From the President:
As I promised last month, I have the winners for the top sellers of the club raffle tickets. 1st place this year goes to Val DiVeste. He will receive $50. In 2nd place is Don DePofi and 3rd place is Tony Vigorito. Don and Tony will both receive $25. This is the second year that Val sold the most club raffle tickets. This year was an amazing 87 tickets! Wow! Thank you Val, Don and Tony. A list of gun winners is posted on the bulletin board in the club meeting room.
The purchase of the land to the north of our property is at a stalemate. Our offers are not acceptable to the owners and the counter offers that they have proposed are not acceptable to our club. Therefore this will be tabled for now.
The new parking lot along the drive way is marked out with caution tape. The rest of the brush and small trees need cut and some defoliant applied. We also still need some culvert for the ditches. If you can help in any way on this project please give me a call.
Please remember June 6th is Fairhaven Day and June 13th is the club fishing derby. Lots of help is needed for both events.
