beginning of January, please make sure to contact the
Montmorency Township office. The office phone number
is: (989) 742 – 3619. Quite often when members move to
a new home, they forget to contact the Montmorency
Township Treasurer to let he/she know their address
change. Members should always change their mailing
address with both CCR and the Montmorency Township
Treasurer. CCR offers many easy avenues to change your
personal information. You may contact us by phone, email
or login to the website and change your information
electronically.
During the month of December, the Ranch House office
will be closed on the weekends. Members and their
guests needing snowmobile and vehicle stickers will need
to contact the office during the weekdays. Snowmobile
stickers are currently available for 2019-2020 riding season.
If you get these stickers now, you will not have to worry
about it later when you are able to find time to ride.
Just a reminder to all members that all artificial deer blinds
must be removed prior to March 1 st . All members should
have ample opportunity to remove these. The hunting
area will remain open for all of December’s hunting
seasons. CCR’s trails will remain open and will not be
closed for grooming purposes, unless the depth of snow
would not allow vehicles to travel on them. After January
1, plan on having to get your blinds via snowmobile.
Please do not depend on a “pass” on this rule. I ask you
to plan accordingly to retrieve these blinds prior to March
1, 2020.
Since I started my official GM position in September, it
has been a fun ride. I would like to thank the membership,
the Team Members, and Board of Directors for all your
support. I would like to thank Nancy Thurston and Fred
Calabro as they depart their directorship term. I welcome
and look forward to working with Nick Schulz and Bob
Delecki for the upcoming three years. Your CCR Board
of Directors work very hard to keep CCR great and I
appreciate all the hard work they put in throughout the
years.
As I finish this message, I offer one final though for CCR’s
membership this month. During my travel into work
the other day and while listening to Big D and Bubba on
the radio, they received a phone call from an individual
whose only purpose was to call and thank them for what
they do. The hosts of the show were very appreciative
and told the caller that she had made their day. Big D
and Bubba stated that most of the communication they
have with their listeners were purely complaints or
disagreements. As we leave the season of giving thanks
and are moving towards the season of giving and being
humble, I ask all of you to say “Thank You” to our great
Team Members here at CCR. While we do have many
members that say thank you to our Team, we do have
those that we only hear from when there is a complaint
or issue. Even I find myself becoming complacent, and
sometimes don’t take the time to tell those that I appreciate
thank you. As I challenge myself to do this more, I ask
you to please thank our great Team Members the next
time you see them. You never know when that simple
“Thank You” can change someone’s day!
From the Rogers Family to you, we wish every member a
Merry Christmas. I hope you all enjoy your time at CCR
for the month of December.
December CCR Shooters Corner
As the November deer season winds down, we have to congratulate those successful hunters that connected with
their archery and firearms up to now. With the muzzle loading season and archery season starting back up in
December we wish everyone good luck for the later part of the year.
Great thanks to those that volunteered to help CCR Ranch members at the rifle range on sight-in days. Those
members that showed up to check their zeros on rifles and shotguns were very generous in donating money for
range improvements. The Shooting Sports Committee would like to encourage the donation of all empty brass
including expended rimfire cartridges also. There are receptacles provided to dispose of the empty brass within
the shooting houses. These donated shells are then turned in for their scrap value and those monies are plowed
right back into improvements on all the shooting ranges. We will accept any donation amount thru the Ranch
office at any time to be directed to range improvement. We hope to make some additional improvements this
coming year.
The archery sub-committee is looking for volunteers to help them on their work bee tentatively scheduled for May
2nd., 2020. If you are interested in helping them to keep improving our 1st. Class archery ranges please contact the
Ranch and ask them to forward your name, phone, and email address to the appropriate committee chairmen.
The Shooting Range sub-committee is also planning a general work bee with several projects tentatively on May
16th., 2020. If you are interested in helping out improving any of the ranges please contact the Ranch House and
ask them to forward your name, phone, and email address to the appropriate committee chairmen.
Even if you can’t commit to a full day, a few hours volunteering would be appreciated. It a good time to bounce
ideas off the other members in what improvements might benefit all members of the Ranch.
