January 2004 Newsletter

Happy New Year everyone! I hope the New Year finds you all in good health and good spirits. The club is starting the year in good shape, with a (small) net profit in 2003, and no debts going into 2004 (the land and all range improvements are paid off at this point in time).

There will be a youth shoot held at the range on Saturday, January 31. For more information, contact Marc Gomez (746-0209).

Anyone who would like to help the club support the shooting sports among our community’s youth are encouraged to donate .22LR rifles to the club for use by youth at the range. Preferred configuration is bolt action (either single shot or repeater) with open sights. If interested, contact Marc Gomez (746-0209).

CMP shoots are scheduled for the year on three Sundays this coming spring: February 29, April 25, and June 27. For more information, contact Ken Jacks (kjacks@clarkston.com, 798-3159).

The January membership meeting will be held Wednesday, January 7, beginning at 6:00 p.m., at the Helm restaurant. Sparky Sparkman will be talking about his double rifle.
