20. The community is invited to join TOSA for this event, and we encourage all outdoorsmen and women to attend. For more information about Smith, read TOSA board member, Brenda Layman’s article at www.suite101.com/content/us-sportsmens-alliancefoundation-names-relationsdirector-a300688.

This is an important topic, and I believe it would be valuable to build collaboration with the alliance. I sincerely hope you lot can make it out to chat with Dan.

Only a little over one week away. I hope you lot are planning to be there!

Bad news! At the very last minute, the USSA has had to cancel their scheduled talk. I will still be there to make the announcement to any attendees in person and chat on fishing with whoever may care to. Once more, there will be no presentation by the US Sportsmen's Alliance at tomorrow's TOSA meeting! I'd be lying to say I wasn't disappointed, so I won't. I am very definitely disappointed.
