PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
As my first column I would like to thank all the past officers
and board members for all your
hard work thru-out the year
and to welcome in the new
crew. Congratulations to all
who won. Our club needs
good minds to keep this club
going.
I want to thank all of you that
voted for me. I want to
especially thank Tony
Kaptopotis for his work this
past year - he has done a
tremendous job. I know I have
large shoes to fill and I wear
large shoes.
Workers appreciation dinner was a great night had by all. The
company, band and dinner was one of the best events I’ve
seen in a while at the club. You all work so hard for our club,
thank you.
Roger Sanford has stepped down as Bingo chairman. I would
like to thank him for all his service thru-out the years. He came
thru in a pinch, thank you. And to John LaFave for stepping
up, it’s a big job thanks John.
Andy Willetts and Steve Leo put on a Walleye dinner to raise
money for the bar room project. If you did not get your ticket
to this you missed a great meal, and the band played for free.
Andy auctioned off a fishing trip on his boat. They raised
around $1,500.00 for antler lights for the bar. The lights will
be a nice addition to the rustic room.
I can’t wait to start on the bar room project I would like to
thank Andy Willets and Steve Leo for all the work they put into
this project, it should be well worth the wait! The room has
needed a face lift for a long time. The trophy wall for members
will work out well. Maybe I will have a prop hanging up. Why
did I buy a boat anyway?
We have Big Buck Night in February. Have Jon Lash score
your or your kids monster or even a spike before the meeting.
Please don’t forget Wild Game Dinner - we couldn’t put this on
without your donations. It’s a good meal and a good night.
Tickets go on sale at the January meeting.

Dave Fisher offered a quick review of our finances stating
we were in better shape than last year; however, not yet
completely out of the woods. Several committees have
raised fees to keep in line with current operating cost and
suggested that other committees should review their fees
verses actual cost of staying open.
Barry Anderson asked that everyone remain on the lookout for wasted energy around the club and correct as
needed by turning off lights and lowering the heat when
possible.
Rich LaFave Sr. thanked all that have supported and
helped in making Can-Do what it is today.

a positive experience when possible.

approval of Sporting Clays made a Motion to approve
June 14, 2008 for hosting the SCTP Sporting Clays portion
of the SCTP State Shoot. Motion carried
NRA Grant request must be submitted and post marked
prior to April 1, 2008, be guided accordingly. Cal suggested
that we consider Dave Leonard as the senior or primary
editor of the Multi-Laker. Dave has done an excellent job
taking the paper into the electronic age and doing a great
job on the lay-out etc.
Dave Leonard if you get him the information early he does
not mind helping out on making up ads for your event.
Dave Elam called the chairs attention to the newspaper
Michigan Outdoor News and passed out several copies.
They will advertise our events at no charge plus send free
copies for distribution during the event(s).
Rich LaFave Sr. / Cal Kittinger: Motion to adjourn at
9:05PM. Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted by:
Cal Kittinger ~ (Acting) Recording Secretary
George Smith reminded everyone that when the bar is
using volunteer help that all of the tips go to help out on
various junior programs around the club, the
barmen/women do not get the money. Please continue to
tip appropriately.
Don Priebe stated he is using a new source for the printing
of the monthly raffle tickets, if anyone needs tickets printed
to see him.
Ed Rapin the Wild Game Dinner is falling in place, we may
have to buy a small amount of the exotic meat such as
buffalo.
Eric Manning indicated the need for additional Range
Officers and pointed out that training classes are
scheduled; check your Multi-Laker for time and dates.
Bill Lonsberry stated the early review of the P&L at the
ODR seems to be an improvement over last year, thanks
to all that supported the ODR. Bill pointed out that only a
few groups have permission to shoot metallic targets.
Please keep on the look-out for violators and report any
violations as needed. All shooting must take place at
designated areas. Bill also suggested that we approve the
calendar of events toward the end of the meeting; that way
allowing us more time for reviewing the dates requested.
Chet Dymon the years first Hunter’s Ed class is just around
the corner. Chet advised that the first class in normally
attended by about 40 students.
Frank Zoch Junior Rifle is about to restart after the holiday
break. If you have a junior interested, please come out and

Thanks to everyone for their help in the last year.
Good Old Days is going through some modifications this

appointed new chairpersons to the committee, and are considering
hosting the event on Saturday rather than the typical Sunday. We
are pursuing adding various events, including evening musical

