The end of our shooting season has arrived.  Hunting season has started for some and the holidays are nearly upon us.  As we all get ready to hibernate through the cold, snowy winter season, let’s take some time to reflect back on our 2009 shooting season.

The Long Riders and Vile Bunch made several changes this year.  We bought some new targets, canopies, and water jugs. We brought in a new caterer for our 3-Day Shoot and eliminated some of the 3-Day Shoot expenses. The revamped website also allowed us to eliminate more costs and improve communications. We received a large canopy donation and monetary contributions from our members that helped even though times are tough for some people recently.

The Vile Bunch is getting ready to plan the 2010 season. If you would like to run for an office, volunteer for an appointed position, or just want to volunteer some of your time, please contact me or a Vile Bunch member. Also, if you have any topics you would like to discuss at our Annual meeting in February, please let me know, so I can add it to our agenda.

Don’t forget to fill out your Long Riders 2010 Membership application. After submitting the form, you will receive an email confirming your membership application receipt. Please mail it with your check to our treasurer (her address will be at the bottom of the confirmation email). This emergency contacts and medical information is very important and will only be used in case of emergencies.

See you out on the range – next year!
