FROM THE PRESIDENT

 

The holidays are over and I want to take the opportunity to wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year. Also, I hope everyone had a successful hunting season. Don't forget, there are still plenty of opportunities to get out for the late small game seasons and the primitive weapons season.

If you just want to work on your shooting skills, the sporting clays and 3-D schedules are included in this newsletter. For those of you with cabin fever, but don't want to be out in the cold, don't forget about the indoor pistol range and the upcoming pin shoots.

Thanks to Don Waugaman and the Archery Committee for their hard work on another successful gun raffle. Also, thanks to the members who supported this effort by selling and buying these tickets.

GUN TICKET COMMITTEE REPORT


Our second ticket did very well and, again, I want to thank all the people who sold and purchased tickets. Congratulations to all the winners. We are now working on a third ticket and it should be out sometime in January. We are going to change suppliers to try and make it a lot easier to pick up your prize. The new store will be Gander Mountain in West Mifflin. We will be putting some new items on this ticket. Gander Mountain will have at our request the following items:

(Anything in the store is available - hunting, archery, fishing, camping, clothing, and reloading equipment.)

That about does it for now, so be watching for our new fund raising ticket because it helps our Club and it is a lot of fun selling winners and making people happy.

QUOTES OF THE MONTH

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the rights of the people by the gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."

James Madison

"People who are willing to give up freedom for the sake of short term security deserve neither freedom nor security."

Benjamin Franklin

 

 

ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE NRA?

There are approximately 60 million gun owners in the U.S., but only about 4 million belong to the NRA. Just imagine if only a quarter of those gun owners would join; what a powerful voice we would be in Washington, instead of the anti-gunners making all the noise. The cost to join is small, the cost not to join may be your Second Amendment rights. Don't wait until the 2004 convention to join, become a member now!
