March Newsletter 2016

March President’s Message The snow is gone and it looks like spring is teasing us to get out and enjoy the sun. Our monthly meeting was held this past week and the chairmen that were present reported on the progress of upgrades to the ranges. The indoor pistol range looks great and there were many positive comments on the heating system. Remember, if you use the heater, please put your $5 per hour cost in the box. This will help pay for the propane used. Also, be sure to dispose of your used targets in the trash to help keep this range clean. Daryn Acor is the chairman of the clubhouse. His committee has cleaned it up and it looks wonderful. The chairs and tables are stacked neatly and the carpets are vacuumed. Let’s help Daryn in keeping our clubhouse in good order. In regards to the sporting clays and the 5 stand building, they are going forward. Hopefully, the plans and estimates will be completed shortly. The additional traps have arrived and look great. A reminder to all trap and sporting clay users- You need to receive an orientation to obtain access to the equipment. There are several events coming up this summer and it may seem a long time away, please reserve on your calendars the following days- May 7th will be our annual Range and Highway Clean Up Day. With support of all members, this will not take long. September 17th will be our first Annual Membership Summer BBQ. I understand there will be a roasted pig. Many other events have been planned, such as our league and fun shoots during the summer months. In closing, I would like to thank all who have helped us meet our yearly goals. We have a wonderful gun club, and it is our members who help make it great! Jed Taylor President
