Well, it’s getting to be that time of year when seasons swing us to cooler temperatures. I trust, we all for some time at least, got to enjoy the warmer, sunny days of summer. For those of you whose acquaintance I have not made, my name is Harold Curtis. I am Secretary/Treasurer for the Ontario Steelheaders.
We would like to take this opportunity to let our membership know how our collective funds are being used.
- Dec. 12, 2010 – $ 2000 for work on the Traux Dam Fishway in Walkerton
- April 24, 2011 – $ 2000 for L.H.F.C. to help with the cost of rearing 2011-12 yearlings.
- July 4, 2011 – $3000 to L.H.F.C. to help with the cost of rearing enhanced fall-release smolt.
- Sept. 6, 2011 – $5000 towards new Maple Hill Dam Fishway.
In less than one year, we‟ve injected
$12,000 into fisheries enhancement projects. We also have had numerous smaller expenses we have incurred in the day to day operations of the Ontario Steelheaders.
I would also like to share with all of you folks a list of friends of the Ontario Steelheaders who have made donations to assist in our efforts:
- Canadian National Sportsmen’s Shows Ltd.
- Sauble Men’s Club
- United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. Local Union 785
- John Topp
- Strutin’ Tom’s Turkey Club of Walkerton
- John Campbell
- Hammond Power Solutions Inc.
- Sobey’s Milton
I personally, as well as the rest of our members would like to express our gratitude for the generosity shown to us by these groups and individuals. A special note of thanks, to the families and friends of Dave Bartholomew and Bertha Mills for the donations made to us in their memory.
I will continue to visit the post office and bank, and keep our books up to date. See you all out there sometime!
Regards,
Harold Curtis
Secretary/Treasurer Ontario Steelheaders
