The 5th FAAM Annual General Meeting was held yesterday at Torque Brewing Co. Our first inperson meeting in two years! We were able to honour in-person our Awards recipients from the past two seasons, thank the outgoing Executive Commitee, elected the new Executive Committee, approved several Motions, recap the past year’s FAAM Events, and hand out a pile of prizes! Members unable to attend were able to join us via the livestream online. Huge thank you to our returning sponsors Smoke N Fish, Harvester Outdoors, 2 Rivers Boat Works, Carlo’s Cucina, Max's Restaurant Winnipeg, Eskimo Ice Fishing Gear, Filipino Journal, Kickerfish, and JEM Insurance. All members in attendance went home with a lure package sponsored by Berkley Fishing! Special thanks to Jason Cross who donated a ton of prizes for the random draws and Jeremy Santos for donating the customary 100 lumpia draw!
