· The SPY’s hold regular monthly membership meetings on the second Tuesday of the month at the Sunfield District Library meeting room. They start at 7 PM. Please note that there is no regular membership meeting held in January due to the Annual Meeting of the Membership.
· The SPY’s 25th annual Wild Game Dinner / Sportsman’s Night is coming up on Saturday, February 1st. Event Chairman Pete Weller has indicated that tickets will be available soon. They will be $30 each, and there will only be 200 available. Smoke’n Pig is catering the main meal this year. There will also be fish and gator.
Once again, there will be many, many great prizes this year, as well as a lot a number of innovations that should make this year’s Wild Game Dinner a rather special extravaganza!
· Our Texas Hold ‘Em chairman Wendel Peabody reports that our first Texas Hold ‘Em event of 2020 will take place March 1st. thru the 3rd. (That’s a Sunday; Monday; and Tuesday) Please mark your calendars and think about helping out for a shift. Details will follow in the weeks ahead.
We are happy to report that the Legislature recently changed some of the rules involving Hold ‘Ems and we no longer need three people per shift. We will be able to go back to the original two person format.
