Just two more lunches this year! Shamrock next week. Well probably resume them in March or April. Any suggestions for additional places to meet?
Nov 14Shamrock
Dec 12CTs
For our lunches, we meet starting at 11:00 and eat at noon.
Shamrock, downtown Lake Tomahawk, 7235 Bradley Street (Hwy 47). http://www.shamrocklaketom.com/
CTs Deli, downtown Rhinelander, 17 N Brown St. http://cheftomsdeli.com/ We have the Community Room. Since this is a deli, you order your drinks and food at the counter, pick up your drinks, then they call your name when your food is ready and you get it from the food counter. It might be good if you place your order when you get there, so were not all ordering at the same time.
Several deaths recently.
Bill Hoppe was the forester/ranger at Rhinelander.
Bev Nimmer often attended our lunches in years past with her brother Dick, who worked at Woodruff.
Gary Scovel was the warden supervisor at Woodruff.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds all spearers interested in harvesting a lake sturgeon from Lake Winnebago during the 2024 sturgeon spearing season to purchase their license before Oct. 31, 2023.
While there are unlimited licenses available for Lake Winnebago, the Upriver Lakes fishery (lakes Poygan, Butte des Morts and Winneconne) is managed by a preference point system and lottery, limited to 500 permitted spearers. Applicants for an Upriver Lakes tag have already been authorized for the 2024 season and have until the start of the spearing season to purchase a license. Upriver tag applicant winners cannot also purchase a tag for Lake Winnebago.
Both residents and non-residents can purchase a license through the Go Wild system or at any license sales location. All license holders must be a minimum of 12 years old. Military personnel home on leave during the spearing season and youth who will turn 12 between Nov. 1, 2023 and the last day of the 2024 spearing season do not need to purchase their license before the Oct. 31 deadline.
