To All members:

This is a very special year for us. We were incorporated in 1909, exactly 100 years ago. Who would have thought that the hopes and dreams of a few dedicated outdoorsmen would have survived 100 years and become the multi-faceted facility that we are all privileged to belong to today. It speaks well for the leadership over the years and the support of a membership with ever evolving interests. The willingness to expand our vision has allowed us to provide you with an outdoor recreational facility second to none in this area. Come and join us in our celebration of this very special event on June 14th. We will have guest speakers, and many events going on to keep you entertained and informed. You can feel proud to belong to a club that has twice won the prestigious “Outstanding Conservation Club in New York State” award. If you would like to help us plan and execute this very special event, and this very special year, contact any Officer or Director and you will be put in touch with the event planners. We would very much appreciate your inputs and your assistance to make this a memorable “once in a lifetime” event. If you are a Life, 25 or 50 year member, join us that day and be honored.
