April Meeting Minutes
The April meeting was called to order
by President Steve Stortz and a motion
was made and passed to accept the minutes of the March meeting.
Members are always amazed at how
fast Marv can produce a fine working decoy. It’s so easy when you
know how!

New Business: - Frank Beery volunteered to purchase wood supplies at the
World Championship Show at Ocean
City , MD this April. Members are welcome to submit orders. Frank is attending
the show and will enter his decorative
Lesser Scaup in the Novice class. Bob
Plocinski is entering three songbirds ( 2 N.
Cardinals and a Y.H. Blackbird) in the
same show. Tom Flemming is entering 3
bird ―rig‖ of Long-tailed Ducks, plus a
cocktail L.T. hen.
Program: The May program will feature Marv Meyer showing us how he
paints his hunting decoys with oil paints.
Don’t be late for the program, because
you may miss something because it
doesn’t take Marv long to paint a decoy.
Marv’s programs are always a highlight.

April program: MDWCC Auction
Once again Marv Meyer performed the delicate duty of convincing MDWCC members
that they couldn’t live without whatever he
was auctioning at our annual Swap Meet/
Auction. Especially in the case of Dennis
Finden who seemed to think everything
looked good. As usual a number of members
took some new ―treasures‖ home with them.
Matt Gouette sold two nice Mallard hunting
decoys to be used this next fall. There was
something for everyone.
