President's Message
August is gone and its already September 7th... Am I running behind schedule? Well... Yes! Short and sweet for this month. The October 15th Fall Dinner is fast approaching and ticket sales to date are not where we need to be. Next Monday at the September 12th Club meeting we will have tickets available. Bring you cash or check book and get your tickets. We need Club support to make this event a success. Tickets are also available On line through the website (LaGrangeHuntClub.org) or call myself or Eric Broud.
Trap Shoot, Sunday September 18th, open to all members and the public as well. Invite a friend and enjoy a fun time with fellow members. Turkey Shoot for the Prime CT3 Bow - at the 9/18 trap shoot we will hold a Turkey Shoot Style "Bow Shot" for your chance at an awesome bow (See details on the special page later in this newsletter)

Junior Membership
The Junior Members Fund will provide a sponsorship to help cover the camp fees for The Lake & Trails – Youth Hunting / Shooting Camp again in 2022. Our Junior Members President, Jace Walters himself has attended all four years of this camp, and plans on returning in 2022 as a Junior Instructor. Jace wants kids to go to this camp because it is a really good learning experience because you get to learn how to shoot many types of guns; including rifles, pistols, air guns, black powder and some archery items as well. You will also get the chance to throw axes, make a knife and even make primitive items. You will also learn about wildlife, how to trap, and even get your Ohio Boaters License and Hunter Safety Course if you need to. And most importantly, you get to hangout with other kids who like the outdoors like you do.
To qualify for the sponsorship you need to help out at a couple general memberhsip meetings and do a work party. Attend a general membership meeting and talk to the Junior Members President, Jace Walters for complete details and to sign up. If you would like to contact Jace email him at Recreation@JaceWalters.com
When you patronize supporters of JaceWaltersRecreation and the Junior Membership please remember to tell their management THANK YOU for their SUPPORT!

Archery Range News
Come spring, one of the first changes you will see will be in the 3D Archery range. More animals will be put out, and in a manner where they will not need to be removed in order to mow the grass. Future plans include creating a walking 3D course in order to help simulate hunting and tournament conditions. After that a slight redesign of the bag target range.

2023 Wild Game DinnerFor the 3rd consecutive year, we were forced to cancel our annual Wild Game Dinner. The first 2 years were covid-induced, and while covid was certainly a concern this year, the primary issue was the lack of donations of wild game, without which we certainly couldn’t have a Wild Game dinner. This event is our 2nd largest fundraiser every year
