Come to the Pacific Ocean in 2005!
Well, we just finished our last convention
in Ogden, UT, and what a convention it was! But, now itfs time
to start thinking about next yearfs convention. Next year, we will
be in a special place - Catalina Island - off the coast of California.
Zane Grey had a home on Catalina and many of his fishing exploits
took place from Catalina. The house still exists as a bed and breakfast
called the Zane Grey Pueblo.

It's the oldest fishing club in the United States and members

a great chance to get caught up with old and new friends.

Another full
week of happenings! You will be making your own travel plans to
and from the island, but numbers are supplied in the Convention
materials for your convenience. The January newsletter will have
information on the after Convention events as they are worked
out. I have been hearing from a lot of first time attendees that
they will be making the trip to Catalina. This is a great chance
for us to increase our Zane Grey family and hopefully build many
new friendships for years to come. Not to mention visit a location
that has so much Zane Grey history tied to it. Make sure you carve
out the time to make this trip happen for you and your family.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
