| 2009 Year End Newsletter |
| It's hard to believe that this year is coming
to a close so quickly. At this time, the board would like to
thank this year's membership for all the support and time the
members have put into making this year such a success. Our major
expenses this year were the remotes for the skeet fields, auto
for the sporting clays course, shipment of birds, and two new
outhouses. The club also sponsored a youth trap league that went
to the A.T.A. state shoot in Alexandria in which, they performed
very well. They were outstanding representatives of the North
Star Sportsmens Club and we hope that they will continue to grow
and develop their love for shooting sports. Other events the
Club was involved and participated in were both the Outdoor and
Home Improvement shows at the Walker Community Center. The board
also took on a huge undertaking when they updated the Club's
By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation. The board decided to move
the Annual Membership Meeting from the evening of the Wild Game
Feed to the first Saturday after Labor Day. We anticipate that
with the changes we have made this year and the goals that the
board has set, that next year will be even more successful.
Listed below are some upcoming events you need to be aware of. |
|
| Memberships: |
| As of January 1, 2010, your annual memberships
are due. Along with your new membership dues, a new gate key
will be required. Membership and keys will be available at the
club on January 3, 17, February 7, 21, March 7, 21, and also at
the Wild Game Feed on April 24. If you have any questions
concerning memberships or the new keys, please contact one of
the board members. More information is available on the website
under announcements. |
|
| Wild Game Feed: |
| Our annual Game Feed is set for Saturday,
April 24, 2010 and will be held at the Moondance Saloon.
Moondance is located 4 miles east of Walker on Hwy 200. The Game
Feed will begin at 5:00 pm and the cost is $50.00 per person,
$25.00 for ages 12 - 18, and free for those under 12. The cost
not only includes all the great food but also a chance at
winning the huge door prize drawn at the end of all the
drawings. It's important to remember that the Wild Game Feed is
the Club's main fund-raiser so it's important that it continues
to be a success. We are also in need of volunteers for not only
the night of the feed but also the week before to help get
things prepared. If you can volunteer your time and energy, it
will be greatly appreciated. Please contact one of the board
members if you can lend your services or look for a sign up
sheet at the Club. |
|
| Winter Shooting: |
| Prone to cabin fever during those long winter
months? NSSC has just the cure for you. Beginning in January,
you will have the opportunity to take part in winter shooting at
the Club the first and third Sunday of each month (January 3,
17, February 7, 21, March 7, 21). Shooting times start at 12:00
noon and end at 3:00 pm. Weather needs to clear and above 10
degrees. If in doubt, call the club the day of the shoot at
547-3936. The clubhouse will be open and heated although the
bathrooms in the clubhouse will not be available for use but
there will be an outhouse available. |
|
| A.T.A. Shoots: |
| Again this year, the Club will be sponsoring
two registered A.T.A. shoots. One on May 30th and the other on
June 13th. We have received a lot of positive responses and
feedback from the shooters who have taken part in shooting and
visiting our Club. This is also another way for our Club to make
some revenue. If you have time and would like to help volunteer,
please get in touch with a board member or look for a sign up
sheet in the clubhouse. |
|
| Archery: |
| The Club will be sponsoring two 3-D archery
shoots again this year. The first one will be held April 17th &
18th and the second will be August 28th & 29th. This is a
great family event so if you like archery or your kids have
taken an interest in archery, don't miss this event. |
|
| Web Site: |
Our new web site is up and running so make
sure you check it often for Club information and updates at
www.nssclub.org. |
|
| Club Openings: |
| The club will be officially open for regular
hours on May 1, 2010. |
|
| KEYS |
A new lock will be installed on the club's entrance gate.
Those that purchase a key with the renewal of their membership,
will be issued a new key starting Jan. 1, 2010. If you have
purchased or renewed your membership, and have not received the
purchased key, it can be picked up after Jan 1st, from
1) The gun club
2) Duane Marty at Walker Ace

|
| GUEST PASSES |
| Beginning January 1, 2010, all memberships to the North
Star Sportsmens Club, will receive two guest passes. These
passes will entitle the bearer to one full day of membership
privileges. Membership to the club includes reduced rates for
shooting trap, skeet, & sporting clays, free use of the
rifle & handgun ranges, and free use of the archery target &
3-D ranges. |
|
| We hope this will encourage our fellow members to invite
those who have not experienced a day at our club. If you have
not received the two passes, please see the manager on duty at
the club. |
|
| New Board Member |
| Because of up coming commitments on other projects, board
member Harold Brace has requested that the board accept his
resignation. His resignation was accepted and the board thanks
him for his 1-1/2 yrs as a board member and chairing the
committee for the 2009 annual game feed. Following the rules set
forth in the club's by-laws (section 4.2), Richard Hanson was
unanimously chosen to fill the vacancy until the next membership
meeting. Rich is a Walker area business owner and an active
member of the club. |
