New Business:
- Camp workday will be August 23rd. If anyone is interested in having dinner and a possible card game the night before please let me know. We may be able to organize this and help us get to know some of the new members. All members are expected to take part in workdays, please make every attempt to be here for this. If you cannot make this day please contact a board member to arrange to do something else for the camp when you can provide some time.
- 2008 Family Day: We need to decide if we are going to have a third annual family day this year. This has not been mentioned thus far and the time has come to start planning this. Please let us know your opinion. We also need someone to organize this if we do decide to have it this year.
- Some of the food plots are mowed again. Alexander Busch and I started doing this last Saturday. Unfortunately the Tractor broke down again and we had to stop because of the heat. We still need to have rocks, stumps etc., moved out of some food plots to prevent damaging the tractors when we do work in them.
- Lobster Fest this year will be November 8th. We will be strictly limited to a total of 80 lobsters this year. If you want your lobsters please order early. The last week before gun season opens I will allow everyone to order more then two lobsters for member on a first come first serve basis, until we reach our number. If you haven’t ordered by the Sunday noon, on opening weekend of gun season it will be too late as usual. The lobsters will be $7.50 each this year.
- Hunting season 2008: The next season is upon us and we hope to have another great year. Please remember safety and being respectful of others. Please be sure to use the hunting locater board. I will try to make a chart to track the harvest at work. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for this scoreboard.
- Camp Staples: Does the camp want to provide staples out of the treasury again this year as we normally would?
- Camp Blog: Mark Schubert has provided us with a great web sight which includes a link to the club’s BLOG page. Please feel free to leave your comments and ideas as you see fit. However, if there is a question that you would like a detailed answer to please be sure to let us know who you are so that we can respond directly to you. Thanks

Old Business:
- The Warehouser also known as Russellville property is cut. This should provided us with some excellent shooting lanes and more openings to hunt where we couldn’t before. I feel with this cleared and the other piece of property being thinned we will see a good harvest this year.
- Fence Installation: I am requesting a member to become the POC for erecting a fence where the property will be open to Van Buren road. You would be responsible for organizing this event and coordinating with the camp membership.
- Tractor Utilities. We have not had luck locating a new Bush Hog or Spreader for the tractor. Plans need to be made to replace this ASAP, any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. The equipment we have found has been far too expensive for what we would get. Someone knowing where to find a good used Bush Hog or Spreader would certainly help.
- Rifle Raffle Committee is Ragan Faler and James Westbury. A report is requested please.
- Membership attendance at each meeting is something difficult to count on. If you are not going to make a meeting please let Rick Moreau, Alex Busch or Mark Schubert know ahead of time. This will allow us to pre-plan meals better with less waste. This waste not only costs money to those responsible for the meal, but it also drives up the price of the meal to those that attend the meeting. Please be responsible.
- Membership drive is in effect and we have a few openings remaining. If you know someone thinking of joining their chances are narrowing.
- Land For Sale: We have successfully extended our lease for another year. We still need to look for property on which to put the camp property. Any help people can provide in locating a small piece of land for this would be greatly appreciated. With travel and work over the last couple months I have not been able to pursue this.
