2005 Memberships
Memberships are now due! Please contact Lorrie Sommerville to renew 474-1746.
 
Cards: New procedure being started ASAP.  When you renew/pay your membership dues for 2005, you will receive your new 'interim' membership card. This card can be kept in your vehicle to show the Commissionaire when entering the outdoor range.  A laminated card will be mailed to you, and you are required to wear this card, where it's visible (like on your quiver or attached to your jacket, etc.) whenever you are using the club facilities such as the outdoor and indoor ranges. This is to ensure that those using the facilities are, in fact, members and therefore insured. Your cooperation is appreciated.
 
Waiver: All members are required to sign a waiver before using the outdoor range, please contact Lorrie to sign it or download it from the website and forward it to Lorrie or Al as soon as you can. (This waiver can be found on the membership form.)
