Dear Michigan TBF Founding Membership:


It is with great pleasure that I heard of your initial meeting and your ongoing efforts to further organize the TBF State Chapter for Michigan.? You all truly have the opportunity to be the pioneers in your area and the work that you are doing today is what continues to provide the horsepower to the Federation.?

As I am sure you are aware, many great things lie ahead for us!? ?We all agree that we have a lot of work ahead of us and that tremendous things will continue to develop with this partnership.? ?All of the positive energy from you and your leadership is extremely encouraging.? FLW Outdoors and our sponsors are fully committed to TBF and bring vast resources to the mix.? It is clear that together we are well positioned to continue to serve and advance our great sport!? Please continue to check in with flwoutdoors.com and bassfederation.com.? Both sites will have new Federation content posting up.

Your direction, input, and implementation will be the keys to our combined success.? Effective communication cannot be emphasized enough!? Overall, I want to communicate to you that FLW Outdoors is very excited and committed to this partnership and that we in fact operate under a true partnership with the TBF.? Your new Federation is independent and vibrant!? Together, we will accomplish many great things and continue to enjoy our great sport.?

As a previous member of the Michigan Federation, I have a lot of personal pride in what you are accomplishing and I thank you very much for allowing me the opportunity to continue to work with you all.? Please believe me when I say the time that members of your group spent with me growing up and getting me excited about bass fishing built a foundation for me.? That foundation has lead me to this point in my career where I can be involved and try to give back.? For that I thank you and can attest to the benefit of investing time in helping out the next generation.

In conclusion, the main point I would like to stress is that we all remain accessible to you and extend a heartfelt offer to help in any way in your development process.? Please feel free to contact me anytime for any reason.? If I cannot provide you the answer I am not afraid to say ?I don?t know? and will get back to you as soon as possible.? I can?t wait to come to one of your future events and get out there with you!

Sincerely,

David Simmons"[/font]

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
