President’s Message

(March 2014)

The electronic ballots and paper ballots (for those that do not have email) have been sent. The last day to vote is March 15. If you haven’t voted, I encourage you to do so.

The annual meeting is at 9 am on Saturday April 5, 2014. Topics to be addressed includes the 2014 financial reports, handgun range status, 2014 club projects and events, introduction of the new BOD, and open discussions with the membership. The new BOD will take over at the conclusion of the meeting.

The club will be hosting a registered skeet shoot on May 10 & 11. This event will be chaired by Dave Schroeder who will be looking for volunteers to work this shoot.  It is a four gun shoot at $48 per gun. If you have any interest in helping out or shooting in this event, you can contact Dave at 815-988-7552 or email him at dschroe356@aol.com.

As a reminder, Terry VanDenBoom will be responsible for all monetary receipts for the Club (rounds and dues payments).  Terry’s address is 7347 Sorghum Ln. Cherry Valley, IL. 61016. He can be reached at 815-312-6476 or via email at terryvdb@t6b.com.

Once the weather breaks, we will start working on the handgun range and start construction of the 5 stand deck. More dirt is needed for the back berm on the handgun range. Once that is done, the drainage system will be installed, and the construction of the shooting stations will begin.

The guide book on gun values is missing from the club. If you have borrowed it, please return it as soon as possible.
