Reading of Minutes: Motion to accept the minutes by Kurt, second by Ted, motion carried. Treasurer’s Report: Motion to accept by Dona, second by Debbie, motion carried. Old Business: FISH COMMITTEE: Louie talked to the Fish Hatchery. Northern will cost about $5.00 per fish and Perch will be about same as last time. Fish Committee has decided to go with the larger Northern vs. smaller ones. There may be a slightly higher fee because of additional certification required by DNR. He also spoke with Laura about tagging the carp, she will tag the five if they fike net in Spring, (which has already been approved by FLILPRD and funded), if they don’t fike net, she’ll tag in Fall when they do the electro-shock. Turn the tags into a Board Member or Fish Contest Registrar. No Commercial Fishermen can participate. Motion by Dona , second by Kurt, motion carried Dona & Louie will create posters to put up when the carp are tagged and they will remind fishermen that it‘s illegal to return rough fish to the lake. Dona will make a press release for the Representative when this occurs. Dona reported that two people have applied and received license to commercial fish for carp, one is Kallenbach and the other is Doug Hunt who would fish with Bill Kamp. Motion by Dona, second by Ted, to continue the FLPO Fishing Contest, May through September, motion carried. PARADE OF HOMES: Lou reports it’s moving right along, there’s about 60 reservations so far. She’ll line up pontoons when it gets closer to the event. SPECIAL FRIENDS OUTING: Louie has contacted the two groups with the date and will let us know when he hears from them. Decided against having Klancy, it’s a very busy event as it is. PIG ROAST: Christine Winkelman who recently bought a place on Fox Lake has volunteered run the Kids Games for this years event. She will try to get a juggler, donated goldfish for a contest, fortune teller……and high school kids to volunteer to help run the games. She will look into these and more (maybe a bounce house) and return next meeting. Ed confirmed our caterer, “Boss Hog” from Posh Pig Catering will come on Friday to start roasting the 180# pig, plus pork shoulder, chicken and more! They serve and everything, all we need is a cashier. Will serve 12-3. Having barrel beer was brought up and Dona will check into it, along with having Miller/Bud print our posters, and get back to Ed/Deb so they can word them. Lou suggested we have time frames for each event, something like “FLPO Boss Hog Pig Roast” featuring: Nancy’s Ice Cream 11-5, Gambling 11-5, Music by Denmarc Classic Rock 1-5, Kids Tents 1-4, Sheepshead 11-?, Food 12-3, Grill 11-5 (Ted said burgers and brats), Bar 11-5, Cash Drawing at 5pm. This will be worded into our posters. Debbie and Ted will distribute them. Ted will order brats/dogs from Brownsville. GOLF OUTING: Debbie booked August 18, said it would cost $30 per person including cart/golf. Louie, Tom and Lou have offered to serve sandwiches.

It will be in the April newsletter, people can call Debbie with their RSVP by 5/15/07. Any Other Old Business: Dona reported on Fish ‘n Fun’s 7th Annual Ice Fishing Tourney which “netted” us $450! ($350 from entry fees and $100 from Jeff Vandezande). New Business: WEBSITE: It was discussed whether we’d like to join with Town of Fox Lake, Plant Committee and FLILPRD in a website. Costs total around $500 start up and about $9 monthly, would be split evenly. Motion by Kurt, second by Ted, motion carried. PONTOON RIDES FOR FUN FEST: Ed asked if anyone would give pontoon rides for the COC Fun Fest, maybe charge and split between the two…nobody really wants to do that, liability, already volunteer for two or more other events.
