Membership Meeting – September 17th

The meeting will be held at the Bay Street Outfitters, 825 Bay Street, Beaufort, SC between 6 PM and 8 PM.  The agenda includes a social hour with refreshments and food, followed by our speakers.  Don’t forget, there will be a free casting workshop prior to the meeting.  Arrive at BSO at 5:00 PM to attend!

This month we are fortunate to have the Port Royal Sound Foundation’s Jody Hayward and Courtney Kimmel as our speakers.

Jody Hayward is the Executive Director of PRSF and, over the last twelve years, she has grown the Foundation into the bustling organization it is today. Jody has been in the Lowcountry for a little over 20 years.

Courtney Kimmel is the Director of Conservation with PRSF. For the last two years, she has been working on developing a comprehensive monitoring and research program to support and advance the Foundation’s mission of conserving the Port Royal Sound for the environmental, cultural, and economic well-being of the area.  She has a background in the human dimensions of natural resource management, and has worked in conservation and sustainable development-focused nonprofits for about twenty years up and down the East Coast. She moved to Beaufort about three years ago.

Come learn why the Port Royal Sound area is so special and how you can help protect this natural resource that we all hold close to our hearts.

Plan on attending! Membership meetings are a great place to learn about your fishery and to mix with your fellow club members. Guests are welcome!
