Membership:

This issue has been beaten to death...but, we need new members. Go out and sign up a friend, and take them to the range for a impromptu shoot session....they may just like it and get involved.

Pennington Co. Fair:

Val and Shirley will be calling you to help out in the cook shack this year. You don=t need to be a cook or take orders or handle money. Just come by and schmooze with the customers and tell them about our club. We need a lot of word of mouth advertising and schmoozing is a good asset in this department. We do need cooks and counter workers, too.

Jim Counter at  jcounter@wiktel.com  (681-1901) or Brent Waale at bwaale@hotmail.com (681-3304)

By all means, come and see us at the fair, even if you=re not working. Come and buy a burger and visit with your fellow members.

ffffffff

We have initiated contact with the two other clubs in our ATri-Club Shoot@ started years ago, and have received a letter back from Darryl Janisch representing the TRF Archery Club. His club members suggest it be held soon and offer their choice of dates... Monday - June 10^th, or Friday - June 14^th, or Monday - June 17^th, or Friday - June 21^st. I (Brent Waale) will be running the P.C.S.C. aspects of the shoot, and am quasi-organizing it from the point of view of our club. The club with the lowest amount of members participating will determine the score amount accepted. If one club has 5 members, the other has 9 members and the last club has 16 members participating, the top 5 scores will determine the trophy. Word has yet to be received by the TRF Trap Club representative. More on this as we find out from them. Questions, interests, suggestions on dates....wanna help out. Contact me...681-3304

- We didn=t get the clean-up done when we scheduled it due to inclement weather. We will still try to run one in June. June 2 is a tentative date.

Elections For PCSC Officers

- We failed to meet quorum at May=s meeting so we will attempt to have elections at June=s meeting. Please come and elect your officers for the 2002-2003 year.

-We=ll be calling members with dates and times of the events listed above. Please have an idea of what you could help with. If you want to be ahead of the game...contact Shirley (5855) or Val (1442). Their e-mails are on the website on the officers page.

Please do not come out to shoot that day as we have a full plate from 1-5 in the afternoon. If you come out as a PCSC member, be prepared to be a YFS instructor and give a class or help with facilitating the round robin courses. Be Advised and Forewarned: the range is closed to all this day but the Youth Firearm Program. Our continued thanks for the support of the current instructor staff. Without you as instructors, the program in TRF area doesn=t exist.

Other YFS News: Special thanks goes out to the PCSC - YFS Instructors that helped out with the Goodridge class this past May. There are new instructors out there and requested our help in designing and implementing a workable class syllabus. Our members traveled to Goodridge High School and gave their time as well as hosted the 7 of the 9 students at our Club grounds for a hands on demonstration of the firing range operation. The new instructors Kelly Dahlen and Bob Paulson, as well as the students were appreciative of our efforts and we were glad to help.
