Game Feed: Once again, a special round of applause to the following people and groups who helped make our game feed a success. The two individuals are Matt Gutzwiler, who spent the past 3 months putting it together and Tom Obergen who again prepared another outstanding dinner. Then there are the members who have donated time and energy since the last game feed processing donated game meat, collecting donations, giving donations, helping in the kitchen, setting up the dining room, washing dishes all day and into the late night and finally cleaning up and putting things away.
A special thanks to Ron and Don Jagla and Neil Fulwiler for donating rifles and to Matt at One Shot. Matt handled our
legal aspects of the firearms. Thanks also to Weinstien Beverage and Columbia Distributing for the pepsi and beer
products.
An extra special thank you goes out to the individuals who participated in attending the game feed --- you are the ones
who make it the success that it is.
