President’s Message

(April, 2013)

If you did not pick up your new badge at the club, you should have by now received it in the mail. If you did not receive your badge, please contact John Bailey at 815-520-2888. New members with temporary badges will have to complete the required signature signoff process prior to being issued a permanent badge.

Nothing new to report on the handgun range at this time. We are still in the process of getting bids, formulating range design, and safety procedures. If you have any comments or questions, please contact the committee chairman, Greg Baylander at 815-494-7321or email him gregbaylander@hotmail.com.

Spring cleanup day is May 4 from 9 to noon. Your help would be appreciated. Bring out your rakes, shovels, trimmer, etc. Lunch will be provided.

The low house machine on skeet field 2 has been breaking an inordinate amount of birds over the last few months. It has been worked on several times. As of now the machine works best when it is half full of birds. Therefore, only fill this machine about half full until a permanent fix is found.

The registered Silver Dollar Skeet Shoot scheduled for May 31 thru June 2 has been cancelled.

Club Projects

• Second coat of paint on 3 of the skeet houses      (one painted last year) – approved
