Overdue Dues Letters
Letters have been sent to members who have failed to pay their 2004 dues and penalty assessments to the organization.  Any member who has received this letter and has failed to respond by the April 7th membership meeting will be removed from the membership.  A list of removed members will be published with the April newsletter.
                   Member’s Only Fishing Derby
          The annual pre-season Member's Fishing Derby will be held on Saturday April 3rd beginning at 8:00 am.  We are still looking for a couple of volunteers to prepare breakfast from approximately 6:30 til 7:30.  Fishing licenses are required and a catch limit of 5 trout will be in effect.
          Youth Fishing Derby In honor of Ray Salsbury
The Kid's Fishing Derby (May 16th) will be accepting donations (monetary or otherwise) at the next couple of meetings.  Any monies received will be used to offset the cost of purchasing some token larger fish (app $300.00 needed), prizes, food and beverages for the kids.
                       Spring Turkey Permits
Spring Turkey Permits for all properties will be available at the April 7th membership meeting.  If you need permits for the Union properties you must see Ron Bodach at this meeting so that he will have sufficient time to get them back to you before opening day.
                    Spring Event – Pig Roast
Our annual spring event will be held on Sunday June 6th at the club grounds in Colchester.  Chris Toce  is the chairman of this event.  Tickets will be $25.00 and the menu will include Roast Pig & Roast Sirloin as well as a variety of fixin’s.  Worker sign-up sheets will be available at the monthly membership meetings or by calling Chris at (860) 667-7773.  More info will follow at the membership meetings and in future newsletters.
               Buy / Sell / Return Ticket Policy
    At the April 7, 1999 membership meeting a motion was made by Steve Cyr on behalf of the Operating Procedures committee and seconded by Mark Norton.  The motion was passed by a vote of the members present.   The committee presented the following recommendation for limits and penalties for turning in tickets late or not at all.

All tickets must be turned in by the date of the event.  Members who have not turned in tickets after 30 days will be charged for those tickets.  If tickets are unpaid 30 days after being notified, the member will have all membership privileges suspended.

NOTE:  This policy applies to both function and raffle tickets.

In Addition:
A list of members who have failed to return tickets within 30 days will be published in the next monthly Newsletter as notification.  Ticket returns will no longer be accepted with the following years annual dues payment but the monetary assessment will be applied.
