SAFETY AND ORIENTATION MEETINGS ARE PROGRESSING NICELY.
A few months ago, the club initiated a MANDATORY safety and orientation class for all members, regardless of how long you’ve been a member. There were just too many violations of common sense safety rules, and we were ripe for an accident. ALL members will be required to attend one of the classes. For your convenience, the classes are held on the Saturday after the monthly business meeting which takes place on the second Thursday of the month. The class starts at 8:00 AM. The whole class takes less than an hour, and covers aspects of activities of the club. First and foremost is safety! Next, normal club rules and explanation of what is expected of you as a member. Where are the lights? You’d be amazed at the number who don’t know. What about targets? Trash? Pop machine? Coffee? Range etiquette and correct safety procedures are covered. Lots of good stuff which most of us already know, but every one of us can stand a refresher. Make it a point to attend one of the sessions. If you can’t make a Saturday meeting, arrangements can be made to accommodate your needs.
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
How many times have you come to the range and wondered who it was that was shooting next to you on the line? Yeah, me too! In order to help identify members, a policy requiring a visible name badge was adopted. A stick-on label will be provided to paste over your key card. In order to make the “visible” part easier, you will also be provided with a plastic card holder with clip so you can clip the ID to your shirt, hat, or pretty much anywhere it can be seen.
GUESTS!
Quivera members, we have solved the problem. Our insurance makes no provision for guests. Since there is no coverage from our insurance company regarding guests, the membership voted to have guests sign in as usual and by so doing they become temporary members. problem solved, and they are covered by our insurance policy.
SIGN UP A NEW MEMBER TO THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
If I may be permitted a little political discourse, I would like to encourage you to sign up a new member to the NRA. $35.00 too much?, how about an associate membership for $10.00. With the election of an extremely anti-gun congress and white house, we need numbers. Currently the NRA has about 4 million members. If we all sign up just one more, we can double that number. Surely you can find one or more people who you could sign up. How about your spouse! Heck, pay for it yourself. It’s only ten bucks.
APPLICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP ONLY AVAILABLE AT CLUB
It was voted on that applications for membership in the club only be available at the club and only on Thursday nights. This will ensure that the prospective member have a chance to meet members and have a chance to get a tour of the club prior to applying for membership. For those prospects who have to work evenings, arrangements will be made for a tour at a time more convenient to them.
