 Membership Renewal

It’s time to start thinking about renewing your club membership for 2013. Club dues for annual members will be $100. The $10 land fee applies to all members as does the current work hour structure of 10 hours. Un-served work hours are $10 per hour. For example: an annual member with no work hours, the fee would be $210. An Associate Life Member with no work hours would be $110 and so forth. Please return your 2012 card after November 1st with payment to:

Chillicothe Sportsmen’s Club

P.O. Box 13

Chillicothe, IL 61523

Note:

Our small dues increase for 2013 is to bring our structure in line with other shooting clubs in Illinois, and to fund some much needed improvements to our ranges.

Please do not return your key by mail. They can be deposited in the club house mail box.

President’s Corner:

Throughout the history of the Chillicothe Sportsmen's Club, people have donated their time, their skills, their  hearts, minds and souls in order that the Club might grow into what it has become today: a successful organization where the Spirit of America still thrives.   During my years of association with the Club, I have enjoyed the pleasure of meeting a variety of first-rate individuals and of having made new friends.  I've seen the level of cooperation between our numerous organizations grow and our commitment to the Second Amendment enhanced to serve more and more people.  I often receive compliments about the Club and each one reflects the dedication that we all share, both overtly and behind the scenes.  I am honored to be part of the CSC, to have been granted the privilege of serving on the Board of Directors and as its president. Because of the dedicated, selfless efforts of so many people, we have become one of the finest organizations of its kind in the state and I see a bright future ahead.

Planning Committee Update:

As part of our strategy we had our indoor range ventilation evaluated on October 12 by Bill Provencher of Carey’s Heating and Air Conditioning in Tinley Park, Illinois. Bill is acknowledged as one of the foremost experts on indoor range ventilation in the country. He pronounced our range safe to use by our members. He pointed out some minor recommended improvements that we will pursue. The  thing to remember is that main lead hazard is due to ingestion and not inhalation. On exiting the range please wash your hands and face. Also per the rules, no eating, drinking, or smoking while shooting. Any questions contact Bob Bjerke.
