This club is no different than any other organization. 10 – 15% of the membership does all the work and the other 85 -90 % let them. Many officers and/or directors have served for many years and need a break. I know we all are busy but we have one of the best Rod & Gun Clubs anywhere. We really need some of you to step up and help make it even better.
Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Blessed, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
Sincerely,
Jim E. Mayers, Secretary
