Of Special Note

Cleanup Day was a real success considering it was raining for most of the time. All of the crews toughed it out & got the job done. Trash was policed & the whole dumpster was filled; tarps and the new shelter went up at the 22 range; The 300 yard range house & grounds got a real spring cleaning. Shockers field and caretaker pad was cleaned up; the collapsed sewer lines at shockers were removed; brush was trimmed at 22 range; clubhouse 'lawn' was raked and porch roof pine needles were swept off. All of the volunteers deserve thanks so Don’t Be Shy, tell them when you see them around!
Job well done to: Richard Roeill, Rich Schnetzler, Irv Ellis, Erich Deagostino, Richie Budd, Shane Budd, Gerald Ronk, Manny Cintron, Nick Bishop and Scott Reynolds.
A little extra kudos for Dick Bierschenk, Dave Bailin and Dominic Pellicci for cleaning up the roadside garbage that is always a terrible mess. They collected a whole dumpster worth of OPG (Other People's Garbage)

Due to the generosity of one of our members, we have a collection of Collector Edition State Duck Stamp Prints for sale to benefit the club.
These are really beautiful prints ready for framing. They are signed, limited edition, unframed, archive quality, prints in new condition, in original packaging, never framed, and stored flat.
Take a couple of minutes and check them out at wrg.club/prints.
The web page has great images, info and how to contact if interested.
