We will be holding an executive board meeting on Wed., Feb. 4, @ Thomaston Savings Bank @ 7:30p.m. If you have not paid your dues, this will be the last time to pay them. Note: There is a late fee on your dues form. To avoid this penalty, please pay promptly.

For everyone who has paid their dues, thank you! We will be giving out the new dues packet at the Feb. 25 membership meeting.

AT THE APRIL MEMBERSHIP MEETING IT WAS PASSED, THAT AT THE POND IN MORRIS THAT ONLY A CARD PAYING MEMBER CAN TAKE (5) FIVE FISH. THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU BRING YOUR WIFE, KIDS, GRAND-KIDS, OR YOUR GIRLFRIEND; YOU CAN ONLY TAKE (5) FIVE FISH TOTAL. AT O&G EVERYTHING STAYS THE SAME.

Please wear your membership button at all times while hunting or fishing on the club properties

(Morris & O & G) and also carry your ID membership card with you.

The membership voted to eliminate Leave of Absence. The people who are on the list now will be grand-fathered in. As of Wed's meeting no more leave of absence will be accepted or granted.

Someone turned the refrigerator temperature dial too cold at Bldg. 5 which caused the soda contents to freeze and the soda cans to burst. This made a major mess inside the refrigerator. The refrigerator has been cleaned.

DO NOT TOUCH THE SETTING ON THE REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER DIAL.

Also no dogs are to be running loose inside Bldg. 5 or at all ponds at O&G and Morris. If you bring your dog, it must be leashed. We have a dog training area that can be utilized in Morris.

**All club PERMITS issued for Deer or Turkey must be obtained at Membership Meetings Only . Per Executive Board.**

We want to extend a Thank You to Tom Butkus for making 2 picnic tables for the club. Nice job!

*****BE SURE THAT YOU CLEAN-UP & PUT ALL ITEMS IN THE PROPER PLACES WHEN YOU USE ANYTHING @ BLDG. 5! BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE! KEEP CLEAN FOR OTHER MEMBERS TO USE!*****

If you fish the Morris Pond, the club bought some grass eating CARP. If by any chance you hook one, please make sure that you return it to the pond alive. These fish will keep the algae from spreading. Someone has caught one and threw it on the side of the pond. We need to keep these fish alive and in the pond. Make sure you do not injure or kill any of these fish. It is very important that you follow this procedure with the CARP.

As you know your Fish and Game Chair and Co-Chair are Mike Masulli and Ken Miller. It has been brought to the board's attention that some of the fish that have been stocked are not 11 to 12 inches, plus or minus a half inch. Please measure the trout that you catch and let either one or both of the chairmen know if there are any discrepancies.
