From the President:
Thank goodness the gas well has been drilled and as long as the well is productive we will see an end to our high heating costs. Let’s make this a record year! There are a number of things I would like the club to have records20in.
1. Ticket sales and profits for the club raffle and the Federation Raffle.
2. Increased NRA memberships in the club. It is more important now than ever.
3. Increased activities in the club. There are so many new events we can have. All we need are a couple of chairmen and some volunteers. If you have an idea for an event please approach me or any trustee and let9 9s get it going.
4. Let’s also make this a record year for improvements in the clubhouse. We will be having some work parties and will be getting estimates for some much needed improvements to the building.
