The following notice has been issued by the North Carolina Fisheries Association regarding a planned bus trip to the February 24th fisherman's rally
NCFA is planning a bus trip to Washington DC to participate it the โFIX Magnusonโ rally on February 24th on the steps of the capitol. The plan is to have two buses (more if we need them) one leaving from the Outer Banks area, and one leaving from New Bern on the morning of February 24th.
In order to make arrangements we need to hear from those planning on attending no later than Friday January 29th.
The cost for a seat on the bus will be $60 with limited seating; the buses hold 47 people. If we do not hear from enough people to fill the buses by January 29th, we will make other arrangements for the trip. Please let us know your plans no later than January 29th.
This is a trip to Washington to stand up for our industry and let the elected officials know that the current system of management is destroying our industry. Fishermen and their families from all over the country are expected to attend and demand that our elected officials โFIX MAGNUSON.โ
