ITEMS OF INTEREST:

Newsletter Change:  The newsletter will transition to the MRC website in May. All people currently receiving the newsletter via e-mail will be able to go to the web to see the current newsletter along with past newsletters. Those of you without email addresses will continue to get a hard copy. Those of you who would prefer to use the website instead of a hard copy can contact the newsletter editor via phone or email (kallen2@twcny.rr.com) and I will update the mailing list. The e-mail list was becoming hard to maintain as people change their emails and I do not get the updates. By using the website I will be able to update the site in a more timely matter and when issues come up between meetings I can add them to the website as Newsletter Updates. Also, I am hoping to begin adding some pictures to the site.

Announcement from Gutchess Lumber: Foresters will be inspecting the lands owned by Gutchess from April 4th through June 15th 2011. They will be working periodically in the forest and using the road systems.  This is to let members know to be aware of this and as always to use caution while turkey hunting and general land use.

Workday chairman, Paul Newton, is transferring his responsibilities over to Dick Palmer. 

Reminder: No motorized vehicles on club property until after May 1st.
