Annual Picnic coming soon!
Sunday, August 5th. Mark you
calendars! The time is near for our
annual Picnic at High Hill Ranch - Sunday August 5, at High Hill Ranch in
Camino. Please start arriving around noon, we eat at 1pm and the fun goes
to 4pm. The price for the lunch is just $7.00 for adults, $3.00 for
children, collected at the picnic.
We have two main prizes for
this year’s picnic. A Savage Arms 116FSS Weather Warrior Series with
AccuTrigger™ rifle in your choice of caliber and a Tom Tom Go auto GPS.
You need not be present to win the main raffle prizes. Tickets for the
raffle are available from all officers and directors of the club. Also from
Letty at the Mountain Democrat, Monday - Wednesday - Friday between 10am
and 3pm and you can reach her at 530-344-5049 and from Larry Ward at Wards
Automotive in Diamond Springs. All prize Tickets are $5.00
each, so buy as many as you can to help support the club. Tickets will be
available to purchase at the picnic.
We have many other great
prizes that we will be raffling off at the picnic so be sure to attend.
If you are planning on
attending the picnic we are asking people with last names beginning with A
through P to please bring a Salad. People with last names beginning with Q
through Z please bring a Dessert.
The annual picnic is one of
two main fund raisers for the club, the other being our Annual Banquet
Awards Dinner. I can't stress enough how important it is to have your
support at these events. We have many great plans for our range and
without these fund raisers we can't move forward and make the improvements
that we all would like to see at the range. So please support our club by
buying tickets for the main prize and by attending the picnic and enjoying
the company of others who support the cause that you find important, the
El Dorado Rod & Gun Club.
Hope to see you August 5, at High Hill Ranch for an enjoyable time. For more information go to our web site @ www.eldoradorodandgun.com. eMail vs. USPS mail:

Picnic 2006 |
The P.L.I.N.K. Report: May 26 PLINK Volunteers mostly from our El Dorado Rod & Gun Club and an unattached family of copy cats took apart a 30 foot fifth wheel house trailer that had been dumped in our Eldorado National Forest. They gathered so much other filth that it would not fit in our five pickup trucks that went to the dump. None of this stuff had any thing to do with legitimate target shooting, but since it had been riddled by illegal shooting on a road, gun owners in general were being blamed for it. We can actually hit things smaller than freezers, washers, etc.
June 16 we went back. Without Doug Becker it took Teresa Riesenhuber driving a big U.S. Forest Service stake side to get the rest of the junk. Much of it was metal that anyone can dump for free, but the Forest Service dump bill was $102. It took a five person Fire Engine Crew to unload it. We also took care of the shooting area formerly blocked by a big mud puddle.
The folks that are making all of us look good are; Doug Becker, Paul Lockyer, Al Morrow, David Hawkins, Gary Stone, Si Russell, Ed Dunn, Ray Engler, Tim Guth, D.J. Guth, Carol, Randy, & Dane Kolbo, Bill George, Jake Erlich, Terry Bush, Michael Eribes de Flores, Dan Mc Mahon, Tom Bullock III, Scott Fechner, Richard Maynard, Stan Cartwright, Marian Genir, and Donn Niblett who taught his 15 year old Grandson Eric from North Hollywood what happens when he comes to visit.
NEXT Please Leave It NRA Klean outing starts 9 AM SUNDAY JULY 16 from the Pollock Pines Safeway parking lot heading for a special mess off of Omo Ranch Road. Please RSVP Steve 620-3946 |
