~ Work Bee ~ June 20 th ~

PRESIDENT’S COLUMN 

The May annual work bee was cancelled due to 

rain and was moved to the regular work bee on 

May 23 rd - and what a beautiful sunny day we had. 

There was a great turn out 

and everyone had a good 

time. The grounds looked 

great by the end of the day. 

Thanks to everyone who 

came out. 

We also finally got a 

couple of good Fridays in 

May to kick off the Classic 

Car Cruise. We have many 

new cars this year. I hope to 

see the Cruise keep growing and look forward to 

seeing many of our new members come out, enjoy 

the show and have dinner outside at the grill or 

come in for the Fish Fry. 

This past turkey season had many members 

traveling all around the state. From what I heard 

the ones who stayed in the southern part of state 

had more successes than the hunters who went 

north, although everyone had fun whether they 

bagged one or not. 

There will be many things to do at the club this 

June, starting with the 5 th annual Walleye 

tournament on June 5 th with Multi-Lakes, Windsor 

Sportsmen’s Club and the Oakland County 

Sportsmen’s Club all leaving out of the Toledo 

Beach Marina. They will then return to the club 

for the weigh in, and then the best part - a Walleye 

dinner and plaques to the winners. 

The club will be hosting the 5 th annual National 

Patrol Rifle Competition on Sunday June 6 th with 

set up on the 5 th . Much help is needed to put this 

event on and help set it up. 

There is also a Sporting Good's Swap Meet on 

Sunday June 6 th in the Club House Meeting Room. 

On June 11 th 12 th and 13 th , the Nineteenth 

Annual Summer Rendezvous will be held on the 

grounds and this is always a great time. 

With all the special events I look forward to 

seeing everyone around the club this June, not to 

mention all our regular events.

Epilogue: Multi-Lakes Conservation Association 

(MLCA) founded in 1942…. 

It can happen. Read your Multi-Laker financials. 

Look around at the empty businesses and buildings. 

When did you last shop at a K Mart or see a Farmer 

Jack? Some businesses have failed through no fault of 

their own. Others have held on to outdated standards 

from the past, not planning for tomorrow. Successful 

businesses plan ahead. Multi-Lakes, must meet the 

financial, and competitive challenges of today and the 

future. Change is hard & 2010 is a critical year. We 

must work together to improve and move ahead if we 

expect a future for our Club. Sincerely, ~Don Navigato 

~ Officer’s Corners ~ 

~ Membership Secretary ~ 

Well I got through my first Membership 

Initiation Meeting as your Membership 

Secretary on May 15 th . I have to say it was a 

learning experience, but also a very fun event. 

I can’t thank the chairpersons and officers enough for 

their help and guidance. We promoted 54 people from 

Conditional to Probationary status. This is a great start 

and I know that we can continue to grow this club with 

quality members. 

My goal is to have at least 3 Initiation meetings this 

year. The original intent was for 4 meetings, but I 

needed to wait until we passed the new By-Law in 

March. It was great to see that a lot of the Conditional 

members had attended functions and started to accrue 

hours. 

I know I am repeating myself, but with all the new 

members it is important that we remember to wear our 

name badge. I stressed that to the new Probationary 

members so we can get to know names and faces. 

Thanks again to everyone for making my experience 

as Membership Secretary a fun time. 

Don’t forget to sponsor at least one new member! 

Let’s make 2010 a banner year, ~ Mark Geiger 

~ Recording Secretary ~ 

Greetings to all: 

Welcome to all the new members joining 

our exceptional organization! Now that 

it’s your club too, come out and show it 

off to your friends and family – it’s here for you to 

enjoy, building friendships and memories. Veteran 

members – please welcome the newer members and 

share your knowledge and great experiences! 

Mark your calendars for… 

*National Patrol Rifle Conference is June 6 th – an 

incredible event and we can participate! 

*Beef Cookout is July 31 st – slow cooked top rounds, 

music, dancing and fun – an excellent way to spend a 

summer evening, only $10 per person. 

*Car Cruise/Fish Fry Fridays – Held every Friday 

night! Come out to see the classics and dine at the fish 

fry or grab something off the grill outside! 

Thanks to everyone who helps make this club what it is 

today and strive for a better tomorrow! 

Best wishes, ~ Tracey Griggs 

~ Treasurer ~ 

Happy Father’s Day to all of our 

dad’s, hope you enjoy your day. 

This month I am going to get into what 

kind of things we all can do to help out 

with the funds. The biggest thing any of us can do is 

find us more Members. Not just anybody but someone 

who will be of value to the Club and the Club will be of 

value to them. Next point out things that need repair 

before they become big things that need repair. Let us 

know if you see any waste that we can stop, lights left 

on, heat set to high, A/C set to low those kind of things 

to help us save money. 

Be fair about what we expect for free food and drink, 

don’t abuse the system. Come to the Work Bee’s and 

help us save money by doing repairs our selves. Take 

care of Club property so we don’t have to pay for 

things to be fixed. Return all Club equipment to its 

proper place, so we don’t pay to replace it. Help put on 

an event or assist with a standing committee to raise 

more money. Any and all of these items will help us 

survive the tough times we are going through. 

