Once again the Polar Coachman club will host a group of folks servied by the C.N.I.B at Vivian lake for a day of fishing, visiting and a barbeque lunch.  This is always a great day for the members who volunteer their day to share our passion with people who don't get to be out on the water as often as we do.
