Okay fellas, the meeting is this Thursday (10DEC) at the Berlin Middle School (Room 12) and we need some attendance if we are to move our Club forward. This is the month that officers are to be elected for 2016.
-
I need everyone who gets this message to talk to 2 or 3 others and let them know they are welcome to come to our meetings and get involved with some interest of theirs.
-
At the very least, let them know that our blog address and email address are on the back of their 2016 membership cards. These are alternate ways of staying in touch and/or contributing ideas.
-
I can use the main photo on our blog as an example of member contribution. Laci Landis sent me the image as an email attachment because she knew I was looking for a Fall scene to replace the summer image that had been posted for quite a while. Looks pretty good doesn't it?? Thanks again, Laci.
-
I am currently in search of a winter picture to post on or about 21DEC. I do not have a good winter scene looking out over the dam, and will consider any offerings you photographers will send. I would like to stay with the theme of "looking out over the dam" for now. See what you can do......
-
Come on--- we have some very nice facilities. Let's work with them!
-
See you at the metting.

New Signage on the Range
Please take the time to check out the new signs being put up around the range.
It is a slow process, but displaying the "Range Rules" is important.
We are waiting on some parts and pieces before the 200 yard range area can be addressed.
So, stay tuned and stay frosty when using the range.

Good Thing Scotty had His Camera ------
 |
| 1- Can you see them in the tree? |
-
Scotty was moving to get his camera as it flew out over the dam, and circled the dam once before taking the perch seen in the 4th image.
-
That is when Scotty pointed out the other, closer eagle, perched in a tree just across the dam from the 200 yard bench (Image 2). He was clicking away as this 2nd eagle launched out over the lake, circled the dam and took a perch next to its partner (Image 3).
-
I cannot say exactly how long we watched and took pics, but it was quite the event for the two of us. The pair finally took flight to the east, away from us, leaving us at the 200 yard bench with a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that being buzzed by a Bald Eagle is probably a once in a lifetime experience. Not just one, but a pair.........
-
I sure hope others get to see them!
 |
| 3- Does this help? |
 |
| 2- No words needed! |
 |
| 5- Different angle. |
 |
| 4- Nice perch. |

One of the items on the Agenda is the nomination of Club Officers. According to our by-laws, nominations are made at the November Meeting and voting will take place at the December Meeting. All are welcome to come and take part in the process. Also on the Agenda is the issue of fund raising which members have brought up.

A Hearty THANKS! -- to all Veterans
Unfortunately, this Blog does not get out there as far as I would like.
-
Especially in this instance where I would like to extend a sincere thanks to ALL veterans.
-
Thank you for your service and the sacrifices you made to serve our country.
-
A special thank you goes to our own members who are Vets.
-
I ask anyone reading this to thank a vet when you see them this month. And, keep all vets in your thoughts. We may not be able thank those who are gone, but taking the time to think of them, will keep their memory alive.

COMING.... in 2016!
"Do you love the outdoors, but can’t find time to enjoy it?
Are you tired of your typical weekend...errands, laundry, kids, cleaning, chores… the same old thing.
Have we got the Perfect Escape For You!
This is an opportunity to stretch your wings and try something new and exciting in a setting that encourages comfort and fun in the outdoors. It’s like a day camp for grown ups!
-
Grab your mom, sister, friend or co-worker, or grab all of them. Bring them to the Women in the Outdoors event for a Fun and Exciting day of learning and fellowship.
-
You don’t have to be a hunter to come to our event. This event is about learning new things and meeting new friends. Just come on out and try it. You will have the time of your life and a day with
the girls."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I could not think of a better way to announce this up-coming event. So, I took it chapter and verse from their 2015 brochure.
-
Plans are for the August 2016 NWTF Women in the Outdoors Conference to be held at our facilities. Grounds use was approved at our October Meeting.
-
Michelle Holt tells me that the 2016 event is still in the early planning stages, but I felt a brief mention at this point in time would be appropriate. Updates to the plans will be posted on this Blog as they become available. A special "Women in the Outdoors" page will be added to our Blog once the application for 2016 is finalized. Michelle indicated that she is targeting January 2016 for the application to be ready.
-
The Berlin Sportsmen's Assoc. is proud to be able to provide its facilities for this worthwhile event.
