| Letter from the President |
June 2007 |
The Board of Directors and
I thank your for your continuing support of our
club. I would like to take a few minutes of your time to update
you on the status of NPGC. During the past year and a half, the
board members have spent a tremendous amount of time on our potential
relocation. Unfortunately the property we told you about in
Bondurant fell through. As you can imagine obtaining zoning
approval can be difficult.
W realize that we concentrated so much on the
relocation that we forgot some of the day-to-day issues. We
apologize for missing the small things that made our club what it was in
the past. We will get there again with your help.
As we continue checking into relocation options,
it is business as usual at our present location. We are still in
excellent financial condition. Like you, we face the same
increasing costs of the clay target sports. We have managed to
maintain round fees for several years; unfortunately, the increasing
target costs dictated what we raise our round rates. In an effort
to minimize the impact to the membership, we raised the rates only by
the amount of increase in our last target shipment. This increase
allows us to maintain our strong financial condition.
We have a lot of exciting events at our club this
summer. The largest of these events is a Cystic Fibrosis Charity
Shoot on August 3rd and 4th. We need a substantial number of
volunteers to assist in various roles for this shoot. In over
Labor Day weekend, we will have the Grizzly Bear skeet shoot.
Before these two large events, we are planning a club clean up day for
July 29. Another exciting change this summer is the addition of a
Thursday night skeet league with grilling available instead of holding
our traditional monthly club nights. Flyers announcing this new
league can be found elsewhere. We hope to see you at the Club
Championships on July 8. In closing we would like to urge everyone
to get out, shoot, and bring your friends.
Good shooting,
Kurt Lehman
NPGC Board President |
