ernel Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 The club that I belong to has been awarded The National Conservation award for 2004. We were also awarded the National Chapter of the year award for B.A.S.S. Out of the thousands of clubs in the United States it is a great hnor to have been selected to recieve this award. We are also being giving 6 awards for the southeastern division for 2004 as well. Conservation and Chapter of the year here as well. Some of the functions that we particpated in to help in gaining this award were the normal funtions of the casting kids competions and Jr. Bassmaster tourneys. The kids are the future of our sport. We also have several charity functions that we donate our time and proceeds from special tourneys to. One of which is a home for children with family problems. We play the roll of Santa to these less fortunate kids who don't live with their parents for what ever reason. We constructed a new dock for there recreational pond at no expense to them. We also took park in a fish habitat improvment project on several lakes. By working with the local DNR, we began placing new habitat for the fish to call home we are hopefully helping to bring great fishing for future generations. During the 2004 tourney season we collected and bagged over 1100lbs of trash from the docks and ramps where we held our tourneys. After the offical fish weigh- in, we pick up trash and weigh-in again with the trash we have collected on site.
