Presidential Ramblings:
By: Jay Munson

The holiday season is upon use. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you will all be able to spend the Christmas holiday with your family and friends.

I hope everyone was able to get some hunting time in this fall. With only a couple weeks of muzzleloader and expanded archery season left I hope you had better luck this season than I did. Though I have not taken a deer yet this year I did spend many enjoyable hours in the woods with my family and friends. That to me is more enjoyable than any deer I might get the opportunity to take.

Supper Meeting: December 6th, 6:00 P.M. at the clubhouse

The meal this month will be baked ham.

The speaker this month will be George Smith, Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine’s Executive Director. George will be speaking about SAM and their current endeavors as well as answering any questions you might have for him.

I would like to encourage all of you to please attempt to make the meeting as this is your opportunity to not only catch up on old friendships and current events with in the club, but this is also your opportunity to express your cares and concerns reference the club and the direction it is headed in. As a reminder to those who have not paid their dues yet, they were due back in May. Any member who did not paid their dues by the end of October has had their names removed from the active member list and will have to pay the $35.00 new member fee to rejoin the club.

Club Activities:

The Sportsman’s Show is just around the corner. The dates of the 2008 show are March 14th through the 16th. Please see Woody or myself if you are able to assist in anyway with the show.

The club will be raffling off 3 guns and a gun cabinet this winter as a fund raiser. We will be selling tickets at the sportsmen’s show as well as mailing tickets out to each club member. We would like to see each member purchase the tickets sent to them as a way of supporting the club. We would also like to see each member then request additional tickets that can in turn be sold to family, friends and coworkers.

Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at the clubhouse at 6:00 P.M.
