Gun Raffle: The next gun raffle will be for a choice of an M1 Carbine or an M1 Garand. This raffle is sold out and will be drawn at the December membership meeting. The next raffle will be for whichever rifle we have left or $500.00 in cash or your choice of a field can of 30.06 or 30 Carbine ammo. Your choice. Same deal. $10.00 per ticket, only 200 tickets sold. Stop by the Clubhouse during open hours to purchase tickets.

Help the Club: Want to do something to help the Club out? Something that won’t cost you anything and any of you can do. Sign up a new member. If you hear someone talking about firearms, ask them where they shoot. Tell them about our club and bring them out and give them a tour of the place. Signing up new members will help keep membership costs down. If half of our members would sign up a new member, it would really help out.

2024 Dues Payments: 2024 Dues payments, according to NLFG bylaws article VI item 3, “member dues must be paid by December 31st for the next year.” To facilitate this, we will be accepting dues payments on Sundays during office open hours. Or you can mail your completed membership renewal form along with a self-addressed stamped envelope to the Club. Membership forms are available for downloading and printing on the website. Thank you for your continued support.

Happy Holidays
