Meetings held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday, Monthly at 8:00pm Calendar of Events
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 It's that time of year again. Please remember that the dues have been increased to $80.00. It's been many years since we've had an increase. We apologize for having to do this at this time, but everything from paper goods to utilities have increased dramatically. We held off as long as possible. If you have a hardship paying your dues this year, please contact someone from the membership committee. We'd rather work it out with you than loose a valuable member. President-Elect Mike Collins Describes His Goals for the 2007 Year:
Thanksgiving Dinner Over 104 dinners were served at the club on Thanksgiving Day. The dinner was turkey soup, traditional turkey, deep fried turkey, stuffing, potatoes, butternut squash, turnip, salad and rolls, and included Valet parking (great for a rainy day!). There were a lot of people who have joined us in the past, and more than a few were asking for President Smith who couldn't join us due to health reasons. Many thanks to all who helped preparing, cooking, serving, and cleaning up after the event. The food and company were great! We also would like to thank our contributors of food that reduced the cost to the club this year. Casella Waste Management Services donated 7 turkeys; George Payson donated a turkey, the squash and turnips were donated by our resident farmers, Eddie Grant and the Pratts. We also had pies donated by the Lookout Farm, that included, apple, blueberry and squash. And last but not least, George Robinson cheerfully drove the Senior Bus and brought about a dozen or so seniors to the club to enjoy dinner. At a time when we are trying to continue with our traditions and the belt is getting a bit tighter, it's a pleasure to know that we have people and companies that are willing to pitch in and make a holiday that could be very lonely for some, an enjoyable experience. It was a nice site seeing people mingling and sitting and talking for a couple of hours. The smiles and expressions on their faces are priceless. Lj's Tip Consider giving a fishing and/or hunting license as a Holiday gift to your favorite sportsperson. Lj's 3rd Stool at the Bar This is a great time of year to hang out at the club and listen to hunting stories. See if you can recognize these stories from the following punch lines:
In The Planning: VP (President after Jan. 1st) Mike Collins contacted Wildlife deer/moose project leader Bill Woytek about coming to the club and doing a presentation on the growing moose herd in the state. Bill is very knowledgeable of the deer and moose herds and is also an excellent speaker. Bill will also take questions on the deer herd after the moose presentation. We are shooting for the middle of February, but this may change. More information and the final date of the event will be posted at the clubhouse and on our website, woodvillerodandgun.com, as it becomes available. This will be open to all members and we will be extending invitations to area clubs and town officials.
