The regular membership of the Idaho State B.A.S.S. Federation was called to order by Vice President James Raitter at 7:30 P.M. at the Tri State Marine. There were 12 officers, representatives and guests present.

The minutes of October 2001 were approved as written.

Steve noted that he had changed a treasury report from July 2001 due to $1000 from B.A.S.S. being put into the General Fund when it should have been put into South Operating Fund due to release boat repairs.
