My Apologies

Duane Cole has been very instrumental in making this happen for us. Duane is the Chair of the Trout Stocking Committee. Thank you Duane for making this possible for MRC.

Chuck Parker gave a presentation on the many bills being presented before our lawmakers in Albany. Many of the bills do not help the sportsmen/sportswomen in this state.

It is my opinion that this bill has the potential to be misused by law enforcement. Other bills being presented include the schools in our state removing all shooting sports for the schools. These are just two of the examples that were presented. For further information please see the Federation Website for links and news. The Grassroots Newsletter has some good information regarding what is going on with the DEC regarding hunting and fishing in this state.

Change of Address: If you have a change of address, phone number, or email please let the club know. You can contact the newsletter editor Shawn Allen or the Financial Secretary Rachael Pitkin. We have been having problems with being able to contact people

 

FEDERATION NEWS: Chuck Parker gave a presentation on the many bills being presented before our law makers in Albany. Many of the bills do not help the sportsmen/sportswomen in this state. Chuck made it clear that we as sports people need to contact our representatives to make our voices heard. As an example, the Red Flag bill went through the legislature in about 9 days. It is my opinion that this bill has the potential to be misused by law enforcement. Other bills being presented include the schools in our state removing all shooting sports for the schools. These are just two of the examples that were presented. For further information please see the Federation Website for links and news. The Grassroots Newsletter has some good information regarding what is going on with the DEC regarding hunting and fishing in this state.

 

FEDERATION DINNER: Oswego County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs is holding their Annual Banquet on April 6th at Greenview Country Club, 20 Whig Hill Rd., West Monroe, NY.  Social hour begins at 4:30pm, with a Prime rib dinner following at 6:00 pm.  Tickets are $25.00 per adult, $12.00 per child 12 and under.
