Joe M.: can SCGF become a charter member of OFAH? Doug responded that this will be addressed in New Business.
7. New Business:
>how do we get the “hunting” aspect of our club going again? Dan Andrews is the member to direct this question to.
TC: responded to Joe’s earlier question regarding charter membership in OFAH: if we are to be a charter member of OFAH, every member of SCGF has to also be a member of OFAH, and that is unrealistic since many of our members join in order to enter the members only derby or to get the discount on the yearly ramp pass.

1st place: Jason P. with a 6 lb. 8 oz. rainbow

There was a $200 pot with $79 going to Kids Day.

>50/50 draw JerryM: $30/$30
>the Sporting Club of Niagara lease space in our building for $400/year. JerryM suggested that we give them a break on their rent because of what they do for us (support Kids Day) and the community.
