JUNE GUEST SPEAKER At press time, no guest speaker had been arranged. If you have suggestions, in this regard, please contact Keith Kruk. NEW GATE WORK PARTY We’re planning to start at 9:00 AM. I’m also trying to scrounge some material. I’ll need 2 lengths of 1/2” rigid pipe, and misc. hardware for same. If you can help in this regard, please call me at (219) 663-3209 at your earliest convenience. Those of you in attendance will, of course, have first shot at obtaining a new gate card once the system is operational. This is a new system and will require a new gate card. I will set up a schedule when I will be available, at the club, to process new cards. These are proximity cards versus the swipe cards we now use. Your present card will no longer work to open the gates and doors once this system is up and running.

stealing fish. DNR will now be giving tickets to anyone on the property who is not a member and anyone taking fish from the property. "Without consent" is the charge, it is a $153.00 ticket. LCF&G is now on file with the local CO's, they know how to identify a member so be prepared to ID yourself as a member. If you see someone who is keeping fish or see anyone who is not a member please call the DNR tip line. 800-TIP-IDNR ( 800-847-4367 ) You don't have to give your name but let them know. They may not be able to come right out but sooner or later they will get them. We paid for those fish and the theft has to stop. Emergency numbers are posted in the window near the front gate. Thanks for your help |
