River safety the topic at June meeting

 Leadership Team Member Tom Hensley will enlighten us on the importance of "River Safety" at the monthly meeting June 8  at 7 p.m. at the House of Ribs, 3100 N. Roan St., in Johnson City.

 George Grant will tie the "Dun Variant" at the fly-tying demonstration beginning at 6:15.
 Come  and bring a friend or two.
