Alaska trip presentation: Tonight at IWLA meeting in Roanoke

The  Roanoke chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America tends to get some interesting guests to speak at its membership meetings.

Apparently the field was a little thin this month because club president Bob Corbitt asked if I’d mind giving a presentation on my recent trip to Alaska.

As a member of the club I agreed to take one for the team.

I told Bob I’d try to give the meeting a little plug on my blog. I’m doing that now. Yeah, it’s kind of late. But I’m a guy who hasn’t yet put together my slide show for the presentation. (Yeah, gonna have to get on that.)

So, if you don’t have plans, and felt like you didn’t get enough of Alaska through my blog postings, come on down.

The meeting is at the Woodlawn Methodist Church in Roanoke, near the Coffee Pot diner. It starts at 6:30 and the club feeds you.

    Mark, I attended your slide show at the IWLA last night. Really enjoyed it. Sounds like the weather wasn’t the best. But a bad day of fishing is better than a day of work. Really liked the picture of the Momma Bear. Hope you get to go back and have better weather. Johnboy47
