A few of us were talking after our monthly USPSA pistol match on Saturday about....what else....the horrible tragedy that has befallen the New Orleans area. We have decided to put together (short notice, I know) a fund raiser at the range for this Saturday.
I know that most of us want to help out in some way, but don't know where to begin. Here is a great opportunity to come on out and have a great time, and really do something positive.
The 4H Kids will be putting on a barbecue, and we will have various shooting activities and demonstrations on the various bays. There will be a practical shooting range, high round count, lots of steel, lots of "run 'n gun." Additionally, we will be holding gun handling workshops for the (up to now) non-shooter, who might like to give it a try. Also a great opportunity for all of those "range widows" to come out and learn to safely handle a weapon, under the supervision of a Weapons Instructor with 25 years experience in Law Enforcement. A great opportunity for the young shooter, as well.
And what would a charity event be without a couple of games of chance. There will be a 100 yd bullseye contest, and a turkey shoot, with a 50/50 payout.
There will be no admission fees, no range fees, no charge for BBQ and cold drinks. We'll leave it all up to the generosity of those attending to donate what they can or wish. Club members, management, and some generous supporters will shoulder all of the up-front costs. After the event, we will see that the proceeds - every penny-100% - will get to where it can do the most good in terms of humanitarian aid.
So I ask you......wouldn't it be nice to get together with friends old and new, in the spirit of fellowship and giving? Come on out, have some great food and a good time.There is strength in numbers. Lets send a message to the survivors that we are here to help. They have not been forgotten.

Thanks so much for your time. I hope to see you Saturday morning. If any of you wishes to be so kind as to pass this on, so that as many as possible may see it, that will be greatly appreciated.
By the way, if you're coming out to shoot, remember ear and eye protection.
Stay safe,
Tim
