General Meeting: : October 8, 2001
Eagles Lodge - 7:30pm
With regret, the club accepted the resignation of Randy Hein as treasurer, as Randy has made an occupational change. He is receiving training to become an enforcement agent for the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. We wish him well on his new adventure. Ron Bruno has been elected as the new treasurer. Thanks much Randy for your time and service.
New Signs: While driving around looking for camp sites, hunting or pleasure driving, you will be seeing some new plastic signs posted in campsites. The club voted to purchase 100 signs that states "A Sportsman Leaves A Clean Camp", Wenatchee Sportsman Association. Our objective is to get hunters to leave a clean camp. We also voted to purchase calendars to give to a business that donates items to our game feed. It's another way of saying thank you.
Game Feed: As we head into our new meeting year, we also head into preparations for the upcoming game feed. Each year we set a goal of bettering last years game feed ---- which we have done. Again with your help, ideas, and donations, we will have a better game feed. So start thinking of ways to earn more money this year as the game feed is only 4 months away.
Lifetime Memberships:The cost of the lifetime membership is $250.00. That does not include a free meal at the game feed.