TREASURER’S REPORT
Dave noted the following: The New Year’s Eve Celebration went
off famously. The dinner and entertainment were great as we all
welcomed in 2008 together. This year we offered a less formal
option, and reduced the price of tickets with the intent of breaking
even. The great news is that we actually made a profit of $560 plus
bar earnings. Thanks to everyone who helped; special mentions
going out to Nancy Willetts, Rich LaFave and Kenny Behrens for
putting the event and dinner together, as well as Ken and Cher Cole
for the musical entertainment they donated to the event. Also
thanks to Ron Mertes, Rich Taskey and Karen Paulson for their
help. Special thanks also go to Club Manager Barry Anderson, who
was quick to throw on an apron and do dish detail – thank you to
everyone who made this event a great success.
Dave then noted the following regarding financials: In
2006, the club took a loss of $64,000, and it was predicted that
2007 would end with a loss of $30,600. Dave expressed the good
news that the actual loss was only $4,460, and this improvement
over prediction was due primarily to the accepted price increases
and success in keeping costs down. Thanks to everyone who
helped us almost break even this year. The 2008 Budget was
6
reviewed and discussed by the officers and board, and with the
exception of the anticipated capital expenditures, a positive fiscal
year is anticipated.
Charley Stevens/Sam Mullins moved to accept the Treasurers
Report, as printed in the Multi-Laker. WITHOUT OBJECTION
MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY
Jim noted the following: Jim wished everyone a Happy New
Year, and then reviewed the Membership Recap Report. The
membership numbers are as follows: 21 Honorary, 6 LIFE, 21 Past
Presidents, 236 Regular, 10 Semi-Active, 254 Seniors, 356
Working and 57 Probationary. Club hours worked - 470 members
turned their cards in with hours on them in 2007. Total hours
worked for the club was 39,173 or 83.35 hours average per
member. This number is low as not everyone records all their work
participation. Good job to all those that helped out over the past
year.
Jim also reminded the membership to turn in address
changes when relocating. This will ensure The Multi-Laker and
MOOD Magazine will be sent to the correct address. Look for
future discussion on MUCC’s IAM Program. The website is doing
well. Sign up for the E-Laker and get your monthly magazine online
and IN COLOR for free.

Combat Pistol
We meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month and every Saturday from 6pm - 9pm. (Depending on if there is
an activity in Range House 1)
This type of shooting is good practice for anyone with a CPL; it trains you to load rapidly and shoot with your opposite
hand. You shoot a 60- round course of fire at 2 targets. You start each timed fire with the unloaded gun in the
holstered position.
First Target:
From 21 feet – you shoot 12 rounds in 20 seconds – with reload.
Then from 50 feet – you shoot 18 rounds in 90 seconds.
• 6 rounds kneeling
• 6 rounds gun in left hand - left side of barricade
• 6 rounds gun in right hand – right side of barricade
Second Target:
6 rounds in 12 seconds point shoulder
24 rounds in 2 minutes 45 seconds
• 6 rounds in sitting position
• 6 rounds in prone position
• 6 rounds left hand barricade
• 6 rounds right hand barricade
We would like for you to come out and try this course of fire. Many police departments run matches in which you can
win guns. These departments recognize Multi-Lakes as a learning facility in which they will allow you to shoot in
these matches.
If interested come out and visit us, we will be glad to explain the details to you.

An Outstanding Job on Sporting Clays,
Thanks to Brett Brophy & Shawn Cesaro (both nonmembers), for their countless hours of work on improving
the sporting clays course.
~ Pete Cesaro
Let’s Get to the Point
An 86-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly
check-up...
The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the 86year-old said, "Things are great and I've never felt better. I
now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child.
So what do you think about that Doc?"
The doctor considered his question for a minute and then
began to tell a story. "I have an older friend, much like you,
who is an avid hunter and never misses a season. One day
he was setting off to go hunting. In a bit of a hurry, he
accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun."
"As he neared a lake, he came across a very large beaver
sitting at the water's edge. He realized he'd left his gun at
home and so he couldn't shoot the animal. Out of habit he
raised his cane, aimed it at the beaver as if it were his favorite
hunting rifle and went 'bang, bang'."
"Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over
dead. Now, what do you think of that?" asked the doctor.
The 86-year-old said, "Logic would strongly suggest that
somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."
The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

Winter league is up & running, nice & smooth. It’s nice to see
the old familiar faces and quite a few new ones (newblood)
which is great. Even a couple of new babies from some of our
younger archers. We are getting ready for the tournaments
that are coming up. We are having a Tri-Co Shoot at our club
and Ron Opfer is going to have a few of the Jr. Archers

Good luck kids!

