MINUTES OF TU MEETING of the November 14,2002 Reactivation Meeting.

"A reactivation meeting of the Overmountain Chapter of Trout Unlimited was held at 7 p.m. on November 14th at the
Appalachian RC&D office (USDA) in Johnson City. The primary focus of the meeting was to review the mission and role of Trout Unlimited in Northeast Tennessee and to reestablish Chapter Leadership. Following extensive discussion of the chapter bylaws, and duties of officers and committee chairpersons, a list of members willing to serve in the key officer and committee chairpersons positions was developed. It was agreed to schedule another meeting of the chapter on Thursday, January 9,2003 at the Firehouse Restaurant in Johnson City. The purpose of this meeting will be to present a proposed slate of officers and directors, obtain any nominations from the floor and elect officers for 2003."
