2 From the XO: Happy New Year and I hope everyone had a good holiday and hunting season! There is no scheduled work day this month, but there is lots to do if you are looking for entertainment. The rifle/pistol range needs target backers. If I get to town, I ll get some. If one of you want a work credit, pick up several sheets of Luan (usually the store will cut in ¼ for you) and bring it to the range and give the receipt to Darryl or me. For even more fun, see John Yagla about cutting trees to improve the background for the skeet and trap fields. The 2006 Work Party Credit List is included in the newsletter. Contact me if you didn t get credit for work performed since the last scheduled work day. See you all at the dinner.
