It was hallowed ground, steeped with tradition, where bankers met gas station attendants on a windy day to enjoy perfection together-a club founded by sportsmen of Churchill County and the surrounding areas to hunt game and to protect and enhance wildlife for themselves and future generations."

We Want To Feature Your Kids in the FLYER !
Beginning this month, in each issue of the FLYER we will be featuring pictures of young waterfowl hunters caught in the act of having a good time in the field. Pictures can be submitted by anyone but we do need names of the people in the pictures and who took the picture so that proper credit can be given. Pictures of adults along with the young hunters in the pictures is quite alright.

Color or black and white photos may be sent to David K. Rice, Editor, The Flyer, 5081 West Albuquerque Road, Reno, NV 89511. They will be returned if you include your address. Also, those taking digital pictures may email them to: Thomascreek@worldnet.att.net. Sorry, we cannot use transparency slides. The deadline for pictures to be included in the next FLYER September 3, 2005. We appreciate any help you can give us to make this new venture a real success.
