Hello-

We would like to invite any of our Michigan neighbors to the Wisconsin Bass Federation annual convention March 31- April 2. ?It is being held in the southeast corner of our state this year, in a Milwaukee suburb. ?In case any of your members are in Southern Michigan, it is about an 1 ? hour drive from Chicago. Please spread this message to any other members who may be interested in starting up the Michigan TBF Federation. ?It may be well worth the drive to spend the weekend with the TBF leaders.

Speaking at our convention will be:
Jay Kumar, Bassfan
David Simmons, FLW
Robert Cartlidge, TBF President
Chuck Rolfsmeyer, TBF Northern Division Rep

Let me know if I can answer any questions or be of any help to you.

Yeah - nice of them to think of us. Also a conflict with our next federation meeting where I think some things need to be worked out before we can really get moving...
