Heron Lake RV

Cedar Bluffs Lodge

Saturn

D&I Doors

Tech Services

Those individuals responsible for collecting the money from these businesses are urged to do so ASAP.

2nd. Quarter BOD Highlights. Pres. Lind reported that CBF is auctioning off a new Triton boat to Federation members only. The total value of the boat package is approximately $35000. The reserve bid of $22000 has been met and the cutoff date for bids is 15 April 2006. Interested members can access the CBF website from the CBC website. The formation of 6 man teams for the State Team Qualifying Tournament (STQT) came up for discussion. Each club in the CBF is allowed 1-6 man team for each 12 members in the respective club. A committee is to be formed to determine the format for the CBF. The clubs Tournament Directors are to make up this committee. Pres. Lind opened the floor for discussion and suggestions on this topic. Much discussion followed. Many suggestions were made as to how to form the 6 man teams, how many teams to have, what types of tournaments to have and where to hold the tournaments. There was a suggestion made to inform those members interested in the STQT just what is involved in fishing a lengthy tournament, possibly out of state. Time off from one's job, distances traveled and most of all the expenses incured were all highlighted. A motion was finally made to hold a 4 day tournament on a weekend, 2 days pre-fish and 2 days tournament fishing, preferably in state. The motion was seconded and passed on a hand count vote 17-2. 5 lakes were suggested with Pueble Res. being selected. It was suggested that since CBC already has a weekend tournament scheduled for Pueblo Res. on 9-10 Sept. 2006, that tournament would suffice for the STQT format. Further discussion was terminated by Pres. Lind.
