Weekly Happenings ~ Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025
|
Greetings Templeton Fish and Game Members, Guests, and Community Members!
We hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends this past week! With mother nature dumping the first storm of the seaon on us yesterday, winter is definitely on its way! The pond is actively being drained at this time - please be mindful that the pond is NOT safe for any ICE activities at this time. With more fridgid temps coming up in the next week, please be aware the dam will be open for at least another week. Please remember throughout the winter to use caution when venturing out on the ice!
The Queen of Hearts is still alive at the Templeton Fish & Game Club - We pull the Queen every Friday at 7:00 sharp! The club opens at 5:00 so grab your friends and come down and enjoy some cheer and take a chance to win! The Queen of Hearts crew is always looking for a few more volunteers to put on their calendar rotation - if you are interested in volunteering please reach out to Shelby Cota - volunteer hours at the Queen count toward new membership quotas.
Line Dance with Teri on Tuesday nights has been very popular - come down and see what all the boot kicking fun is all about - beginner to advanced line dancers welcome! We have two great nights for you in December starting with our Annual Ugly Sweater Party featuring the music of Kyle & Matt Black on Saturday, December 13th and we will ring in 2026 on Wednesday, December 31st with live music from Neon Alley! Come ring in the New Year with us and bring your friends!
UPDATED IMPORTANT NOTICES TO ALL MEMBERS
2026 Membership Renewal Letters can be found on our Membership page to download a copy if you did not receive one in the mail. Membership dues are $75 and due by January 1st, 2026. Senior Members rates are $37.50 for any member who is 65 or older anytime in 2026. Payments received after 1/1/26 that do not include the $15 late fee will be returned. Members can visit the Membership page of our website for more details. Once dues have been paid, Membership Cards will be available for pickup behind the bar - cards will NOT be mailed. Questions about memberships can be sent to Jennifer O'Donnell, our Membership Secretary.
IMPORTANT CLUB PAYMENT UPDATE: Effective January 1st, 2026, PayPal will no longer be accepted for any type of club related business payments. After further review by our Board, the fees are considerable, and not worth the expense. All payments for taxes and annual dues must be sent in the form of a check or money order payable to Templeton Fish & Game Club. Cash will be accepted for payments, but is highly discouraged - thank you in advance for complying with this change.
IMPORTANT - The next monthly members meeting will be held Monday, January 28th starting at 6:30 sharp! There will NOT be a membership meeting in December (Happy Holidays). Come participate in your club! The pond draw down will begin on Sunday November 30th - the dam is generally left open for 10-11 days - any NEW work being done along the shoreline MUST have a permit! Once the draw down exposes the shoreline, camp owners are allowed to rake out the shoreline or do any repairs to existing docks or shoreline structures that already exists - this is included in our blanket permit from the DEP. Any camp owners, who plan to do any new work to the shoreline MUST have a permit! Please contact Eric Adamson for more information. The Lot Committee meetings will resume in April 2026! The club is also working on the construction of a new dock for the pond near the lower pavilion. Camps for sale are posted in the clubhouse and also on the Camps for Sale page of our website! Owners looking to publish their Camps for sale should contact Lynn Sayarath.
Camp owners who are selling their camps, please see the special notice posted on the Membership page of our website. Do you need to update your mailing address, email, or phone with the club? Please use our contact update form located on our website! You can find the form on our Member Forms page. Are you selling your camp? After posting the camp for sale at the Club, you can add a listing and photos to our "Camps for Sale" page on our website - please contact Lynn Sayarath bostonterrier97@comcast.net to add your camp details!
If you know someone not getting these Weekly Happenings, they can sign up to receive them by visiting the "Weekly Happenings Sign-Up" page on our website! You can also read an online version of the Weekly Happenings that will be posted every Wednesday afternoon on the homepage of our website after the emails are sent. Check out our website anytime you are looking for more information about the club!
Lastly, the club is open Tuesday 6-9 PM, Friday 5-9 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 1-4 PM (times may vary if there is an event at the club). Stop in and share some cheer!
Have a great week!
Cheers, The Email Lady, Lynn Sayarath |
