November Meeting- I have confirmed with Marriott and Luis for the Monday evening the 17th. This is a one time shift in meeting date to accommodate this presenter. We will have a very brief business meeting before. Our November meeting will be at the Courtyard by Marriott on Monday the 17th of November at 6:30 PM. Our guest speaker Luis Mena Baeza is Spain and Europe’s most prominent authority on Coq de Leon feathers and the creative tying methods of them. He is author of “The Pardon de Meana” and will provide a power point presentation and fly tying demonstration of his series of dry flies developed by him using the feathers of Gallo de Leon. He will explain the unique species of poultry that created the premium feathers used. The Spanish Gallo de Leon is the only strain and original source of feathers used around the world. He will have several books for sale at an approximate US cost of $55 if interested in English print. If interested in a book let me know so we can make certain there are enough available from his US tour inventory. He will also have premium quality Coq de Leon feathers for sale from around $10 to $15. As last year, you asked for quality speakers for meetings. PLEASE, set this date aside and plan to attend and public is always welcome. I have a copy of the book and definitely will become part of my library. Excellently done. Attached is some information for you. Now, Please make this date one to show your support of a quality speaker/presenter for the Catskill Mts. Chapter.
Also, December 18th a Thursday evening, will be our annual date for the Christmas Party at the Fair Street Reformed Church in Kingston. We are always fortunate to have our dear friend and Grand Master Chef, Fritz Sonnenschmidt, presenting a splendid demonstration of culinary delites to enhance the holiday season.
He has informed me that he will be demonstrating something different this year. Ron hope all is well with you and the chapter friends. I will be there as a Happy Chef this year I will make a one pot cookery demo taking a Global Culinary Journey.
As always, if you have any items to donate for the bucket raffles, please bring them Monday or get them to Ron. Certainly we all have something lying around that could be someone’s desire. As it is a Pot Luck format, let me know your desires and donations to the food table.
Ron Urban, President
