All Association Members:
Our Spring Gun Dinner will be here before we know it. We have a new firearms list as well as a delicious meal planned for you to enjoy.
Additionally, the Kids Fishing Derby raffle winner will be drawn at this event which features a 3 gun prize package. The proceeds from this drawing pays for the trout we stock for the Kids Fish for Free Day. Cost of the Gun Dinner tickets are $25.00. The Kids Fishing Derby tickets are $10.00 with only 500 sold for each drawing. And as always, you don’t need to be present to win.
With over 1000 combined members, I’m asking for your help to sell these tickets. While the annual dues we pay keep the doors open and the bills paid, it’s the events that enable us to maintain and improve our facilities, purchase supplies, insurance, and conduct other events. Just by buying or selling a single ticket, helps much more than you think. The future of our organization depends on all of us as members. So please consider contributing a little of your time, money, or presence. This way we all can enjoy everything the East Berlin Fish and Game has to offer.

Trout Stocking Schedule
Trout season is rapidly approaching – that means trout stocking dates get here first.
This year, trout stocking dates set for our pond are April 3rd and May 1st. Delivery truck arrival is set for
9 AM but in most cases the truck arrives early. The stocking effort is relatively short usually ending around
11 AM.
Please consider spending a morning with fellow Association members preparing our pond for this year’s season opener.

Fund Raising
The Association is looking for club members to form a fund raising committee. Ideally the committee would, at a minimum, consist of at least five (5) members. The proposed committee structure would be one (1) chairperson and four (4) members or possibly two (2) co-chairs and three (3) committee members. The more the merrier, as they say.
This is an opportunity where your participation will benefit the Association and earn you a seat at the Appreciation Dinner. If interested call or text Randal Walton at (717) 793-0352.

3D Shoots Need Your Help
Beginning in April of 2024, the 3D Shoot Committee is requesting anyone who can to assist in the “Winter Cleanup” effort on the 3D trail. This is not a difficult task, the entire job merely involves cleaning the winter debris that accumulated from storms. This is no more than what you would experience in your own yard.
Any time you can afford to help with the cleanup will be appreciated, your participation goes a long way.
Prior to each shoot, the 3D course must be set up and at the completion of each shoot torn down and placed in storage. This requires manpower.
On the Saturday before each shoot, beginning at 8:00 AM, the course setup begins. In most cases the setup is complete by 11:00 AM.
3D course setup days for this year:
April 27
May 26
June 23
July 28
August 25
Setup involves loading the trailer, following the trailer to the shooting station, carrying the target to the setup site and placing the target on the setup pins. Tear down is the same process in reverse.
If you enjoy the 3D course please consider coming out and helping with set up and tear down. The entire effort does not consume an inordinate amount of time and your help keeping this event running is greatly appreciated.
If you are able to provide any assistance for the spring cleanup (please bring chainsaw, trimmers, clippers, etc.) or you can assist with setup and/or tear down for the shoot events, please contact Bob Weaver (717-578-2931/[email protected]) for more details.

What happened???
In September of this year, our website host ceased to exist. When our host disappeared, so did our website… and everything with it.
Following up on that event, the Technology Committee, in conjunction with the Association Board of Directors decided they would bring you a revised, more functional website. One that offered an improved browsing experience, more information and above all, more functionality.
Please bear with us as we are continually upgrading our website. As this site is being reconstructed from scratch, this will take us considerable time.
Please check back frequently as this site will continue to develop as we keep news and events current.
The East Berlin Fish and Game Association Board of Directors and the Information Technology Committee thanks you for your patience, cooperation and support.
