Fresh, new blood is the sometimes needed bring to us back to life, I think the same goes for forum boards. On the lake, at the ramp, in the bait store, even in the sporting goods sections of your favorite stores are potential new C.C. members, they just haven't been asked or informed that such a resource is available. The long history of fishing and resources in Va., make the state fertile for new membership. Hope this motivates several of the active members to extend invitations to like same sportsman that are shopping, boating, fishing, etc. around them. I even think a modified state motto might be in order "Virginia is for Lovers of Fish". lol
Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.
