Planning Team Update:
Our top priority has been a remake of
range 1, which has been the most utilized for events and member use over the years.
The next project will be upgrades to range 7. The planning team will be
soliciting input from our members and event directors as to how we may better
serve our customers (that means you). Watch for more later.
We are also considering a list of self directed work projects that
1or 2 members could do for work hours. Watch for this soon.
Comments From
Our Groundskeeper:
Please police the grounds after you
are finished shooting. If your targets cannot be placed in the trash barrels,
then please take them to the dumpster by the clubhouse.
Editor’s Comments:
Keep using your insect repellent.
Enjoy the new digs on range 1, and volunteer your time (work hours) to make our
club better.
Our lake is a great asset to our
club. I recently observed a family fishing and saw a little girl really
grinning when she caught a fish. We will keep lake upgrades on our planning to
do list.
