 
2008 Annual El Dorado Rod & Gun Club Banquet.
Mark your calendars now for our annual banquet dinner coming this January 22, 2008. We will be holding the dinner at the Cold Springs Country Club in Placerville. The main prizes are selected and I guarantee that you will be very impressed with the selection this year, with the largest number of firearms and other prizes we have ever raffled off at a single function. We will be selling only a limited number of tickets for each main prize so this is a great opportunity to win.

Presidents Report:
The El Dorado Rod & Gun Club is an all volunteer organization. All of our Officers, Directors and Range Safety Officers volunteer their time and knowledge in support of the club. Funding to operate our shooting facility comes from membership dues, range fees, donations and most importantly monies raised from our annual banquet. We hope we can count on your support so that we can continue to provide all the services that our club gives to our community. We have a number of ways that you can help: By attending our banquet this January 22, 2008 and buying raffle tickets you help with raising much needed funds to maintain our facility and make needed improvements throughout the year. By joining or renewing membership to our club you help with the daily operation of the range facility. Club membership gives you the benefit of being a supporter of the only controlled, safe shooting facility in El Dorado County as well as being a member of the largest group of like-minded voters in the county to support your rights to own firearms. So there you have it, we need your help. We are holding our annual banquet this coming January 22, 2008 and we need your support for this event.

We completed the last shooting stations for trap 3 on a perfect sunny day in November. For the day after Thanksgiving we had a fantastic turnout and were able to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Everyone one did a great job, thank you to all who helped. Thank you to Bill Pease, Larry Carsten, Larry Ward, Doug Becker, Karen Beckman, Bob “the cook” Howard, Dave Shull, Ken Arwood, Bob Conover, Phil Weidman, Don Firanzi, Marshal Seaborn, Glen Coan, and to anyone I may have forgotten (and I always forget someone) my apologies.
