Just So You Know

2026 dues were due by January 1st. Amounts, schedules and how to pay are at wrg.club/dues . You can pay your 2026 dues online at wrg.club/payment .

There is a new Membership Poll. Only 30 seconds of your time ….. wrg.club/poll
We are organizing some informative short courses for the members and want to know what you would be interested in. Take the poll and let us know.

Spring Project and Clean Up Day will be April 25th . We will be doing the following: grounds cleanup, building new bases for target stands at the Rimfire and 300 yard ranges, painting trap fence and trap houses as well as a couple other projects that are still being finalized. Ranges are closed for the day – but you can still stop by and lend a hand.

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 .

Roundup

We have member mentorsthat are NRA certified in multiple disciplines. These members are willing to make themselves available for other members that want to brush up on marksmanship, 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 wrg.club/contact (select Member Mentor Program)

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.
