Rajah News - August '21

ANGLERS
With much enthusiasm we have looked forward to a season of fun
and fellowship through our fishing trips. While that is still possible, a
dark cloud has dampened our excitement. We have lost a very active
angler with the passing of Nick Smith, who over the years has provided
us with many laughs and hysterical situations. Seems like every year
he was a strong contender for our prestigious “Ryan Award,” given to
the person who provided us with the most humorous or most “unique”
situation. We will miss you, Nick!!
In addition, two of our officers have been missing from our activities.
Richard Snell Our president Mike Artim has been dealing with several issues that
have kept him from carrying out some new ideas he hoped to introduce.
Hopefully, those issues can be resolved and he can actively participate again. Also, our secretary
John Pavilik has medical issues of his own that are just
about ended and he’s looking forward to coming back
to participate in fishing trips. Keep all three of them in

Lehigh, Feb. 2014
We have had one fishing trip so far to Glendale
Lake where cold temperatures kept us from the kind of catch we hoped for. We did,
however, entertain our potentate Kraig Leiby and past potentate Mike Zerbe with a fun
time. Rumor has it that the number of leaded jigs that our Illustrious potentate lost has
caused a lead shortage throughout the country.
Hopefully, we can get back to some degree of normalcy starting with our July meeting.
With the circus being held in October, we have plenty to do and above all we will need a
great deal of help to pull off our commitment to Rajah Shrine.
In a little more than a week we will venture to Sodus Bay for our second trip of the
year. Hopefully I’ll have a good report with plenty of fish.
COME ONE! COME ALL!
