High Sierra Fly Casters

Well, the webmaster certainly screwed that one up. Here, in it’s entirety, is the REAL post reminding y’all to renew your HSFC membership:

If you haven’t done so already, it’s high time to renew your High Sierra Fly Casters membership for 2012. The renewal fee is only $30.00 and you can re-up at the first General Meeting of the year on January 18. Alternatively, you can mail your check to HSFC at the address on our contact page.

As in past years, all membership renewals received by January 31, 2012 will be entered in a drawing for a $50.00 gift certificate at The Angler’s Edge.

Please contact Don Stockman at 775-265-7164 with any questions.

Happy New Year from High Sierra Fly Casters’ I.T. Department, housed in a secure data center somewhere along the scenic Mount Rose Highway corridor near Reno, Nevada.

If you haven’t visited HSFC’s Web site lately, the web development team has incorporated a few changes. Check ‘em out:

Look and Feel – The web site was badly in need of a new look, so we stopped by the cosmetics counter at Macy’s and treated it to a makeover. The new WordPress theme sports a cleaner look and uses a larger font for most of the content.

Calendar – We added a Google calendar where we’ll post upcoming events like meetings, fish outs, etc., as far in advance as possible. You can even print the calendar if you want to attach it to your refrigerator. It’s always wise to have a hardcopy backup of critically important information like upcoming fly fishing-related events.

Upcoming Events – We enhanced the list of upcoming events displayed at the top of the sidebar. You can now click on the event to get a little more about it because it’s driven by the aforementioned Google calendar. The next four upcoming events will always be listed here.

Photo Gallery – The web development team spent 500 hours programming downloaded some free software to improve the appearance and administration of HSFC’s photo gallery.

Oh, and a reminder about email addresses. Should you get frustrated with your cable/telephone/internet provider and make a change, you may very well end up with a new email address. At the bottom of each and every email notification we fire out, there’s a link that you can click to quickly and easily update your email address.

So, please take a few minutes between your naps today to point your browser at www.hsfc.us and take it for a test drive. And we hope to see y’all at our first General Meeting of 2012 on Wednesday, January 18!

HSFC’s Christmas Rod Tree at the Douglas County Museum needs to be taken down on Wednesday, January 4. If you’re available and can lend a hand, please meet at the museum at 10:00 AM. If you’ve got any questions, give Bob Taormina a call at 775-265-9159.
