    <div>Gordy, Tom, Liz,</div>
    <div> </div>
    
    <div>Want to keep you updated with regard to CICP activities in Southwest Florida.</div>
    <div> </div>
    
    <div>The FFF and CICP made a good showing at the Shallow Water Fishing Exposition in Sarasota last weekend.  Show owner, Mark Castlow, graciously permitted us to test instructor candidates and gave the FFF space for a booth.  The Mangrove Coast Fly Fishers of Sarasota, led by club president and Master Instructor Pete Greenan, manned the FFF Display Booth sent down from Livingston.  Certified Instructor Rusty Chinnis organized and led casting instruction for children.  Certified Instructor Capt Greg Bowdish conducted a presentation on saltwater kayaking.  Master Instructors Brad Lowman, Rex Gudgel and Scott Swartz participated in the CI pre-test workshop with Greenan and me.  Two CI candidates were tested by Lowman, Gudgel and Greenan, one of which passed -- Bob Beanblossom.  You'll remember Beanblossom from one of your Marathon workshops.  Lowman, Gudgel, Greenan, Swartz and I presented Lefty Kreh with the Outstanding Achievement in Fly Casting Instruction award, given by the BOG in August in Livingston. </div>
    <div> </div>
    
    <div>Overall, Our CICP and the FFF had a strong presence at this expo with excellent synergy among the instructors.  We all hope to grow the program in this region and across the state.  Pete Greenan is focusing heavily on state-wide FFF growth.  You'll be hearing more from him in the near future about that. </div>
    <div> </div>
    
    <div>The Mangrove Coast Fly Fishers in conjuction with the Coastal Conservation Association will host the inaugural &quot;Fall Fly Fishng Challenge&quot; on October 29th at Sarasota - we have a good number of FFF instructors participating.  The club is also hosting an extensive casting clinic conducted by five certified and master certifiied instructors on November 5th in Sarasota.</div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>So, we are having fun and trying to grow the program.</div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>I look forward to seeing you in Marathon next month.</div>
