June 2010 Newsletter
Our “Thanks!” to the members that helped put the new metal roof on the shelter at the back of our yard (the one we use to cook under). At some point in the future, the main building is going to be a major job and expense, but the time is coming when we will need to decide on one more roof.
The Membership Committee interviewed several potential new members over the course of the past week. Most of these folks have been waiting a few years and are very enthusiastic about joining our Club. Hopefully, we will all benefit by knowing some more good people. Please remember when you first joined, and try to help these people along by welcoming them when you see a new face.
Last year we discussed putting a TV up on the patio – summer goes by so fast and the price of flatscreens have come down to the point where it made sense. Now you can sit outside and enjoy the weather while watching your favorite show or the news. Thanks to the members making the suggestion, and thanks to the Building Manager for taking the initative to install!
On the subject of the patio, there have been a few comments along the lines that “someone” needs to spend more time washing the tables and chairs. Well, just to be clear, we do not pay anyone for this type of work – it is voluntary. If you notice it needs to be done, please feel free to clean up…….”someone” will appreciate it!
The person(s) that removed the Fish and the Turkey mounts from the Backroom walls have returned them to the Club. Our best guess is that they were dropped at the backroom door on Saturday (Memorial Day week-end).
Apparently, they were not taken by an avid sportsman since they were not very well cared for. Unfortunately, what was likely some kind of joke is really grounds for membership termination.
Please come down and join us over the next few months at one or all of our Events….the Boat Blessing will be great (as usual) and we will have a band. July 24th is the Family Picnic this year; we hope to have a great turn out!

Queen of Hearts
The Queen of Hearts is in the Building. Starting on Tuesday, October 6th, at 8:00 p.m., and every Tuesday after, we will be raffling off a winning ticket and an opportunity for the lucky winner to pick an envelope from our game board, which may contain the Queen of Hearts. Every envelope (54) contains a card from a Poker Deck (52 cards suited & 2 jokers). Every card is worth $20.00, but, but, if you pick the envelope with the Queen of Hearts you win 60% of the Grand Prize Pool.
At 8:05 that evening, (and all weeks to follow) all tickets in the Drum will be discarded and a new raffle will start for the week to follow.
The weekly raffles will continue until a winner selects the Queen of Hearts. In the process the Grand Prize Pool continues to grow. The winner need not be present. We will pick an envelope for you.
The raffle tickets cost $1.00 each. The raffle will be held every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. and continue until the Queen of Hearts is drawn.
Be here at Bison City for the fun and excitement. Starting Tuesday, October 6th, 8:00 p.m. and every Tuesday to follow.
Tickets $1.00 – Questions – See Bill Hupkowicz.