Later, ~ Dave;

Don then read the proposed reservation dates with one addition. 

Motion to approve dates: Marie Miller/Pete Cesaro Sr. Carried 

with 1 opposed. (Cal Kittinger) Discussion followed. Motion to 

conditionally approve the dates for Line Dancing pending 

Board Approval of that activity: Pete Cesaro Sr./Cal Kittinger 

President’s Report: Russ DeVriendt stated that the Annual 

Workbee was held off due to weather and the next regular 

workbee would become the annual. Motion to start a new 

committee for Dock & Lakefront with Ron Dubois as 

Chairman: Cal Kittinger/Chris Peltier Carried unopposed. 

Other Chairman changes: Fred Koby will take over Fish Fry, and 

Ron Davis will be removed from Cowboy Action Shooting. 

Looking for people to take over Frank Zoch’s chairmanships. 

Vice President’s Report: Don Navigato said that 46 members

out. Good Old Days will be on August 26 th , and a 

committee/volunteer meeting will be held on May 20 th . Quit

Membership Secretary: Mark Geiger has the next New Member

personally calling all of the 80 new members & their sponsors. 

There are already 10 people in the next group of applicants. 

Discussion followed. 

Treasurer: Dave Fisher stated that financially speaking we are 

behind where we were last year. Fundraising & Shooting 

activities are down, but the new membership procedures should 

help. Dave stressed the need for more teamwork and cooperation 

in these tough times. 

OLD BUSINESS 

Cal Kittinger talked about mining the ranges for lead as soon as 

possible. We are sitting on a lot of money. Discussion followed. 

ROUND TABLE 

Pete Cesaro Sr. – Summer Skeet & Trap League has started, but 

there is still time to join. The trap machine repair area in the pole 

barn was established with donated equipment & money, so there 

has been no cost to the club. Bud Hope has separated the lighting 

switches, so all fields do not have to be turned on to use just one. 

Marie Miller – Thanks to the Haunted Forest crew for such a 

good cleanup job this year, it made getting the outdoor archery 

range ready much easier. A search for the Archery plaques & 

trophies that were stored when the range was remodeled, proved 

to be a futile and occasionally insulting effort. Marie prowled 

around attics, closets, and other storage areas. When finally going 

to search the pole barn, she was challenged by someone who told 

her that the Archers never had any space in there. Rude actions & 

self interests are not what this club needs. Working together with 

respect will help make the club as great as it once was. If anyone 

knows where the missing items might be please contact Marie. 

Dave Mercieca – Wood splitting by the Rendezvous group was 

rained out with the last workbee, but will try again on May 23 rd . 

Clint Double – Rendezvous June 11, 12 & 13, come out to see us! 

Larry Cohorst – Reporting for Lyn Lash that she is planning a 

Sault St. Marie casino trip. Don Navigato requested that Lyn 

submit the dates for approval. 

Dave Mercier – Slingshots are wrapped up for the year and he & 

Mark Geiger will step down, with Jim Morphew & Charlie 

Stevens taking over as chairmen. 

Chris Peltier – On the subject of Slingshot, thanks you Marshal 

Maybrier who voluntarily showed up every Thursday to bartend. 

NEW BUSINESS 

Lucy Petrowski asked if there were any rules for starting new 

committees, events, or fundraisers? Dave Fisher responded that 

there is no official procedure, but things of that nature should be 

brought up before the Board. Discussion followed. 

Pete Cesaro Sr. inquired about the bus trip to Windsor 

Sportsman’s Club. Discussion followed. 

Motion to adjourn at 9:08pm Cal Kittinger/Chris Peltier. 

Carried unopposed. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Dave Leonard, Editor, The Multi-Laker 

D_Leonard@MultiLakes.com 

Pete Rinehart – Thanks to all who donated to Horticulture.

new conditional members since the last membership meeting, 

and more to come in. Discussion followed. 

TREASURER’s REPORT: 

Dave discussed the following: 

Shooting, social events, fundraising, food service & education 

income down from prior year; only thing up is facilities costs 

over $4.6k. Down $11.6k for the year, $28.7k down from 

same period last year. As B.O.D., we have to run the club as 

a business, and separate personal from the needs of the 

club. Need to get many more new members to increase 

membership, involvement, and volunteering. Been over ten 

years since we’ve increased dues, and want this as a last 

resort. Critical to increase income, decrease costs, and 

maintain and repair the overall property. 

Cal noted the motion to increase bar pours from 1.5 oz. to 

2 oz. was a 33% increase in cost. Dave stated that bar costs 

as well as others will need to be addressed in the near future, 

and there are facilities and functions in this club that are 

losing money. Finance Committee meeting soon, and then 

Dave intends to present the committee’s findings. 

