ATTN Southeast chapter members!!! Frank Andrews has busted his fanny and has put together a great sounding Holiday/Christmas Get Together. It will be slightly different than years past. As we have not held a get together since 2019, this might be time to initiate a change.
Franks has arranged our get together to be catered. They will do the set up, provide plates, cutlery, etc, provide the food and do the clean up for the FANTASTIC price of 10 bucks a head. In the past, Todd McDonald and his family got saddled with set up, most of the food and all of the clean up. This set up allows us to enjoy each other's company with no worries.
The menu, as it stands now, will be ham mashed potatoes gravy green beans rolls tea I will ask attendees to bring a covered plate to enhance the menu. Nay and I will bring a variety of desserts.
Event details are Dec 8 from 5-7pm at the Fleet Reserve in Jax (address to be provided). At 7pm, the FRA will hold karaoke should people be interested. A cash bar (nominal prices) is available and Frank has assured non-members of FRA can partake if interested.
Final numbers need to be submitted early to the FRA as well as the caterer. If you are planning on attending, please let me know via this forum or email me at retiredweaxman@gmail.com Attendees need to be confirmed prior to Nov 28 (Monday after Thanksgiving).
I will spread this word through FB, email and will send this same message to the Aerograph. Please help spread the word to your friends so that we can have a great turnout!!
Dave

As we slowly awaken from the year plus long slumber of the pandemic, things are also awakening in the southeast chapter as well.
Marty and Bea Bonk are making plans for a family reunion in NC this August. Having not seen family for so long, it is hoped they can reacquaint themselves with family and friends. Plans have been in the making for months...here is hoping all comes together and everyone has a great time.

Dave Carroll and 3 of his friends went on a small fishing charter on the St
Marys River. A few flounder were caught as well as some bluefish but the catch
of the day had to be the 4 foot shark Dave caught. It was brought to the side of the boat when
it snapped the line. Another friend was able to catch and boat his shark...a 3
footer!!
We had hoped to meet up as a chapter for lunch in September and start to
discuss a holiday get together. The last one held was in 2019. It was decided
as we have the reunion in October, that tentative plans might be considered in
Savannah. Expect a preliminary email sometime in September.
Hope all is well with everyone out there. If you have any ideas for the 2021
Holiday Get Together, please reach out to Dave Carroll at retiredweaxman@gmail.com. Looking forward to
seeing everyone again soon!!

The Covid-19 virus/pandemic continues to play havoc with everyone's lives and the NWSA Southeastern chapter is no exception. Regardless of your personal belief about the virus, people are getting sick and passing away because of it. With a lot of our members at some type of risk, it is best to follow the state of Florida's guidance and limit group get-togethers. With that being said, some things are happening on personal fronts. Marty Bonk's wife Bea suffered a health setback recently. Out of respect for Marty and his family. I prefer not to divulge too many details. Bea is out of the hospital and is resting comfortably at home. The Covid-19 virus/pandemic continues to play havoc with everyone's lives and the NWSA Southeastern chapter is no exception.

The trip is advertised as, "inshore fishing" and sea trout, flounder, red fish, sheepshead are just a few of the species that can be fished. This particular charter is done on a 20 foot boat with a max of 4 people. If all turns out well and there is enough interest, this could turn into a trip for the NWSA chapter to think about.

Dave Carroll and his wife Renee along with Rose Frazier and her husband Arthur have made arrangements and booked a Princess southern Caribbean cruise for Feb 2021. Of course, the trip is dependent on the progress of the battle against the pandemic but eyes are on the future and returning to a "more normal" life. It is not too early to start thinking about the annual Christmas get together. Normally the party is held at Todd McDonald's house. With the pandemic the way it is and the current limitations to the size of get-togethers in the state of Florida, we might have to consider alternate options.

ELECTION OF NEW PRESIDENT: AGC DAVE CARROLL. HOME LOCATED IN SE GA
E-MAIL: retiredweatherman@gmail.com
Phone: 912-439-3645
Term Expires: 12/31/2023.
22 attended with several no shows and they missed a great meal and party. Most of the meeting was linked to the election. Other officer will remain in office for at least the year 2020. We would like to thank LT TODD MCDONALD and his bride Cheryl for the great parties that have provided to the NWSA SE CHAPTER over the years and I am sure that I heard him say; He will be there for us for the 2020 Christmas Party.
Thanks goes out to some of my family member for their assistance in getting Charline and I to the party and to assist in the photo of the event. Additional photos will follow. Group photo is attached.
We remain strong in our group and did note that the Chapters in other area are closing down. Part of that is that there is no new member or very few that are entering the Weather field and the ones that are, they just seem to lack the interest
I will continue searching for member and non-member that have passed on for their final cruise. Did note that the Reunion will be held in the Spring time at Savannah GA. Details can be picked up on the NWSA web site or the Face Book.
If you have any questions, you can contact me for I am still trying to stay in the loop.
AGC BOB JOHNSON
NWSA SE CHAPTER 2ND VP
