Lake County office, will be our guest speaker this month.

NEW GATE UPDATE
For those of you who haven’t picked up your new gate card yet, it’s ready and waiting
for you. You may pick up your card at any meeting/function or ANY DAY (w/ a few
exceptions; call first (219) 756-4220) between 10 AM and noon at the Dawg House Pub in
Merrillville. The Pub is located at the NE corner of U. S. 30 and Whitcomb, next to Aladdin
Pita. You must pick up your card in person in order to sign for it and a copy of the rules.
You may also pick up cards for relatives, friends or coworkers as long as you’re willing to
sign for them. This will allow me to dispense cards without having to shirk my
responsibilities of making sure the bar is ready to open while running back and forth to
the club and having to sit and wait for people to show up or call. It will also accommodate
those of you with odd days off.

While we’re at it...the new gate to the back is a sliding gate like the one to the front parking
lot. The main difference is there is no gate operator (motor) on the new gate.
You must slide the gate open and closed manually. The sign next to the card reader says
it all…”slide open”.  There is a push button inside the gate which is used to exit.

CLUB ELECTIONS FOR 2012
The election of officers and Board of Directors for calendar year 2012 will take place
at our December meeting (Dec. 7, 2011).
Gary Piskula and Don Shurlow are your election committee this year. See either of
them to put your name on the ballot; either in an office or on the Board of Directors.
We’re always looking for new blood and ideas. If that’s you...step up. The night of the
election, prior to the balloting, we will also accept nominations from the floor.

YOUTH DOVE HUNT
The youth dove hunt, sponsored by Lake County Fish and Game at Willow Slough,
was a huge success by all accounts. According to event coordinator, Don Jones, some
140 dove were shot by 23 novice hunters. A great thanks goes out to all who participated...
especially the mentors. Without you guys an event like this, introducing our youth the
sport of dove hunting, wouldn’t happen. Thank you!
GOOD SHOOTING, PEOPLE!

YOUTH HUNT @ THE CLUB
September 10th was the date of our 2nd youth hunt on the grounds. We had seven
kids turn out and five geese and four dove were taken that day.
The hunt, open to youth members only, was overseen by experienced, adult members.

WILD GAME DINNER 2012
March 24, 2012 is the date. We are in need of game donations for our dinner. While
you’re afield this season give us a thought and give Don Jones a call when you have
some game to donate. Tickets for the event, which remain $40 each, will go on sale at
our December meeting. Letters of introduction, for the purpose of soliciting donations
from the businesses you patronize, will be available as well.

    We have been having a problem with people sneaking onto the club property and
    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
