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!
Cal
I look forward to seeing you on August 20th at Liberty
Hall in Kimberly, WI for our annual Wild Game
Feast and Membership Drive.
