           RUSHFORD LAKE CONSERVATION          CLUB NEWSLETTER  March 2011 
  

Here we are looking forward to a brand new season and the challenges it brings! The club is open Wednesday to Sunday at 5pm for members and their guests.  Those of you who enjoy warm weather, Spring is near!

            2010 was a very good year for the club.  Our membership has jumped to 510 members and we continue to have guests interested in joining.  The club welcomes two new Board Members, Warren Herdic and Carl Salzmann Jr.  The club extended their hours by introducing Tuesday’s and will re-open Tuesday’s starting in May. 

            In 2010, the club introduced The Queen of Hearts game.  Stop in and check it out.  The drawings are weekly on Wednesday’s at 7 pm.  The first Queen of Hearts winner was Jackie Hull winning $407.  The club also purchased a 42 inch flat screen tv for raffle.  Drawing is April 23rd. 

The 2010 year again allowed the club to make some much needed updates including new siding and trim, new windows, new wiring for the kitchen and new flat screen tv behind the bar. 

The 3D archery range will reopen June 1st. The cost will remain the same as last year - $4 for club members and $8 for their guests. Kids 16 and under are free with an adult member. A season pass is also available for members for $35.       

Remember the gun range, 3D archery range and our two stocked ponds are for your use.  Please remember the ponds are stocked for catch and release use only.  As members, you’re entitled to use them all.  The club is a great place to introduce your kids or grandkids to outdoor sports. If you do, take some pictures and we’ll put them on our website.

The Thanksgiving dinner was busier than ever.  The club would like to thank those of you who enjoy our dinner each year and those volunteers who helped make the event a memorable Holiday for others. 

Jack McMahon and his team of volunteers helped make the gun raffle a huge success.  A special thanks to our top ticket seller, Pat Burns, Daryle Piotrowski, and Jackie Hull for going the extra mile in ticket sales!  Keep watch for the next newsletter for upcoming information and details regarding the 2011 Gun Raffle.  We sold enough raffle tickets to add seven extra guns to the raffle! Winners included:  John Hackett, Tim Mego, Jeff LiPuma, Carl Salzmann Jr., Sean McMahon, Tom Olson, Chuck Wetzler, Carl Salzmann Sr., Mike Jackson, Lynn Pomeroy, Dale McIntyre, Dave Barber, Tricia Tietzein, Gary Capasso, Dale Wiedmann, Rick Ilecki, Daryle Piotrowski.
