Sick Call (please contact the club if you know of anyone who is ill) Our thoughts and prayers are also with Helen Paul, Frank Wylie Jr. and Laura Nardini Dues are due If you have a hardship paying your dues this year, please contact someone from the membership committee or one of the officers. We'd rather work it out with you than loose a valuable member. If you have not paid by January 31st, your name will be dropped from the member's list. If you decided to return at a later date, you will have to go thru the interview process. Hall decorated for Christmas A fantastic job of decorating the hall and tree by Cris Riley and her elves! This year's tree had all of the decorations appropriate for a Rod and Gun club - Antlers, fish, bobbers, lures, gun shells, sporting birds, and boats with a Gold and Red theme. The walls were decorated with presents and bows. All of the wall mounts were decorated with ties and Santa hats. The bear over the doorway had mistletoe for a few lucky sportsmen - enuf said! The centerpieces were put together by Kim Clark and her helpers. Jenifer Marchesi took it upon herself to decorate the bar area. It was all a glitter with a blue and silver theme. The club was very festive for the month of December. Thank you to all that helped in making the holidays at the club, special ones. Adult Christmas Party What a great meal for $10.00 per person. The chefs outdid themselves again. We started out with a variety of appetizers provided by the club and/or its members. This was followed by Prime rib, cranberry stuffed chicken breast, butternut squash, potatoes, Caesar salad, rolls and butter. The dessert table had a variety of home baked goods, donated by the party goers. DJ Michelle did an awesome job and took many requests throughout the evening. Many thanks to all that contributed to our party and to Bruce and Betty for the home made Bailey's! Congratulations to the raffle winners of the 4 baskets of cheer and of Kim's boxwood table decorations. Congratulations to Brad Lovejoy for winning the free membership for 2008! We would like to say "thank you" to Rusty Croft for stepping in this year as Santa. He did an awesome job of filling some very big shoes. And a heartfelt "Thank You" to Nick Boody who has been Santa for many years and had to step down this year due to travel. We Need Your Help Fundraising events continue for Geno Nardini's 14 year old daughter Laura, who is in critical condition. In these difficult times, it is heartwarming to see the generosity of the club members, which include:

WRG Member's Tip Practicing catch/release and safe handling techniques will ensure that the trophy fish you catch today will be enjoyed again by someone else tomorrow. How you handle the fish after landing affects it's survival after release. Here is a few suggestions to increase the chance of survival.
