Please let me know if I have missed your club with a dues payment or if I need to make a correction to your club’s payment.

A number of clubs have still not paid their 2023 JCAA club membership dues. I have sent out reminder notices to these clubs for payment of their dues and I hope to hear from them shortly.

During July and August, the JCAA does not hold club membership meetings. If you are still interested in having a JCAA presentation to your club during these months, please contact me at my address below.

Our JCAA presentation can be customized to fit into your club meeting schedule either by in-person or by ZOOM. We have done it in 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 power point presentation, I need to know the date when your club is 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 power point 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 June 27th, and it will be done as an in-person and ZOOM starting at 7:30 p.m. Again, this will be our last club meeting until September 26th. Until then, have a great summer and catch a lot of fish!

I can be contacted at tothjohn@verizon.net or at (732) 656-0139 if you have any questions.
