The January meeting was very interesting and informative!  Thank You Abby Ertel of Huron Pines and Dr. Chris Goddard of the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission for informing us of some very important conservation issues.

President Mouradian with a quick "State of Ann Arbor TU" update

 

Abby Ertel brought everyone up to speed regarding Huron Pines and all of the work in process and projects planned for the rivers in Northeast Michigan

Dr. Chris Goddard from the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission with a graphic representation of relative caloric values of two food types in Lake Huron.  (I'll take the Big Mac)  On a serious note, he provided a very informative history and forecast of the health of Lake Huron, the fish population and some news related to lamprey control in the Great Lakes.

Yes, that is George's second Coronna and yes that is Richard's bald spot.  A fairly well mannered crowd enjoyed the social hour before the meeting and we all appreciated both guest speakers joining us!

You can learn more about both organizations at their respective web sites -

A swell photo of a future member!  Len Lofstrom took his Grand daughter to Merkle Farley Trout Club after winning a trip donated by Dan Zywocki at last year's banquet.  I think this photo speaks for itself!  Thanks for sharing Len & thanks for donating Dan.
