10/7/04 Club Meeting minutes

Eighteen men and six children (a record twenty four participants) had a great time at the 10/7/04 Club Meeting at Derrich Pollock's home.  The eighteen men also tied the most men that we have had with 12/16/93.  For the first time our menu featured grilled steaks.  Sides included Eddy Chance's famous beans, cornbread made by Jim Rumbo, corn on the cob, and four Marie Calendar's pies.  I, Randy Rowley, was the steak chef and led us in prayer for prayer requests that have been generated since the 8/12/04 Club Meeting.  The video "Whistling Wings V" and a DVD on deer hunting (I didn't catch the name because I was cooking) were shown.  The minutes from the Business Meeting are as follows:

• A discussion was held on Upcoming Event Details.
• A discussion was held on possibly organizing a late December FCS Hog Hunt around 12/29/04.  My son, Ryan, will be deployed to Iraq on around 1/5/05 so this will be our last chance to hunt together for at least a year.  Kelvin Cheung will also be flying in from his Army base in Kentucky and will hunt with us.  If we can pull this off we’ll either hunt with Jimmy Cohenour near Blessing or Terry Haun near Victoria and Goliad.  Jimmy charges $125 plus $1/pound for every pound above 100.  Terry charges $100/hunter/day (he went up $25/day).  If you’re interested in this hunt please let me know. 
• A discussion was held on possible events for 2005.
• A reminder was made that the new FCS caps or T-shirts are available as a new members and renewing members membership benefit and are available for sale to FCS members.  See the Apparel page for current inventories.
