fishing in South Florida. This is one of our year’s socials, so please
feel free to bring your wives, husbands, girlfriends etc. It will be held at
nautical Bimini BoatYard, which is famous for their fine food.

If you are a corporation or individual who wants to enter the tournament
and do not have access to a boat, I would highly recommend Captain Leo’s
Boat. The following is a link to his website
www.liteningsportfishing.com.

All the proceeds of the tournament go to ASHRAE Resource
Promotion goal. With a good turn out we should meet our annual goal. It should be another fun event for those who like to spend a little time out in South Florida’s beautiful waters. So whether you are a diehard fisherman
or just want to soak up some sun on a relaxing day out on the ocean,
please sign up.

About Our Speaker
Even more important than having a good boat is having a
great Captain!

Meet Captain Leo DeMattia.
Holder of a Master's license,
Captain DeMattia is a thirty-year veteran of these waters. He is a
native Floridian who has lived here
for 44 years. His experience, knowledge and sure hand will
make your excursion a
successful one.

In addition to this, Captain
DeMattia has multiple tournament wins to his credit. He holds the record for the most sailfish caught and released in one day (17). Captain DeMattia has also been featured on
The Fishin' Hole by ESPN’s Jerry McKinnis.

A Final Message From Our President

It has been a pleasure serving as the GoldCoast Chapter’s President over the last year. I would like to express my gratitude to all members who have contributed to our success during my term. It has been extremely gratifying to have served with all of my officers and committee chairs whose hard work and dedication helped us achieve the goals we set for ourselves.

The businesses that supported our Chapter were key elements in giving us the tools we needed to keep the Chapter and Society strong. I would like to thank all those who attended our meetings, who brought the energy to our monthly presentations that is needed to build momentum. It is the gathering of the members and the exchange of ideas that occurs during our meetings, which builds the value of ASHRAE.

I will now join the growing list of Past Presidents who you see listed in our monthly newsletter, but unlike old soldiers I will not fade away. Next year I will have the opportunity and challenge to be Resource Promotions Chair.

Please join me in supporting Jason Ayala as next year’s President. As you may know the GoldCoast Chapter will be hosting next year’s Chapter Regional Conference, so Jason will have more than enough to keep him busy. Let’s all continue to help ASHRAE in whatever means we can.

Sincerely,

Joe Fellmeth

Our ASHRAE Gold coast Chapter will perform the 2nd annual The “WAR” fishing tournament on June 12, 2004 with all proceeds to be contributed to ASHRAE for the Gold Coast Chapter’s Resource & Promotion fundraising campaign. The tournament will be held at Ft. Lauderdale Marina, SE 15th Street on the west side of the Intracostal, in Ft. Lauderdale.
