THANK YOU TO ALL who have sent in donations to date! We are putting
them to work. Also those who have donated their time working on this
project. A BIG THANK YOU! The sheetrock has been hung and
taped and is now ready to be painted. We still need a lot of help with the
flooring -trim- and installing the counter tops sinks and toilets so please
contact Gary Crawford 677-5332 or Kevin Irwin 921-9500 to get in your workday!

Member’s
club tour day
will be August 20 along with the 4-wheeler weekend. We
will meet at the BBQ tent on Camp 1 Road at 9:AM sharp, PLEASE BE ON TIME!!
New members can get to know the club land thru the "old
timers" that we have in the club. They are a wealth of info and are willing
to share it with you. You may find out where all the gates are or the best
hunting and fishing spots are. Last year Chuck Parker attended and said
" it was the best time he ever had on the club land". All
are welcome please let Lou McNett or Gary Crawford know you will be coming.
Gun
Raffle:
Dave Dano announced the raffle is set for 30 of the 31 days in October, as it
cannot run for more than 30 days. Tickets will come out in August. Sharpshooters
is pricing out the gun selection. If you want specific numbers please email
Charlene Dano at: c-dano@hotmail.com.
Sportsman’s
Federation Report: Our lawmakers are busy proposing various bills that will
affect your hunting rights and privileges. Chuck Parker reported that the money
sportsmen pay each year to hunt is a substantial number and our elected
officials understand the potential impact we could have. But if we do not pay
attention to these changes and write letters to our officials, our hunting
seasons can be drastically changed. Please refer to the web pages listed at the
bottom of the newsletter for more information or contact Chuck Parker.

Notice:
From
security: people are not allowed to prop open gates to allow people to visit
their campsites. The east and west gates were found open during the 4th
of July weekend. The landowner has made it clear they do not want to find any of
the gates open. Please do not risk our land. If you are expecting company then
meet them at the gates.
A
club member reported that a large number of people were camped out at Strawberry
Lake. Only one of them was a club member. Per the clubs rules members are
allowed to bring a guest on the property to fish or hunt but the rules state one
member/ one guest for hunting or fishing. You can have a group to camp during
the summer but they should not be fishing or hunting as this violates our rules.
Trout
Derby:
We had a good turnout for the derby. Owen Hert Holtz was the 1st
place winner with an 8-½ inch brookie. His
name is placed on the plaque in the clubhouse. 12 children attended and each
went home with a rod and reel plus some lures. Thirty trout were caught and
entered in the derby.
ITEMS
OF INTEREST:
A member has asked that
the property addresses be posted in the newsletter. I will follow up with this
request as I believe it would be better if we posted it on the website.
We would lose track of it as the newsletters changed.
If someone has good GPS coordinates for the different properties please
let me know.
Archery: Bill Killam
(387-3350 or Dick Brock 782-5977) are the people running the archery
