President’s Report

BY GLENN RODRICK

Spring work parties have started. Please watch for emails

and newsletters on up-coming projects. The April work party

has been rescheduled for Saturday, May 12th. Hopefully the

weather will cooperate this time. We have wood to split, brush

to clear, things to paint and demolition on a shed at the pic-

nic grounds and work at the Peil range.

We are gathering bids to have the hall floor refinished. Work

on the new pistol bays has begun. Thank you to everyone

that has worked so hard! To make this all happen.

Hunter Education classes have begun as well as Beginning

Trap or Skeet classes. And don’t forget about the Handgun

Familiarization classes to sign up for too.

The Easter Bunny made an appearance with lots of fun stuff

for the kids. Everyone seemed to have a hopping good time.

Thank you to our Easter Egg Hunt Committee and volun-

teers!!!!!

KID’S EASTER COMMITTEE

The White Bunny came hopping in for a visit again this year, and he

even brought in some fresh snow to brighten up the morning festivities.

Bubbles were flying, popcorn was popping, kids were playing with

their balloons, and we had donuts and drinks for all. 11:00 AM came

and the race was on. Kids were moving in every direction collecting

eggs and toys. It was amazing to watch.

A special thank you to all of the volunteers who came out on Friday

to stuff eggs and Saturday to help out the Easter Bunny, the McMillan

family for donating over 1 thousand stuffed eggs, Papa Murphy’s for

feeding our Friday volunteers and the Sportsmen’s Warehouse for do-

nating bags and helping us with prizes. Coupons for both stores are

available at the Chateau. We couldn’t have pulled it all together

without the help of our family, friends and club members.

Thank you again!!!! We are looking forward to seeing you all and the

Bunny here next year.

Sincerely,

Teresa Rodrick , chairperson
