Both President Mark Taylor and I have been visiting JCAA member clubs to present a PowerPoint presentation on what the JCAA is all about since COVID-19 has curtailed in-person meetings. At this point in time, we have made in-person presentations to 10 JCAA clubs. We have also made presentations by Zoom to 2 clubs due to weather and scheduling issues.
JCAA clubs have different meeting schedules. Some clubs do not have club meetings every month and others do not even meet during the winter months and start during early spring. While some clubs want an in-person presentation, others would prefer Zoom presentations due to their schedules.
Our JCAA presentation can be customized to fit into your club meeting schedule either by in-person or by Zoom. We have done it about 20 minutes or about 45 minutes. We cover a lot of ground starting with the beginning of the JCAA, what the JCCA has accomplished, what it is working on today and the fishing challenges all of us anglers face in the future. We also take questions and provide answers to them to the best of our ability.
To schedule this JCAA PowerPoint presentation, I need to know the date when your club has its meeting, the time of it, the address of the meeting location and the contact person to arrange your meeting with me. I have been contacting clubs to schedule this PowerPoint presentation and I would appreciate your getting back to me at your earliest convenience so that I can arrange our meeting with you.
Also, I would like to have updated emails of your club representatives so that we can send you the agendas of our general membership meeting and also contact you on important issues that may quickly come up about our fisheries.
Our next JCAA General Membership meeting is on November 29th and it will be done both as an in-person meeting and also by Zoom at the Shark Anglers building in Herbertsville where we used to have in-person meetings until COVID came along. Depending on the number of JCAA club members who come to Herbertsville, refreshments will be available. If you plan to attend this meeting, please let me know so that we can order the right amount of refreshments.
I can be contacted at tothjohn@verizon.net or at (732) 656-0139 if you have any questions.
