What's Happening with WLASA?WLASA News
First Quarter, March 2021 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Greeting Club Members, we are enjoying summer weather at this time, but it is too early to tell how mother nature will play out. Let us hope it helps with the walleye pond this year. Again, we are dealing with COVID-19 as we will not host the Kids Fishing Contest during the Free Fishing Weekend in June. But good things for the future are: (1) the Walleye Pond will be active, we hope to have plenty of volunteers for that, plus (2) a chance to fillet fish during the Muskegon Summer Showdown Fishing Tournament which will (3) lead to the Club’s hosting, again, the Bill Gillan Fish Boil. We again are presented with opportunities for us to have a successful event for the Club and community and it will with all of us working together as volunteers. Please give Sue Prosch a call as soon as possible to help with the spring highway pick-up. It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know about the passing of Jamy Gillan, son of Glen Gillan, on February 9 and Mr. Ed Emery on April 5. Stay informed by hitting the “Like” button on the Club’s Facebook page or visit the website for future updates and cancellations.
