(predominantly the March Corned Beef and the November Turkey dinners)
The Wawarsing Rod and Gun Club would like to thank Paul Lonstein
(and his father, the late Marty Lonstein) for cooking at our dinner
meetings for probably close to 50 years.
Paul has officially retired from the kitchen. We thank him for his
decades of dedicated service....Thanks Paul!

safety or any other area you wish to learn or improve. This is a great
opportunity for both new and seasoned shooters. Inquire or make a
request at
