Foothills Meeting this Thursday

Program for this week's Foothills Meeting... see you there!

Guest Speaker:  Jeff Samsel

Date:  1/8/15

Time:  6:30 PM

Location:  United Community Bank - Clarkesville

Jeff Samsel is an outdoor writer, photographer and editor who actually lives in Clarkesville, GA.  He writes mostly fishing how-to and where-to stories for magazines and websites.  He's authored two books and contributed chapters to several others.  Fishing adventures have lured Jeff as far from home as Canada's Yukon Territory and Brazil's Amazon River basin - although his absolute favorite fishing destination is only about 45 minutes from his house within the rugged gorge of a crashing mountain river.
