After far too long without, I’d like to welcome you back to the new and improved KHMC Newsletter. Many thanks to Ed Tschernoscha of BAJA FISH GEAR for taking on the task of the club Newsletter. With regular support and feedback from our membership, it is our goal to continue to improve the content and quality of the Newsletter and website.

It seems that the warmth of Spring is drawing some action on the water; please see our member’s fish reports included in this edition for more detailed information.

Our annual Awards Banquet was well attended once again, and it was great to meet some of our new members.

The Cabo Shootout was also a whopping success. Thanks to all of the participants and to our Tournament Director Don Butts for making the trip south. Our Events Calendar is included in this Newsletter and also displayed on the website. Please be sure to reserve your crew early and participate in our club tournaments and seminars.

One of our goals this past winter was to fill the many vacancies on the club’s Board of Directors. I am pleased to announce that with the support of our membership, we were able to fill all but one vacancy. With that, on behalf of the KHMC, I want to thank each of our past Board Members for the years of time and service you have provided to our club. Our recent past Board Members are as follows:

Gary Massamino: Gary served for many years as our Treasurer and got the club back on track, and is our immediate past Vice President.

Roberta Stotesbury: Roberta served as our club Secretary for many many years and has always provided tremendous support for club activities.

Paul Friedman: As our Social Chair, Paul made sure the facilities were in place to conduct our meetings, seminars and Tournament/Award dinners.

Marylin Stephens: Among many other posts throughout the years, Marylin was most recently our Membership Chair and continues to maintain her role with the Yearbook.

Max Pierce: Max was in charge of publishing the Newsletter for several years, always taking great pride in providing quality content.

Thanks to each of you for your support and dedication through the years!

Moving forward, I want to recognize the new volunteer Board Members, and also thank them for their commitment to the club.
