Donated Game Meat Contacts |
General Meeting:Sept 8th, 2003 ,at Eagles Lodge - 7:30pm
Welcome Sportsmen, To Another Year Of Outdoor Activities, Interests and
TogethernessWe Hope You Had A Great Summer And Are Looking Forward To
All Of Your Outdoor Activities Between Now And Next Fall!
Early Call For Game Meat:We are always on the lookout for wild
game meat, exotic or otherwise. The club will pay the freight on any wild game
donated to the club. There have been a few bear taken locally, so if you know
of someone who doesn't want the meat, give Ron Bruno 884-9369 a call. We are
looking for one or two members to be available to receive calls concerning
donated wild game meat. Contact Ron if interested. As you may or may not know,
Irv Garney and his wife have moved to the Vancouver / Portland area to live
nearer to one of their children. Their move was brought about by Irv's failing
health. Thanks Irv for the many years of dedicated service to the club and
your unconditional love to prepare wild game meat. We miss you greatly!!
Clean Up Day:A special thanks goes to Matt Gutzwiler and his wife
for organizing the Stemilt Basin clean up day. The volunteers filled 3 huge
dumpsters and had 4 or 5 auto hulks hauled out. Many, many thanks go out to the
many outdoor clubs, banner makers, refreshment providers and others who helped
make that day a success. Several hundred hours and miles driven were donated to
this worthy cause. Thanks to all who helped.
Membership:: If you haven't renewed your membership, our next
meeting would be an ideal time to do so. Currently a lifetime membership is
$250.00. Late last winter there was discussion about raising that amount so now
would be a good time to purchase in case it does increase in the future..

Web Page:: Our web page is still functioning well. To log on,
type in www.ncwoutdoors.com and click
down to our club information. Ron Bruno welcomes any outdoor activity
information for the web page.
Work Party:: There are at least two feeders to be built this fall
(after fire season subsides). Pete will fill feeders in the Colockum /
Tarpiscan area shortly after corn harvest starts in the Basin which should be
mid to late Oct. and Tom usually fills feeders in the Swakane / Chelan Butte
area after the first of November. Volunteers and pickups are always welcome.
Department Report:: Remember, Bob Perleberg can't sell licenses
at this office as of July 1. They must be purchased at a licensed dealer like
Hooked-on-Toys, Save Mart, Big 5 etc. The new upland game / water fowl pamphlet
will be out the 1st or 2nd week of September. The upper Columbia (above Priest
Rapid Dam) will remain open to Chinook salmon fishing until Oct. 15. Bob has a
blue sheet with all of the information concerning salmon fishing on the upper
Columbia. Bob has a large selection of free pamphlets and magazines abut
various fish and wildlife for both adults and youths. You should check them
out. Tom McCall (665-3391) will be needing volunteers to help release pheasants
in late Sept. and again in late Oct. and Nov. Always seek permission to hunt on
private property.
Fire Danger:Enough can not be said as to how serious the fire
danger is now and throughout most of our hunting season. We always must be
conscious of the potential of fire danger when in the outdoors. Bob Perleberg
has several copies on road closures in Chelan County. At current fire danger
Level 2, you can access to public land for legitimate purpose / use. Hunting is
a legitimate reason to access public land.
Program:We will have the usual "Hunting Prospects" for
fall and winter by either Beau Patterson or Tom McCall. Following their report,
a member from the Chelan / Douglas County Drug Force will speak to us about
drug and drug paraphernalia including abandoned meth labs. We feel this is an
issue of great importance to those who spend a lot of time out doors. Please
invite another member or a friend. We all need to be educated.
