Message from the President:

The "Top Six Fund" now stands at $115.00. The raffle and sale of crankbaits at the December meeting netted $84.00 thanks to all who participated. I'm sure the Top Six appriciate your support. Paul "Sully" Sullivan won the battery charger in the raffle and promptly donated it back to the Fund. Hats off to Sully. Remember the Tournament of Champions is not far off and the current Top Six is our home team and the defending champions in that event so let's give them all the support we can. Who knows, any one of the rest of us wannabees's may be in the next Top Six Team. To all Hawg Hunter members "Well Done"
See you at the January meeting, until then.
