SCI Northeast Wisconsin Chapter
By: Calvin Ort, President

          It appears as though summer is here! It’s hard to sit down & write this report after a long weekend of boating & fishing on the mighty Mississippi. Everyone appeared to be having a great time with temperatures in the 90’s - it was a boaters paradise! I had a great time fishing and reflecting during the mornings & being in a total rat race the rest of the day with the millions of boats churning up the water. Fishing was good but watching nature left far better memories of the weekend. The doe & her 2 fawns that I saw every morning drinking from the shore line, or the pair of Eagles with their young safe & sound way up in their huge nest in a big Cottonwood tree. These are just a few of the reasons I’m an outdoors person whether it be hunting, fishing or just observing of nature I wouldn’t have it any other way!

          On May 12, 2010 we had our annual meeting. I’m proud to announce that the following people have been elected to serve on our Board of Directors: Kevin Ott, Jean Siebers, Roberta Windus, Tom Zimmer, Mark Snyder, and Mark Jablonic. I thank all of you for volunteering your service to the chapter and I look forward to working with you in the upcoming years. I would like to give a special thank you to Tammy Jansen for her service as our secretary for the past 3 years. Tammy you did an excellent job and you will be missed dearly!!

          Friday August 20, 2010 will be our annual Game Feast dinner which will be held at Liberty Hall. We will have an outstanding menu which will consist of Elk, Bear, Pheasant, Bison, Boar, Alligator, and Sting Ray. There will be a live & silent auction, games and raffles along with free beer & soda after supper. The last few years we have held this event on Thursday and after several request we decided on trying it on a Friday evening. Tickets are $30 for adults & $15 for children. Come join us for a great evening of fun & entertainment.

          Last but not least this is the time of the year to get out that new gun or bow or even old reliable & start practicing and getting familiar with it. It’s never too soon to start practicing & getting prepared for the upcoming hunting seasons. Better yet find a youth to join you and teach the finer points to. Give some one else the opportunity to join in the shooting sports & possibly hunting. You never know – it could be one of the most rewarding things you have ever done! You possibly could have a new friend or hunting partner! Maybe for Life!! 

          Be Safe & Shoot Straight!
