Cushion Peak Rod and Gun Club

                 Members, the Holidays are upon us. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas and New Year, travel safely, and be sure to get out and enjoy the outdoors!

                I am addressing the members to highlight some current events and to encourage participation in club events moving forward this year. In case you have not heard, Club Elections took place on November 21st and your entire board has been re-elected for 2020, I want to take a moment to emphasize that our by-laws require that a member must attend 3 meetings the year prior to the November elections; this is monitored by signing the book at the start of the meeting, so remember to sign in, keep in mind this is your club as a member you’re an owner and out of approximately 900+ members only approximately 37 members attending the November meeting that were able to vote. I would really like to see that participation double by next November. Meetings are always the 3rd Thursday of the month at 7:00 PM. We will strive to keep them brief and to the point so please try to participate in your club this year.

                In summary of ongoing effort and events again this year, please check your calendar that is provided when you pay your dues. Dues are due by 1/31/20 and new member sign up is Saturday Feb. 1st, sign up a friend or family member. To highlight some new activities and re-occurring events we need your support. The new property committee will begin to do clean up work at the site where the log house was removed starting on Sunday mornings in the new year. Look for posted dates coming soon. There is also a movement by the trap committee to continue research and develop a plan to install a trap range on the new property, these meetings are the same night as wildlife meetings starting in the new year (the 3rd Tuesday). We are missing a vital part of the shooting sports at this club by not having an appropriate trap range. We are asking for participation in this committee to develop the best plan for making this possible.

Re-occurring for the second year, we will have the Ladies shoot on 5/2, this takes a ton of volunteers to facilitate, especially NRA instructors keep an eye out for committee meetings starting in the new year. The One Wish Poker Run fundraiser is 5/16 if you are interested in helping with this wonderful effort, watch for committee meetings in the new year.

                Here is a quick list of the annual events:

• Trout Rodeo 5/9
• Bash 9/13
• Breakfasts
• Dinners
• Shooting Events 

             (All listed on the calendar and web site)

                We always need help with Wednesday work days this is where much of the property maintenance grass cutting and wood cutting gets done. Trustees also need help with field planting, tree stand maintenance, building maintenance, pond maintenance, etc.

                In Summary lets work together to keep Cushion Peak Rod and Gun club on a short list of the most prestigious gun clubs!

Thank you,

Lee Bachman
