Hello All,

 

       I have a few announcements, here they are: Tony Basile was voted in as Life Member at the last meeting. Tony has logged countless hours at the club and has been a member for 20 years. The contributions he has made for our club are too many to name. Tony has been an important and trusted member of the board of directors for 8 years. I hope you all congratulate Tony our newest life member!

 

Our next announcement is …We have a new stair lift for our members to get to the inside range. Thanks to Harold, Rocky, Peter, and Nick.

They installed it and it is ready for use. Harold found it for us and was able to purchase it from Dave Ackerbauer’s estate. Harold we appreciate your efforts.

 

       It is not permitted to shoot on the skeet range when skeet is closed.

 

Do not bring your own equipment and shoot, this could result in charges brought up on you and could result in an expelled membership.

 

       It is time to renew the club newsletter ads. Please contact me if you would like to keep your ad. The price is still $20.00 for the small size and $40.00 for the large.

 

       Our annual club raffle tickets are now out. This year they are $20.00, (who says prices don’t go down!) We are doing it a little different, back to basics. On an odd number day the prize is $300.00 on an even number day you have a choice of $300.00 in cash, $350.00 gift certificate from Lock, Stock and Barrel, or one of the 4 firearms on the back of the ticket. Please see me or Paul Christman for tickets. Remember this is our only fund raiser and it helps keep the club running without a dues increase. As stated before buy 1 and sell one we are done! The contest is still in. Sell 40 get free dues for 2013, the member that sells the most gets a cash prize of $300. 2nd $200 and 3rd  is $100.

 

       The newest members on the board of directors are Peter Tautznik and Nick Valachovic. Paul Christman is our new Vice President. We say goodbye and thank you to Art and Ken. We hope to see you both at the club!
