Friendly reminder - We are always looking for help at the club events and functions. If you need to complete your 3 new member details, this is a way to do that. You see the club events published in this article. Mark them on your calendars as a reminder, check with your sponsor to see if anything is coming up or stop by the club and see what's happening. An extra pair of hands always makes the chore easier, and more fun!

Remember...

  • If anyone knows of a member who is sick or hospitalized, please let us know. You can leave a message at 508-435-4148.
  • Don't forget Trap shooting on Sunday afternoons. We start around 1:30. Come on down and join in the fun. Quite a few people have joined in over the past couple of months. The public is welcomed. Thank you to the members that have done some maintenance work on the trap machine which will keep things running smoothly.
  • Goal Membership: There are many benefits of being a Goal member that will also benefit us. Beside Goal representing & protecting our rights to bear arms, they also pay for you to receive the Outdoor Message, thus a cost savings for the club. Applications are at the club, in the newsletter or online at www.goal.org. If you have questions, please attend a members meeting or talk with Dennis Smith.

New members, if you need to complete your 3 work details, we still have some functions coming up that would help fulfill this obligation. Remember, anytime we have a function at the hall, there is a job to be done.

Ongoing, we can order jackets, shirts, etc. If you are interested in looking at these items please contact the club (508-435-4148). We have orange and green hats on hand, now embroidered ($8), and the newest item is a camouflaged version ($12), two styles. Please contact Cherryl if you would like to purchase a club jacket or other article of clothing. The bartenders can help with the hats, as they are usually in stock at the club.

We added member hunting pictures! When new pictures have been added to our website, check them out at: www.woodvillerodandgun.com and click on the "Gallery".
