BULLETIN FOR DECEMBER

A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or reserve
- is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made

NEW ROAD SPEED – Board approved changing the speed limit on our roads from 5 to 10 MPH. It seemed that most speedometers do not register 5 mph - 5 mph is too slow when coming down the hill. New signs will be posted.

WINTER DRIVING: Turn Lights ON when coming down the hill at the North Range. Reduced visibility is the reason – no stopping at the bottom. A new sign will be put at the top. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Speed Limit Board approved changing the speed limit from 5 to 10 MPH on our roads.

LEAD Recovery – Finished – We are done offering 100 lbs to all members and have sold to those who wanted more than 100 lbs. You can buy more at the North Range. Jim Groves – if called – will sell you probably as much as you want. Inquire at North Range or Shot-gun House.

Pistol Postal League: There are sign-up sheets at the Indoor Range.

Indoor Range: New non member fee approved by the Board for the Indoor Range. Range fee is now $10. Flyers will be posted at several stores advertising our range.

GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING: Sunday – December 14 at 7pm. Come – should have up to 15 frozen turkeys as door priz-es. A handmade Knife by Don Greeves is available as a raffle prize. We also plan to offer 5 ea 25 lb bags of lead shot as door prizes. Is this enough incentive to attend?

2008 Elections: Larry Bassett’s name has been accepted for Executive Officer. George Bratina will run for Vice President and our Treasurer – Jim Groves – will step down should another wish to help on the Board. Nominations will still be solicited and ac-cepted.

2009 MEMBERSHIPS: We will start selling 2009 memberships after the General membership meeting in December.

2nd Amendment: Another gun carry argument - Law-abiding citizens do just that, they abide by the law. Their carrying weapon is no threat to any other law-abiding citizen. (Chuck Zigenfuss)
