Membership/Newsletter
If you have any changes to your address, e-mail address, or phone numbers please be sur e and send me notice of those changes. New postal regulations for undeliverable USPS mail will cost the club beginning in May. With so many giving up their land lines for cell phones, I am finding several numbers that are no longer in service. My e-mail address is [email protected]. If you have not renewed your membership this will be your last newsletter.
From the President:
The first thing to say is Thank You to all the people that helped to make the Wild Game Dinner a huge success. I don’t have the money figures as of this writing but the event was just fantastic. If you did not make it you missed a great meal. There was plenty of food there to please every taste. With the chicken, and pork from the spit, and the fried fish mixed in with the wild game it made a feast for a king.
We have some work parties in the works as soon as the weather breaks. There are lots of projects on the burner for this year. We are getting estimates for new doors and new windows for the clubhouse and the range. If you know someone that does this have them get in touch with one of the officers or trustees. We are getting everything ready to convert over to gas soon. The well is done so we will need estimates for new furnaces and the associated work for this job as well. Again we need some input from the membership.
The interest in purchasing the property to our north has been t abled for the time being.
