AUGUST CLUB HUNT
Gary McNew will surprise us with a short program. This
will allow a long break time to enjoy our yearly ice cream
social and have time to chat and catch up with friends.
Thanks in advance to Gary Spiroch for volunteering to
stump us with an unusual “Mystery Item.”
A big thanks to the years that Cheryl Petenbrink kept
tabs on our club library. A new volunteer is needed. Please
contact one of the club officers if you are interested.
Mindy Spiroch has volunteered to help with the monthly
best finds. This is greatly appreciated by the hunt master.
Ben Smith will be hosting a planted hunt with prizes on
Saturday, August 18. Since the hunt field will be under the
bridge at Phil Foster Park - there will be plenty of shade.

start at 9 am. Please no pulse induction machines, coils larger
than 12" or competition baskets. If you plan on coming and
can't be at the meeting for the sign up sheet, then email me to

of Year will be tabulated and changes in second place
prizes.
