When you send in your dues with a check please remember to send in your membership application too. This helps us to keep all contact information current. You can find applications on our web site and at the range. Please fill out the membership application (in full) and return to us ASAP so you won’t miss out on all the exciting information you get from "The Powder Keg!"
Here’s an idea: if every member commits to bringing in one new member in the next 12 months, we double in membership! There are those who will bring in more than one, BONUS! I know it sounds simple, but really it is. Think about it, is your spouse a member? Is your shooting or hunting buddy a member? Can you or someone you know sponsor someone? If someone looks up to you as a mentor, help guide them. Don’t be discouraged if turned down, it’s guaranteed to be easier to get than your first date!! You have a full year, 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days…don’t make me calculate the hours!!!
When you get someone to join, have them include your name as who recommended them, so we know who to thank.
What better gift for Christmas than a membership????
I wish all and their loved ones a safe and very happy holiday season.
