MARCH EXCOM MINUTES
by Debbie Wade
The first TCAFS ExCom meeting for 2000 was held March
28, 2000 at the TPWD Waco Regional Office. Charlie
Munger, Gordon Linam, Aaron Barkoh, John Prentice, and
Deborah Wade were present. The meeting was called to
order at 1:00 p.m. by Charlie Munger, President.
* Debbie presented the treasurer's report: the TCAFS
currently has $47,350.46 total funds available. This is a net
increase in both investments and checking from the March
1999 combined statement of $11,388.46. This increase is the
result of wise investments and the move of some funds to a
higher risk account. Expenses for the 2000 meeting totaled
$10,633.53 with income being $10,628.85 for a net loss of
$4.68 between the three chapters.
* John Prentice made the motion to accept the treasurer's
report and Aaron Barkoh seconded it. The motion passed.
* Gordon Linam has begun planning the 2001 meeting,
which will be held in Central Texas. This will be the 25th
Anniversary meeting of the TCAFS. A possible topic for the
panel discussion is "Value of the Environment".

during the fall of 1999.
Awards- John Prentice has put together a committee
consisting of Danny Lewis, Fran Gelwick, Dave Buckmeier,
Tom Wagner, Joe Warren, and Ray Drenner. The
committee's first task is to determine who won the Best
Presentation awards from the 2000 annual meeting. The
second area of concern is attempting to raise awareness of the
fishery workers awards and increase the number of
nominations from the membership. The final project for the
awards committee is to update the Procedures Manual to
include the Outstanding Student Award.
Editorial- Aaron Barkoh has taken over as chair of the
Editorial Committee that consists of Joe Fries, Larry
McKeron, and Dave Buckmeir. They are getting ready to
begin the editorial process for the 2000 proceedings.

suggestions for Continuing Education classes for the 2001
