But did you know the story behind that cougar? I interviewed Gerald Vaugh-Irving, Wally Kampen, Richard Green and former member, Doug Turner. The cougar was displayed in the window of the Silvertip Sports Bar on Baker St.(1976) When the owner, Earle, passed away, the family donated the cougar to our club. The Rod and Gun Club was broken into on, July 3, 2003, and was set on fire. Nearby, two girls were camping in a pup tent. The arsonists pushed the cougar in the girls tent to scare them, or to hide the cougar. But the arsonists were met by a clubbing from the girls flashlights! The girls were able to identify the culprits and the culprits were charged. Gerald Vaughn- Irving dating back to approximately 2007 Annette Smith 2019 Banquet

All has been corrected and now I am receiving messages at both the above addresses. Please make a point to use one of these two when contacting me for club business. I will be phasing out the FrancesMBrown@telus.net address in preparation for my move to Alberta. A member who has not renewed their membership by March 1/19, is no longer deemed a member. This will be the last newsletter that you will be receiving.
