San Angelo Gun Club Newsletter August 2017

Members, we hope you are sharing in the excitement of all the improvements being made at your Club. It is only through the volunteer efforts of many that such positive changes are possible. We invite you to get involved and make a difference. Interested in volunteering? You may contact any Officer and/or watch for events on the Newsletters and the website calendar.

Our overflow pond has been filled with the recent rains. It’s great for our community but driving at the range is bad for our roads. Please refrain from going to the Club if the roads are muddy. Remember that access to the Club as well as all events are weather dependent.

Time is running out. Have you renewed your membership?

2016-2017 memberships will expire August 31st

Old gate keys will no longer provide access.

Most of our members are utilizing the Online Orientation. It’s easy to

use, quick and can be done in the comfort of your home. Complete your

Orientation online or check the Calendar for Orientations held at the

Club.

Free and open to the public

Your help is needed to ensure this event is a fun success for all

involved. If you aren’t competing, please volunteer.

Organizer and Volunteer Coordinator – Reynaldo Maldonado can be

reached via text at 325-315-3811.
