NOTES OF INTEREST

We are in the third week of the Lansing Rod & Gun Club’s Summer Fun League. We have about 40 shooters from the area. This league is on Sunday from 9 am til Noon and Mondays from 4 PM til 7 PM. Everyone has to shoot a total of 300 birds. It is a 6 week league strictly for bragging rights. You can shoot once a week, or you can shoot ahead or catch up.   All birds are White Flyers. At the end of the six weeks everyone will be treated to a steak picnic. If you would like to see scores you can look it up on the website lansingrodandgun.tripod.com/homepagelrg/

On July 25^th, 2009 the Lansing Rod & Gun Club participated in the Route 90 Yardsale. Club members donated items to put in the sale and most everything was sold. It was a great day. Lots of fun and quite a few left with sunburns. The Board wishes to thank Charlie and Roxanne Nesbit for the use of their yard. And a heartfelt thanks to the people that worked that day and also to all those that donated items.

WORK NEWS! WORK NEWS!

FUN! FUN! FUN!

Alrighty. Here we go. Clambake contracts have been signed. This is what we have scheduled this summer. We do not have a head count on most of them but the first bake will be 300+ . This is a large number for our first bake of the year, so let’s start planning on maybe giving us some of your time this summer. Friday prep work starts around 9:30 am and goes pretty much all day depending on how many people show up to help. Saturday (clambake day), we need people here starting at 8:00 am. Clambakes start at Noon and cleanup usually ends around 7:00 PM.
