In 1951 the new President, Harry Marling started to shape up the club
grounds. One thousand pines were planted on the west side of the rifle range to
be used later to beautify and landscape the property. Small game committee made
huge strides in establishing small game by planting certain shrubs, etc.
This year saw Multi- Lakes flourish socially; “Social Conservation” it was
called because it afforded the monies with which we could promote the many
conservation programs the club was sponsoring.
Happy with the new publication, the officers and board proceeded to fill it with
news of the many club functions and important official decisions they wished to
convey to the membership. Some of these were:
Setting up a new and efficient bookkeeping system and have it audited quarterly
by a professional auditing house.
Formation of a House and Grounds Committee Chairman and set up a set of house
and grounds rules to be posted in the club house and published in the Multi-Laker.
Membership closed after reaching the 800 limit and all future applications to be
acted upon in order received, when vacancies occur.
Fund-raising envelopes were installed by the treasurer, board permission, for
use in submitting results of fund raising projects.
Application for re-incorporation with the State Corporation and Security
Commission, necessary to perpetuate our club charter as a non—profit
organization.
