NEXT MEETING
The next regular meeting will be held on Saturday, July 17th
2010 at 11 AM at the Altmar Hotel. AltmarN.Y.
PRESIDENT’S NOTE
We had a situation where a person applied for a family membership and wanted 4 stickers.
This application did not look right, so we investigated and found that the other
3 license plate numbers turned out to be his buddies! Not his family! We will not
tolerate this action! All parties will be suspended from the club if they are caught!
Steve
Many thanks to James Cronk of Mallory Lumber and Steel for the donation of 2 port

of $100. each. The tickets are part of the May newsletter. One of the newsletter
pages will include three tickets. You don’t have to purchase all three, but if you
would like to buy/sell the other two you are welcome to do so. We hope all members
will buy at least one ticket. All ticket holders will be responsible for mailing
in the stub and check for any tickets purchased. The raffle drawing will be held
at the Landowners Dinner on September 19, 2010.
Additional raffle tickets will be available at each meeting throughout the season
and at all Club events. The Chairperson for this raffle is Dorine Setter who can
be reached at 315-350-9609 with any questions.
Remember, if all members bought just one ticket the cost for printing and mailing
the newsletter would be covered for the year. We need your help to bring you all
the news you deserve.
