FROM THE PRESIDENT
Just a reminder we have 6 of our board officers up for election. Board elections are held during our August
membership meeting. Positions available this election cycle are 2nd VP, Secretary, Archery Chair, Rifle, Rental
and Property.
Last weekend we had YHEC and served about 130 youth and adults and boy was it steamy out after the rain
left in the morning and the heat hit us that around noon.
Also this weekend we have a fun shoot with awards from the NRA. Get with our Rifle Chair Charles Mannis
515-720-6912 with registration starting at 9am. Lunch will be available on the grounds as well. Any members
willing to come out and watch and help with dinner would be appreciated too.
Remember to stay cool during these hot weather days and we will see you out at the chapter grounds!
Craig McIntyre, President
