The Executive and Membership of the Nanaimo and District Fish & Game Protective Assn. are pleased to welcome John and Susan Van Lieshout to our organization. John was chosen from a number of applicants to be our new Property Manager/Caretaker and we're looking forward to a long and pleasant relationship with the two of them. John has a military background and has knowledge of both firearms and security issues and I'm sure that he will be a valuable addition to the club. I hope you all take the opportunity to introduce yourselves to John and Susan and make them feel welcome in their new home.
