Save the Date: Annual Game Dinner 1/30/27
To the hunters in our club,
It's that time of year again when we are heading into the woods, fields and waterways to enjoy the common bond that brings us all together. Whether it's fishing or hunting, I wish everyone the best of luck this year, and above most, I hope for your safe return with a cooler filled with fish or your truck bed filled with your wild harvest.
With that being said, I would like to remind everyone that the next wild game supper is scheduled for Saturday, January 30, 2027 in the clubs function hall. If you should be successful this season it would be great if you could share a little bit of your harvest with the club for the game supper menu items. We will be accepting donations of Venison, Moose, Bear, Boar, Fish, Pheasant, Goose, Duck, etc, anything you can donate helps.
This wild game supper can't go on without your support, and as a reminder, you don't have to be a hunter to enjoy the event. This is a find raiser for your club and everyone's invited to attend, including your families, your friends, your co-workers, etc. We will announce when tickets go on sale, which is usually around the first or second week in December.
Any donations can be brought up to the club during open hours and the club steward can get access to the freezer in the lower kitchen. Or you can contact/text me at 508-371-5590 and I can make arrangements for you to drop off your donation.
|
Happy hunting, be safe and I hope to hear from you with a donation!
Andy
