New Dropbox Available for Membership Renewals
To simplify the renewal process for our members, we have installed a new drop box. It is located on the wall of the utility room. When you approach the clubhouse door, look to your left, and you will see the slot just to the left of the utility room door. For those who prefer not to send their renewal through the mail, you can conveniently drop it off at the club.

Volunteers Are Needed
Great Swamp Fish and Game is doing quite well, overall. Our only downside is getting volunteers to come out and help. We are in need of volunteers for the kitchen, bingo, and mowing the grass/ trimming. Please contact Tony Kulp for the kitchen, Jim Leberknight for bingo and Earl for mowing the grass. Without volunteers to help the club, the board will be forced to contract outside help which, in return, will force us to raise your dues.

Cut Firewood!
If there is anyone interested in purchasing cut firewood from the club, please contact Walt Sinnwell at 215-939-1381 to make arrangements.
