Tom Miller, legendary founder and first president of the Loveland Fishing Club, was proclaimed our Vice President by unanimous agreement at the April general meeting. He will support Karol Stroschein in her role as President, and serve as President for 2023.
Tom will be the first member to serve a second term as President; frankly, he's accepted the role because in this covid-stricken period in the club's history, no one else has stepped up to volunteer. Also this year, he has served as program chair for club meetings, responsible for arranging speakers at our monthly meetings.
Tom masterminded the club's creation almost two decades ago. The first club meeting was held at Chilsen SeniorCenter on Sept. 16, 2003, followed by a first “official” fishing trip on Dowdy Lake ice on Jan. 16, 2004.
The club was chartered on Jan. 26, 2004 as a nonprofit affiliated with Loveland Parks and Recreation Foundation, a 501 (C)(3).
That first fishing trip was followed on Feb. 1 at Boyd Lake, and the club has been all over the Rocky Mountain West ever since.
Speaking of service beyond the call, last year's president Doug Money has been serving as club secretary as the search for a new volunteer continues. And Barb Ding is completing an 11th year as club treasurer, planning to step down in 2023. If you're interested in either position, or other enjoyable and much-appreciated ways to help the club flourish, contact Karol.
For all who've been volunteering for the club, our collective thanks.
