The league is over and we are on siesta until January 5th, whew, sweet! Well I don’t know about you guys, but I didn’t see any Bambis on cars or trucks, which I’m sure made mom happy. Heck, I even had a deer hiding in my backyard enjoying the bird seed. See ya next year, ~ Carol The Fish of Multi-lakes – the Bluegill The Bluegill is our most common game fish and can be found just about anywhere there is freshwater. Colors range from dark blue or almost purple to yellow, with six to eight vertical bars on the sides and a red to orange belly. There is abroad round black flap on the back of the gill cover. The colors are very vivid in the males when they are spawning. Bluegill Spawn when water is over 65 degrees with a full moon. They will spawn every full moon from March to September. The male bluegills first arrive at the mating site and the make a dish-shaped spawning bed in shallow water. Females are generally drawn to larger male fish. After the female drops the eggs, the male chases her out of the nest and guards the eggs. A female bluegill can lay as many as 60,000 eggs. The male bluegill will guard the nest until the eggs hatch and the fry are able to swim – about 5 days. Bluegills are generally sexually mature at one year of age with a lifespan of 5-8 years. Bluegills eat anything they can get in their mouth, including insects, worms, small minnows and crayfish. They are attracted to light and will come to lights on docks at night to feed on insects attracted by the light. Bluegill will overcrowd a pond or small body of water unless thinned out by predators or fishermen. To have big bluegill you must keep the population low enough so they don't become overcrowded. The State of Michigan Master Angler record Bluegill weighted 2 ¾ pounds, was 13 ¾ inches long, and was caught in 1983 on a Mepps spinner in Vaughn Lake in Alcona county. The world record is 4 ¾ pounds and was caught in 1950. Most Bluegills will run from six to eight inches long as adults and weigh 1/4 to 1/2 pound.

I hope that I represented you and your thoughts to the board of directors. Our club has endured some trying times over the last 74 years and the club members have always come together in adversity to see the club through these times. The board has been working hard the last few months to cut expenses and try to get control of our costs. But, we are in another crisis and I’m asking all of you to come together as MULTI- LAKERS. We need to unify our club and not work as individual entities but as a whole. If you hear of another committee that needs help, call the chairman and volunteer some time. There are several committees needing help and the club could use the income generated by them. One in particular is Bingo. They could always use help on a Tuesday evening, even if you can only help for a couple of hours it would be great. My other concern is for our clubs spending. You will see that we have to tighten our belts on a few things until we can get back into financial stability. Please support your board in the decisions they are making to control spending and if you have ideas please present them to an officer or board member. We as Multi Lakers also need to promote our club and increase our membership. You can each sponsor 6 members per year. If every member to sponsored one person we would double our membership in a short period of time. Strong and numerous memberships are vital for our club. I have volunteered to help on a marketing committee, to put together a plan in the next 30 days to bring in new members. One problem I have seen is retaining these new members, and I would also like to ask all our members to not complain about a committee or action the board takes openly at the club. Let’s all try to talk about club activities positively. If you have a concern about a committee, talk to the chairman personally. Better yet, volunteer for their committee, participate in an event and see if working changes your view point. Here is a poster that I saw recently at a VFW Hall, it read: Do you Belong? Are you an active member? The kind that would be missed or are you just contented that your name is on the list? Do you attend the meetings and mingle with the flock? Or do you meet in private and criticize and knock? Do you take an active part to help the work along or are you satisfied to be the kind who just belongs? Do you work on committees –to this there is no trick- or just leave the work to just a few and talk about the clique? So come to meetings often and help with hand and heart. Don’t be just a member but take an active part. Think this over members you know what’s right from wrong, are you an ACTIVE MEMBER, OR do you just belong? Let’s all pull together to keep our great club going for another 100 years. Rich “Doc” Johnson #94-186 …22 years and counting ~ Editorial ~ One of the points that Doc makes above is that we all need to work together, despite what our personal differences may be, for the good of the Club as whole. I am reminded of this old cartoon: Junior Shotgun 1st, 2nd and 4th Wednesdays It seems as relevant to the Club today, as it did to our nation, when Benjamin Franklin first published it in his Pennsylvania Gazette, 9 May 1754.

Motion to waive the reading of December 9, 2015 Board meeting Minutes. (Sam Mullins) (John LaFave) Motion approved: Without exception. Purpose of special meeting was to combine and define thoughts and solutions to the financial issues facing the Club. Meeting called by consensus of more than five board members at the request of Jeff Parker. Dave Fisher urged action on low membership numbers and club expenses. The recent fire has severely limited our already stressed cash flow issues. Dave suggested that the new treasurer should form and head a finance committee. Jim Howie said he would have to ascertain what that might look like before he would agree. Jim listed 12 areas of income and expense and suggested we might need a per member assessment significantly higher than the $50.00 (Fifty) allowed for in the by-laws. Discussion followed. Jim Kirn continued the discussion the Board started last week about the cost of the Multi-Laker. As of the end of November the Club had spent $17,900 to produce and mail 880 copies monthly; total copies printed monthly was 950. Advertising income only offset this expense by $1,200. Jim suggested we include the financial statement in the on-line version so more members would agree to receive their copy on-line. Motion to eliminate mailing of printed Multi-Laker but make available printed copies to members who wanted them, but at cost. The Multi-Laker would be mailed free of charge to advertisers.
