    We recently received this letter detailing Ladies Night at the Range:

    I wanted to send you a short note so you could share with the others at the board meeting. Thanks for the opportunity to coordinate a ladies night at the range. It was very successful. On any of the five nights, there were between six and ten ladies excited to shoot. We had ladies of all skill levels, who learned how to become more independent and more accurate with their firearms.

    We had two ladies who started week 1 using their husband’s guns and by week 3, purchased a new gun more suited to themselves.

    We started every week by reviewing the four rules of gun safety.

    Everyone who participated is interested in doing it again next summer, if possible. The most popular choice would be every other week during the months of June, July, and August.

    Keep in touch.

    Sincerely,
    Sue Heckel

    Thanks to Sue and all the ladies who participated. We hope to see you all next year.

    Wanted: M1 Garand or Carbine
    The club is looking to purchase rifles for our gun raffles. If you have one of these rifles in good operating condition and would be willing to let it go for a reasonable price, please give us a call at 330-832-2411. The Club made good money on the raffles last time around.

    We were recently informed of the passing of Member Gary Wilson. Gary passed on August 12th. He was 80 years old. Also, Member David Ganyard passed away on September 26th. David was 56 years old. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of their family and friends.

    Once again, remember one stray round leaving our ranges could be the end of our Club. Please use good common sense and shoot safely.

    Lake
    AquaDoc completed their 10th biweekly inspection and reports that they applied algicide as needed. The lake has never looked better. They will be back in two weeks. I had a report of a 15-inch bass being caught, and the silver cats are also hitting.
