I buy both my wife and mother a fishing license each year. They may only fish, shrimp or crab once or twice each year but we support the system.

By taking them to the Sno-King CCA banquet later this month and having purchased the tickets, they are now Associate members. Associates don't receive Tides, the CCA magazine. I already get a copy so it is better to have that extra $10 each go into other CCA funding.

The most important thing about all of our household having CCA membership is that we are all registered voters.

I have been distressed to see some of the name calling that has occurred on this board and hope those that have made these postings start following a simple rule when upset about an issue.
