Just So You Know

We have been trying to run the dinners efficiently by requesting reservations by the first Tuesday of the month. Thanks to everyone who has done so – but there are still too many late ‘walk ins’. Reservations made after the first Tuesday of the month will now be $20.00 per plate .

All members are required to display their membership card when using the club ranges . If you do not display your card, then do not get angry when another member asks if you are a member. We have too many trespassers not to check for cards. Range Rules and Code of Conduct are posted here: wrg/club/

No shooting before 9:00 am. It is posted and we should all know that – but someone started shooting a little after 8:00. We need to be good neighbors - No shooting before 9:00 am

Roundup

We are looking to start a mentor program. More than a couple of our members are NRA instructors or have other instructional credentials. It was suggested that possibly some of these members could be available for instruction to other members that may be just starting out or want help with their shooting skills. Anyone interested in mentoring, please contact me at scottr@wrg.club .

Dinner Meetings! Good food; good time – but Cooks are needed! Please consider volunteering to head a team for one of our upcoming dinner meetings. Our Dinner Committee trainer, Glenn Pomerantz, can help guide you through the effort. Contact Glenn at 845.656.1284 or gapref01@gmail.com for more info.

We are looking for a few members to consider contributing to the club leadership. Get involved in the Board of Directors – start by stopping in for a meeting or two. Interested? – let me know scottr@wrg.club .
