Welcome Back –
It’s 2007!
I hope all of you had an enjoyable and safe holiday.
Last year was another good and eventful year. A new sound and
video system was installed, we received an award for our hosting
of the State convention and had two successful Hillbilly
auctions, just to mention a few of the years accomplishments.
And now our Board has put together the plans for our first
annual Hunting and Fishing swap meet. If this event is as
successful as hoped it will greatly strengthen our chapter.
When you come in for Walleye Tuesday night take notice of the
newly polished floors in the bar and dining room. We need to
thank the following for their efforts in stripping and polishing
them during closing: Larry Clark, Dave Rue, Ken Dirksen, Bill
Muilenburg, Roger Lively, and a special thanks to Jack Soulis
who furnished the equipment, expertise and a giant share of the
labor.
Door Prizes
Note: We are in need of door prizes for the weekly drawing.
See Steve Roe, Program Chairman if you can donate an item.
Make sure you
sign your dinner ticket to be eligible to win. You
must be present to win. |