Death Notice
God Bless and may they rest in peace.
Our sincere sympathy to the Vreedland family on the passing of William A Vreeland on
January 2nd 2008, only a little more than a week after his wife of 52 years, Mary, on
December 23rd 2007. Bill’s Father, Clint, and his uncle, Harry, were both founding members
of MLCA. Uncle Harry was MLCA’s first President.
Death Notice
God Bless and may she rest in peace.
Our sincere sympathy to the SKrine family with the recent passing of Donna Skrine, on
January 13th 2008. An honorary member of MLCA, Donna was preceded in death by her
husband Jim, was a very active member here for about 25 years. Donna also continued to
work with one of our fish crews after the passing of her husband.
BAKED ZITI
- 1 pound dried Ziti pasta
- 3 ½ cups Quick Tomato Sauce (recipe follows)
- Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan, divided
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 pound fresh mozzarella, half cut into 1/2-inch cubes and half thinly sliced
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously, and boil the pasta until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Drain.
Toss the cooked pasta with the marinara sauce, cubed mozzarella, half the Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and
pepper flakes. Transfer the pasta to an oiled 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Cover the top of the pasta with the sliced
mozzarella, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Bake until lightly browned and hot - about 30 minutes. Serve
immediately.
Quick Tomato Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- Sprig fresh thyme
- Sprig fresh basil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ medium onion, diced (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1 pound sweet and or spicy Italian sausages, casing
removed and crumbled
- 3 ½ cups whole, peeled, canned tomatoes in puree, (one 28ounce can), roughly chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Cook the sausage until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, stirring, until lightly browned,
about 3 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and the herb sprigs and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered,
for 10 minutes.
Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in the salt and season with pepper, to taste. Use now or store covered in the
refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Yield: about 5 cups
Prep Time: 8 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

RECIPE SEARCH
If you or someone you know has a recipe that is outstanding, submit the recipe to me at the club. I'll go through them
and see what we can come up with. If we can get enough we could print a small book and sell it as a fundraiser. I have
many such books I've acquired from allover the country. I have a lot of recipes, some are truly mine, some I've adapted
from the original, and some are received over the years from friends and family. If published, your name, club number
and so on will be published with the recipe. So lets give it a try, what have we got to lose?
C-YA!

Howdy Folks,
Now that the dust has settled for the year,
we can tally up the results from the 2007
Blood Drives at Multi-Lakes. The November
11, 2007 Hunter Blood Drive collected 38
units of lifesaving blood, giving up to 114
hospital patients a chance to enjoy good
health.
The totals for the year for both MultiLakes and The Detroit Sportsman Congress
combined were 188 people who donated one
whole unit each of blood. Eighteen people
doubled their red cell donation by each
giving two units of blood, for a total of 36
units. Added together, 224 units were given
so that 672 people in area hospitals had a
chance to regain their lives once again.
God Bless You All!
Blood Drive Committee
P.S. Don’t forget the March Madness Blood
Drive on March 9th, 2008; 9 am to 3 pm.
Walk-ins always welcome.

Multi-Lakes Daily Raffle
The Daily Raffle Committee needs your help. This is how the raffle works- it is based on the Michigan
Lottery Daily 3 Evening number. For $10.00, you draw a number good for the entire month. We pay $300.00
to the winning number on Mondays and $100.00 on all of the other days. We also pay $25.00 if your number
is one over, or one under the daily winner. Basically, you have three chances a day, seven days a week for the
entire month. If the winning ticket has not been sold, we use the Michigan Daily 3 Mid-Day number to
determine the winner. Up until recently, we have been able to sell all 1000 tickets each month. However, over
the last few months, we have a number of unsold tickets. When you advertise three prizes a day, you must pay
three prizes a day, so our expenses are not changed. The lost income comes entirely from the profits. For
example, 50 unsold tickets per month = $500.00 per month, or $6000.00 per year in lost income.
What we need are more ticket sellers. If you sell 10 tickets, we will give you two hours time on your card.
Also, if you sell the daily winning number, you receive a check for 10%. Stop by and see me meeting night,
I’m out helping with the popcorn or call me if you have any questions.
If you don’t think you could sell any tickets, why not buy one. Where else can you get three chances a day,
seven days a week, for entire month for $10.00? You can buy a ticket at the bar, or see me meeting night.
