Game Feed:The upcoming game feed is coming together nicely. Gene Robard (game feed chairman) has his committee members and other working hands collecting donations and related work in hopes of making this the best game feed ever. Ron Bruno and Tom Obergon have put together another menu and, as usual, second to none. The health department requires the menu be submitted to them for approval.
Menu:Bear Lasagna, Wild Game Burger, Texas Style Chili With Elk, Venison Taco's With Salsa Fresca, Duck Breast With Country Herb Dumplings, Spanish Style Cougar With Rice, Elk Pot Roast Corned With Cabbage, Mongolian Elk Steaks and Moose Meat Balls.
Banquet/Tickets:Tickets are available at One Shot, Hooked On Toys and Valley Feed and Rocky's House of Guns. Ron (884-9369) and Gordy Goodwin (663-3620) have tickets also. Ron usually pulls these tickets around Feb. 1 to tally ticket sales. So if you haven't picked yours up yet get it done asap.
Lifetime Memberships:This is a one time fee of $350. That does not include the cost of the annual game feed dinner ticket. There will be two Lifetime Member Raffles; one for existing Lifers (must show their lifetime membership card) and one for new members (there must be 5 new signees in order to have this raffle).
Volunteers Needed:There will be a need for volunteers to help run the games and be miscellaneous helpers and receivers. Most of the help will be needed to clean up after dinner. Remember - "many hands make for small work."
Sponsors and Donations:The club welcomes with open arms the sponsorship of any of our purchased items. We equally welcome the donations of items. Contact Gene Robard 662-6277, Matt at 663-1526 or Ron at 884-9369
