Oyster Feed:There will be an "all you can eat" oyster feed at the Dryden Gun Club January 11. Contact Ron Jagla at
662-5929 for tickets. Money raised will go back into youth activities.
Game Meat:As of the middle of December, Irv's freezers are about as bare as Old Mother Hubbards cupboards. Thus Irv and Ron are looking for any wild game meat - mainly elk. Give Ron a call at 884-9369 or Irv at 884-3071.
Game Feed: Reminder, the game feed is Feb. 11, 2002. Doors open at 5:00pm. Tickets are on sale at One Shot (across from the Federal Building), Valley Feed and Rocky's House of Guns. Ron Bruno and Gordon Goodwin (663-3620) will be selling tickets also or check out the internet site www.ncwoutdoors.com Just print the coupon, fill it out and mail it with a check to Ron Bruno. Ticket prices are: adult - $35.00, youth - $25.00 and a lifetime member - $20.00. Be sure to show your lifetime membership when buying the ticket.
Games & Raffles:Along with our large general raffle we will be offering dice, dart and card games, hat raffle, silent auctions and juvenile and life time membership raffles.
PA System:We will have a private professional P.A. system. Bill Miller will be setting up 4 or 5 speakers, a hand mike and two lapel mikes. Bill provides an outstanding P.A. system.
Help Needed:Again - We will need a lot of folks around 4:30pm to help man the games. We would like to have folks sign up at the January meeting who will start the games and some folks who will relieve them. There will be a need for people to sell beer, help at the door to sell tickets and many other little jobs prior to dinner. Contact Mike Sprague at
782-5029 or Matt Gutzwiler at 663-1526 if you have any questions.
Alcohol:This year, like last year, we will be selling beer and wine by purchasing tickets. The decision to do this way was the strong recommendations of the Liquor Control Board. Tickets must be purchased and then exchanged for beer or wine.

Muzzleloader with starter kit and tape; deer carrier; snowshoes; Ruger 44 Cal.
