Board of Directors Meeting:Executive board meets at Matt Gutzwilers, located at 2151 Maceldowny Rd. through June. Matt's phone number is 663-1526.
Another Missed Thank You:We are very sorry for overlooking the rifle donated to the game feed by Ruth Low and High Mountain Hunting Supply. Our sincere thanks for this rifle.
Temporary Banquet Site:Because of the uncertainty of the new Eagle's facility being unavailable for our Game Feed in 2007 we are looking for a temporary site. This could also mean wild game meat may not be on the menu. We are planning to make some hard decisions at our May meeting. Your input is needed.
Tree Hauling:Ray Potter had a vision for some piled up apple trees, made a phone call and the rest is history. Many thanks go out to Jim Sackett who donated the trees, to Ed Shaplow and the use of his excavator, to the P.U.D. dump trucks and volunteer drivers Dixie Dringman, Jim Pritchard and Don Rasmusson for the long day of hauling the trees up to the Chelan Butte. The trees were dumped in various locations and the following week P.U.D. biologist Paul Fielder had a crew reshape the 40 plus piles into nesting and escapement piles for quail and chukars. Funding for Paul's crew came from the re-licensing of Lake Chelan Dam. Thanks to Ray's vision upland game birds have 40 plus new escapement sites.
