New combined Membership/Gate cards The club has installed a new gate card system recently. It’s a good thing too since the old card system was disabled when back in late January there was a bad neutral on the power pole just outside the club that provides power to the clubhouse, garage, pump house, and skeet range. All membership cards are being converted to a permanent card system. We are reques ng that all mem‐ber send a face photo to rrgcmemberservices@gmail.com so that the financial Secretary can create your new permanent membership/gate card. If your dues are paid, the card will remain ac ve. There will soon be card readers at all the ranges and in the clubhouse to detect any card that has been disabled due to not paying dues. So far approximately 1200 members have the upgraded cards. Since Bills went out on May 1st, the Club will be issuing the combined permanent Membership/Gate access cards as I receive payment and a Photo for your 2020‐2021 dues payments.
