2nd Qtr 2010 – Club Results
ByWe had an improvement for the April through June quarter of 2010. Our attendance was 89 people, which was our 4th best for this quarter, and was nine people ahead of last year’s attendance of 80. We also significantly beat what was our average for this quarter (56.86).
We had 10 events, which also was our 4th best for this quarter. We canceled a hog hunt due to a lack of game and postponed a chartered bay fishing trip, a non-chartered coastal fishing trip, and the Ducks Unlimited Fun Shoot (but added a sporting clays tournament and a student instructor/student sporting clays shoot) or we would have had 12 events this past quarter.
Our average number of attendees per event for this quarter was up very slightly from 8.89 in 2009 to 8.90 in 2010.
We had one man join the Club, 11 members renew their memberships, and six first time guests.
We had no supporting members or officers votes and one poll during this quarter.
