President’s Message:
Happy New Year and I hope your holidays
went well. It has been two years since I last wrote a Fetch. I would
like to start off this new term as President of Lone Star by saying
Thanks to the past Lone Star Board, for everything the four of them have
done over the past two years. Seth, Bobby, Sarah and Carl thanks for all
your hard work keeping the club’s activities fun and informative for us
all.
Lone Star had our
Christmas Party last month. I would like to take a moment and thank Dana
Buckley & Meghan Miller for planning the party at Café Amore. This was
the first time in many years that the club had the party at a restaurant.
The turnout was great and everyone had a Wonderful time.
Duck season is in
full force. This year we have had unusually cold weather during duck
season. It has been a good year for us duck hunters with plenty of water
and plenty of ducks in Texas.
The Club Meeting
will be held at Spring Creek BBQ on Thursday January 21st. At this
meeting we will be talking about Lone Star’s hunt test that will be held
on March 20th & 21st at the “Fish Camp” in Royse
City, TX. The location of the test is about 30 minutes from Dallas in
hopes that club members that are working or running dogs have the option
to stay at home if they like. The “Fish Camp” is a restaurant that is on
the grounds of the test. This will be nice as participants will be able
to have an assortment of food choices to choose from for Lunch on Saturday
and Sunday. There are still plenty of positions to be filled. Please
remember to let me know if there is anything you would like to do at the
Hunt Test. We will not turn anyone away that wants to help. Kevin
Buckley is heading up our Raffle this year so if there is anything you
have or have any ideas I know he would like to hear them. Contact Kevin
at
topdog@tx.rr.com .
See you at the line,
Kyle
