March 2019 Meeting in Review
At March's meeting the club library was taken out of commission. CAFE members in attendance were able to keep a book of their choosing and given the opportunity to purchase addition books. The remaining books have been sold to a specialty book dealer who makes them available at fish related events. All proceeds from the sales have been added to the club funds.