Dave Fisher/Tracey Griggs moved to receive and file the 

Treasurer’s Report. WITHOUT OBJECTION 

Dave noted missed window to kill vegetation at S&T to 

mine the lead – we are sitting on a great investment. Dan 

plans to spray after N.P.R.C. shoot; spray again in the Fall, 

then lead can be recovered next summer. Discussion 

followed. 

Dave noted that a non-member got up and spoke at the 

last general membership meeting making incorrect 

allegations regarding a club raffle. Dave wanted to note that 

the way we do our raffles has been complemented by our 

inspectors; our records are accurate, up to date and in 

compliance with all the state requirements. Bingo next week 

will draw great participation due to the size of the jackpot. 

Need assistance with Bingo to meet and exceed the patrons 

needs. Need to review opening up the indoor ranges for just a 

few people to alleviate expense of opening. 

Dave Fisher/Cal Kittinger moved to approve Club Manager 

Barry Anderson’s vacation days as requested. WITHOUT 

OBJECTION

~ Hunt Photos ~ 

I had my pop-up blind set up in the 

middle of a 35 acre alfalfa field. Four 

big Tom's entered the field 250 yards 

away. The boss gobbled and displayed. 

A hen immediately yelped from the 

corner of the field. The Tom's headed 

in her direction. I yelped on my slate 

call and they turned toward my decoys. 

About 50 yards away they seemed to 

hang up however a little breeze made 

my jake decoy in half-strut, wiggle. 

They came charging in. The boss 

stopped and displayed 2 feet in front 

of my hen decoy. The 20 yard shot 

yielded a heavy bird with a 10" beard 

and wide 1 1/8" spurs.

Those Great Friday 

Nights at M.L.C.A.! 

By Tracey Griggs 

Looking for something fun, 

inexpensive and relaxing to do on a 

Friday night this summer? Then 

Multi-Lakes has your answer! Every 

Friday night our club offers to all 

who would like to join both a 

fantastic fish fry and our fabulous car 

cruise. 

The fish fry has been a frequented 

event for decades. It’s an all you can 

eat affair, offering not only baked 

and fried fish, but also broasted 

chicken, potatoes, salad bar, veggies 

and breads. 

Fred Koby is the chairman for the 

committee, working with six different 

crews on a rotating schedule. When 

chatting with Fred regarding the 

function, he commented that the fish 

fry has excellent attributes; it’s an 

opportunity to come to the club with 

your friends and family, plus it’s a 

great fundraiser for the club. Fred 

also wanted to thank Ken Behrens 

for his years of dedication, recently 

passing the chairmanship to Fred. 

Each crew has a crew leader, who 

trains and manages the other 

volunteers, covering the kitchen, 

clean up and cashiering duties. 

During the fish fry each week the 

Gun-A-Week drawing is pulled and 

the winner announced. 

The hours of the fish fry are 5:30 

PM to 8:30 PM, year round. Cost is 

$8 for a general ticket, seniors over 

62 years old are $7.50, and children 5 

– 12 years old are $5.50. Come on 

out and enjoy! 

16 

The car cruise is truly spectacular, 

for the patrons can truly take their 

time and behold the classics, chat 

with the owners, and swap car 

stories. 

This is the fourth year of our car 

cruise and it continues to grow in 

participation. Drivers are encouraged 

to bring out their cars and park them 

on our main field, in the center of the 

grounds. Rows upon rows of 

beautiful cars to be beheld by all 

guests. 

Each ‘cruiser’ gets a driver ticket 

upon entry, and each evening there 

are six prizes awarded through the 

driver raffle. Thanks to our local 

Auto Zone, Knight’s Auto, and 

Murray’s Auto Parts who have 

supported M.L.C.A. with prize 

donations! 

There is no admission charge for 

the drivers or the guests enjoying the 

show. Participants are not required to 

be members. Cruisers arrive 

throughout the afternoon and early 

evening, and the event wraps up 

generally around dusk. 

Skip Worden has been the 

chairman of the event since its 

inception, and you can see him out 

there running the event nearly every 

Friday. Skip commented that he 

loves getting the opportunity to show 

off the club, the cars and provide 

everyone with a great time. Skip also 

noted that if a person is looking for a 

burger rather than going into the fish 

fry for dinner, we do have a small 

grill area set up so folks can grab a 

bite outside as well. 

Skip is always looking for people 

to help staff the grill, and crews are 

assigned on a rotating schedule. If 

you haven’t seen this event, come out 

and enjoy the view! 

These two Friday night functions 

offer a full evening of fun and food. 

Many patrons stroll around and look 

at the cars, then grab a bite to eat at 

the fish fry or the outdoor grill, and 

then back out to look at the cars 

again to chat with the owners and 

other guests appreciating their 

beauty. 

Then, if you are looking for 

dessert, the Boy Scouts frequently 

sell ice cream within the fish fry. For 

members interested in volunteering 

to work the event, please contact the 

chairmen. For new members, this is 

an easy way to get two functions in 

one night and meet many club 

members participating in the events. 

All in all, it’s a wonderful way to 

spend an evening close to home and 

to enjoy your club with friends and
