Ice Fishing Outing Correction

Last newsletter incorrectly stated the phone number to call for reservations. The correct # is 1-800-334-3277, prompt #1 for reservations & prompt #26 for location.

For more information contact Rod Kent 285-2358 or Cleon McMahon 262-5231.

Membership Renewals Now Available

We have received the membership renewal notices for 2007. You may pay your 2007 dues at the door on Tuesday nights. Remember, if you elect to pay your dues at the door you will be saving your chapter the cost of mailing the notices out. Last year members paying at the door and picking up their membership cards, when they came in, saved the chapter over $200 in postage.

Those not paid at the door will be mailed out soon after the end of November.

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.
