We are halfway through summer and have had a few things happen at the club. Our biggest event was participating in the town of New Haven yard sale weekend. We did this as a fund raiser for the club rather than having a series of raffles or other activities to raise money to meet our various expenses. We need approximately $15,000 a year to pay for taxes, maintenance, insurance, utilities and repairs. Unless we have fundraising projects, our only income is membership dues which do NOT generate that amount of money. I want to thank those members who made donations for the sale they are Grover Earle, Terry Dunn, Michael Schifano, Roy Abbott, Dave Van Sanford, Karen Ruth, Ed Besaw, Don Fenske, Linda Brosch, Me, John Barry, Laverne Tronecker and a member whose name I failed to record. I apologize if I omitted anyone who contributed, it was not intentional....

Happy spring to all. Due to varies health issues I have been unable to get a newsletter out since December. I will try to catch up everyone on what is happening at the club. To begin, if you have not renewed your membership you may do so at any time, when you do you will receive a new membership card and the gate combination. Dues are shown on the membership application onthis site. At our March meeting we finalized the proposed by-law changes and the vote was unanimous. Most are minor changes that are more for clarification. I will publish the entire By-Laws and have them posted ASAP. In previous newsletter I have requested donations for the chicken bar-b-Q to be held on June 10 at the club. It will still take place but we will not use it as a fund raiser for the club, and will not need...

Welcome fall. Once again we are heading to the busiest time on the range. Due to the abundance of rain it has been difficult to keep the range mowed but we are trying our best. A few dry days should improve things. The campus security used the range this past week and hopefully it did not interfere too much with our members. Once again we do not allow guest on the range unless you accompany them and have a valid guest pass- obtainable from Ralph Izzo- 315-480-6157. Please call ahead and he will take care of you. The fee is $5.00 per guest. Only paper targets are allowed- on the 25 and 50 yard backboards they can be attached with cloth pins onto the orange fencing. For the 100 and 200 yard range they should be stapled. When you are done shooting please remove the targets and take them with...

Summer is upon us and the rifle range has been busy. Again a reminder if you bring it in please take it out, the containers are for shell casings only. Please take misfired ammunition with you DO NOT put it in the container. Once again if you wish to bring a guest please get a guest pass ( $5.00) from Ralph Izzo 315-480-6157. Our fund raiser of the year was held on June 11 in conjunction with the Mexico trail riders. We were fortunate in having a excellent day weather wise and a good turnout. Chickens were sold out and the raffles were decent. The 2 main items we raffled were a CVA muzzleloader which was won by Tim Searles and the 50/50 won by Don Fenske. A special thank you to those members who helped. With a membership of close to 300 individuals it was disappointing to only have...
