General Meeting: May 8th, 2006 ,Cedars Inn Motel, East Wenatchee
(Traffic Light @ Corner of Hwy 28 & 9th St.) 7:30pm
Reminder of Meeting Place:A reminder our temporary meeting site
will remain at the Cedars Inn, in East Wenatchee, through June and possibly
into the fall. We are in hopes the Eagles will have a new location ready by
September. Time is still 7:30pm. See directions above.
Elections:The election of officers will take place at this May
meeting.
Board of Directors Meeting:Executive board meets at Matt
Gutzwilers, located at 2151 Maceldowny Rd. through June. Matt's phone number is
663-1526.
Another Missed Thank You:We are very sorry for overlooking the
rifle donated to the game feed by Ruth Low and High Mountain Hunting Supply.
Our sincere thanks for this rifle.
Temporary Banquet Site:Because of the uncertainty of the new
Eagle's facility being unavailable for our Game Feed in 2007 we are looking for
a temporary site. This could also mean wild game meat may not be on the menu.
We are planning to make some hard decisions at our May meeting. Your input
is needed.
Tree Hauling:Ray Potter had a vision for some piled up apple trees,
made a phone call and the rest is history. Many thanks go out to Jim Sackett
who donated the trees, to Ed Shaplow and the use of his excavator, to the
P.U.D. dump trucks and volunteer drivers Dixie Dringman, Jim Pritchard and Don
Rasmusson for the long day of hauling the trees up to the Chelan Butte. The
trees were dumped in various locations and the following week P.U.D. biologist
Paul Fielder had a crew reshape the 40 plus piles into nesting and escapement
piles for quail and chukars. Funding for Paul's crew came from the re-licensing
of Lake Chelan Dam. Thanks to Ray's vision upland game birds have 40 plus new
escapement sites.
Department Report:A reminder hunters can purchase the new
multiple season hunts. There are two ways to submit your application: 1) call
