PRESIDENT’S COLUMNA lot of our members have just returned from ouryearly deer hunting trips and have spent some qualitytime up north. Either in thewoods actually hunting or justenjoying the time off. Justwatching the wildlife walk,crawl or fly by, or taking a nicenap in your blind or tree stand.It was also a good time to catchup with relatives & old friends,and hopefully meet some newones. I have spoken to anumber of people from the club& at work, have seen thepictures, and heard the stories of their trips &trophies. So far not one person, whether they got abig buck or saw nothing while hunting, said theydidn’t have a great time - I sure did.If you were successful in your fall hunt, pleasedonate some of your take to the club for our WildGame Dinner that is coming up. We had a great timeonce again on our pheasant hunt that Bubba andTerry put on. What a perfect day that was and onceagain many birds were put in the freezer for our WildGame Dinner.It is also election time around the club again.Although it got off to a rocky start I know that we didthe right thing by fixing it. Even though it wasspouses night, everyone took their time and we gotthrough it. I thank everyone for there honest effort tosort it out. Now I hope everyone stops by the cluband picks up your ballots. Please read theinstructions carefully so that no ballots have to be setaside because they were not filled out correctly. Iwould also like to thank everyone that is running foroffice at the club. It should be a labor of love to beable to serve this great club, and leave it better off forthe next group to serve our club.I know that I was truly blessed these past fouryears as Vice President and then as President, to haveworked with so many great people at Multi-Lakes.We were able to make some great improvements andheld some awesome events at the club. Thanks toEVERYONE at Multi-Lakes for all your efforts, andplease help keep this place the best club in the State.See you around the club!! ~ RussMULTI-LAKER DEADLINEDeadline for articles in the January 2012 Multi-Laker Magazineis Wednesday, December 21 st , 2011.NOTE: All copy must be electronically submitted and approved by the Editor.THE MULTI-LAKER(USPS) 350-060Published Monthly by theMulti-Lakes Conservation AssociationOffice Fax – (248) 363-8092Club Manager – Barry AndersonOffice Manager – Terry MartinCLUBHOUSE – (248) 363-9109Skeet, Trap & Sporting Clays Building – (248) 363-8811Indoor Range House – (248) 360-3965Member Michigan United Conservation ClubsMichigan Coalition for Responsible Gun OwnersPeriodicals Postage Paid at Walled Lake, MI 48390www.multilakes.comSubscription Rates:Members - $12.00 of the members Annual Dues is paidas a year’s subscription to The Multi-LakerNon-members - $15.00 per year payable in advance.2011 OFFICERSPRESIDENT………………... .… RUSS DEVRIENDT, (248) 624-5232VICE-PRESIDENT………….…CHARLEY STEVENS, (248) 542-4773TREASURER………………...…......…DAVE FISHER, (248) 668-0371RECORDING SECRETARY…….....CAL KITTINGER, (248) 354-4449MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY….........MARK GEIGER, (248) 681-67322011 BOARD OF DIRECTORSKen Behrens `11…………………………………....……(248) 669-2294Evan Lacy `11…………………...……………….………(248) 363-4586Marty Zaremba `11...…………………………….…...….(248) 476-3983Dave Chappel`12 .….…… Vice-Chairman……....……...(248) 363-1398Marshall Maybrier `12…….………………….….………(248) 867-5069Micky McCanham `12……………………..…….………(248) 366-6819Matt Philippart`13 ….…… Chairman …….…….………(313) 443-4777Terry Smart `13…………………………….....….………(586) 980-6013Mark Torigian`13…………………………………...……(734) 679-9874Dan Peltier – Past President ………………….…….……(248) 666-9418POSTMASTER: send address changes and notices of undeliveredcopies on form 3579 to:MULTI-LAKES CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION3860 Newton RoadCommerce Twp, MI 483822 The Multi-Laker is monthly publication of Multi-Lakes Conservation Association – Dave Leonard, Editor, D_Leonard@multilakes.com

First this is not to pass blameon anyone. I think our Board and Membership dida fine job getting it all worked out, and was fair toall involved. Now it’s up to us to get to the Club,pick-up a ballot, and vote. If the past holds true,less than 30% of us will vote - Pretty sad if youthink about it. That means the other 70% couldpick and elect their own Board and Officers. Wehave all heard of the silent majority well this is nottheir time. It’s our time to stand up and becounted and vote our choice. Last year there was atie for vice-president and we had to do a coin flip.So don’t think your vote does not count. They allcount.On to happy things; The very best to all for theChristmas Season and the coming New Year !!!Later, Dave:4

~ Hunt Photos ~Hi my name is Paige Myers from West Bloomfield.I am the daughter of member Tim Myers #1670,and I am 13 years old. I went up north hunting for thejunior hunt and I had a great opportunity to get a huge10 point buck. There was only 15 minutes left of daylight on the last day. As soon as I got a clear shot athim at 100 yards I shot, and he ran about 75 yards anddied. I got my 10 point up in Vanderbilt, MI on mygreat grandpa’s property with a .22-250 rifle.Letters to the Editor, and Hunt Photos should be e-mailed toD_Leonard@multilakes.comPrints and hand written letters can be dropped in my box at the club.Andcaught oncamera,aboutmidnighton Nov. 9Wow. I was not nearly as lucky as Paige,but I’m still very happy with this nice littlesix point. It was right at the end ofshooting time November 16 th on BiosBlanc Island. I had several doe around meand suddenly they all ran off. I figured thatwas it for the day, but just then another doe came trotting in & stopped with its head in front of a birchtree – that’s when I could see that “doe” has horns! I moved the sights to just behind the shoulder &squeezed. As usual the buck didn’t get to take another step after meeting with the 200 grain bulletfrom my old lever action Marlin chambered in .35 Remington. ~Dave Leonard #35410Meeting Night RaffleDecember 21 st Top Prizesare scheduled to be:1 st – Freezer2 nd – Coleman Camp Grill3 rd – Ten Piece Knife SetLicense # C25110Thank you for your support.We welcome any and all suggestions.Please call: Don Priebe(248) 363-0753Article 4 section 7Proposed By-Laws changeCurrent:Any member of the board who misses two (2)consecutive regular board meetings without anexcuse approved by the board, shall be automaticallysuspended from the board.
