January 2008 Newsletter

Well, kids, let me start this newsletter by saying I hope you all had a Merry Christmas (not politically correct- like I care) and will have a prosperous new year. Next, I have to say that I have been lax with the newsletter- for this I apologize. I did notice, however, that nobody jumped in and picked up the slack- big surprise huh?

Our fall turkey shoot was once again a big success thanks to the chair, Larry Knott, and his group of good members. You all know who they are-- they're the same ones every time. The people that sell the bar cards, they use their vehicle and GAS to pick up the turkeys, hams, etc. They repair the target holders and make sure the shoot goes as smooth as possible. Yup, looks like nothing's changing when it comes to volunteering. I hope I don't sound negative, but wouldn't it be nice to have the MAJORITY of the membership get off their asses and do something, as opposed to the dedicated few who do almost everything. Oops, I hope I didn't offend anybody.

Just a reminder to the membership: You receive 1 hours credit for every monthly meeting that you attend. It's an easy way to fulfill your obligation to your club. See you all at the next meeting- yeah right!

We have a new person to take over the responsibilities of club rentals- John Kosakoski- did I spell that right John? I would like to thank Jeanette Knott for all her patients as the last person to do rentals. To be quite honest I don't know how she didn't kill some of the buffoon's who rented the club. God bless ya girl. Knowing John, I'm sure that he won't put up with any foolishness.

Please take note of the new door combination. It will be included with your new dues card once you pay your dues for 2008-- DO NOT GIVE THE COMBO TO PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T PAY THEIR DUES! New combo will take affect in January.

I believe that I have once again remained true to the fact that I'm obnoxious and a pain in the ass with some club matters. I will leave Mr. Usis some room to list this year's club activities, and to fill in any blanks that I have overlooked. As always support our local businesses, get involved with your club, and remember that there is no other place in the world where people have the freedoms that we have here in this great country. We may not agree with all of the sometimes-assinine things that our leaders do, but hey, we put 'em there, so don't bitch to loud. Just like I always say "fly her high" peace out.

Editor's Note: The membership at the January meeting voted to extend the final due date for payment of 2008 dues to the February 28th meeting.
