Pond Officer’s Report
Alec Frankel reported that fishing has officially ended for the 2018 season. Anyone interested in trapping bait fish should contact him by email: alecfrankel@gmail.com. Make sure to put your name and contact details on the traps. Still be careful if using the docks as there are still some soft boards that need to be taken care of in the spring.
Ranger Master’s Report
Ron Lanigan reported that all is going well at the range. He feels content with a productive 2018 season behind him, and looks forward to starting additional programs in 2019, including one geared toward attracting a younger crowd. This led to a conversation about how to attract young people to the club, including a course on gun safety in the home, a series of articles in the Conway Daily Sun about hunting, fishing, and outdoor life in the MWV, and bring-a-youth to the range activities. Ron is open to ideas and discussions and is usually at the club on Wednesday mornings. Get out, shoot, and enjoy!
