February 2007 Newsletter

Mike Demick, Idaho Fish and Game, gave a presentation on the IF&G budget at the January club meeting and asked that the club support efforts to increase licensing fees to avoid a cut in services.

The club is down to 18 Range Officers from last years 31. PLEASE ! We need your help, even if it is only once a month. Any time the range vehicle is used at least 2 Range Officers are needed (one to run the machine and one to run the counter); one can not do both. Please contact Dean Narramore at 509-758-3279 if you can help. Thanks.

From President Rick Brigham: The Range Officers Appreciation Dinner was held on January 20 at Tomato Brothers in Clarkston with twenty three people in attendance. A fine time was enjoyed by all. President Brigham awarded several Certificates of Appreciation, as follows:

Congratulation to all award recipients – you earned it and deserve it!!
