Federation guest speakers were at the dinner meeting on 3/10/2026. A great presentation was given on what the Federation has to offer member clubs and thier members.

Ray Valk reminded WRGC members: "When members pay dues at WRGC, they are automatically members with the Federation." View the Federation Member Brochure with programs and contact information .
Also see the flyer for the Federation Youth Outdoor Expo and the (free) Federation Youth and Vet Fishing Charter.

Lend a Pole program for children's fishing was discussed. This is done via a fishing cabinet at local libraries and schools. Kids can 'borrow' poles for fishing (and get to keep the tackle box!).

Field to table: Go to the event for a day on how to process deer; cook venison and sausage - then have venison dinner! All are welcome to call, text, or email for questions or concerns.

BTW - Our club will get paid by the Federation if members show up to volunteer for upcoming events (honorarium). The Club can also get paid/grants for events our club creates and does for Vets or Kids. Natalie Buley is our rep for Federation and will answer any questions.

The Federation Trap league has been formed for club members. If interested, sign up at fscuc.org/trap.

Donald Bader covered Community outreach for Federation like the Food pantries. On the website is the legislative and lawsuit tracking. All info is available on website. It's important to take the time to look at what is going on. Ray covered renewing handgun permit (MUST be done every 3 years) and offered to help anyone who needed assistance. Don't wait till the last minute. If you are late, the sheriff will come to your house to take them away!! Make sure any co-owners are up-to-date with registration as well.

Voting is very important. Some clubs require members to vote. Federation will provide a service, if you give them out member roll, to advise who did or did not vote (NOT how they voted, just IF they voted).

Natalie: outdoor youth expo is coming up, it is free for all the kids. Kids are the future, get out and teach them the skills. ARC fishing day (ages 18-80). Fish stocking is done by Federation (Lippman park).

Ryan Bollin: check the website for any and all events you may be interested in. July 18th 2026 there will be a huge free event, all outdoor activities. Dunk tank! Lake Katrine Gun Club, any business that donates, there will be a laser light show and donators will be shown an hour before the show in laser lights.
