MONTHLY MEETINGS: Every member should make an effort to attend our monthly meetings. It gives you a chance to hear first hand what is going on. A lot of important issues are discussed and you should be there to contribute your skills and expertise. Helping in a small way can benefit your club in a big way. It's also a great way to meet your fellow members. Give it a try.

CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS PARTY: A new member, Travis Snell, has volunteered to coordinate this party. If you can help in any way, I'm sure he would be glad to hear from you. Santa will be there. Don't forget to bring a small wrapped gift ($10 or under) for your child/children so Santa will have something to give him/her. Please mark your gift with his/her name.

PISTOL: Congratulations to Ned Berube. He took first place in the 22 matches this summer in the Tewksbury summer league.
