In Remembrance:
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with
deep sadness that we announce the untimely passing of our friend and fellow
club member Mr. John K. Bindis on Wednesday, November 19th. John resided in Catonsville, was an avid
shooter who joined Stemmers Run in 1996. John attended nearly every meeting
during his time with us and recently provided refreshments at our monthly
meetings. At our October meeting John volunteered to become our New Member
Chairman. John will be sorely missed by all of his friends, family
and club members. In keeping with
his family's wishes Stemmers Run will make a donation to the American Heart
Association. In last months mailer we announced John's volunteer effort with
the following excerpt: "We all thanked John for stepping forward to fill
this important position by giving him a thunderous round of applause."
Thanks again, John!

● Important notice to current badge
holders-the new 2004 range badges will be available for sale beginning at our
meeting and Christmas Holiday Party this coming Sunday evening. Total costs
will be $180 payable by cash or check.
● In a letter sent to all club presidents and secretaries from Del Cockey,
AGC VP and Stemmers Run member, it states that " no new member will receive a range badge
without orientation by an AGC committee member."
The committee is comprised of trained people
from various clubs that presently provide that orientation. The AGC is well
along in the course that will be a more comprehensive orientation for new
members. It encompasses a video, a complete explanation of range rules, and a
small quiz to assure that the new member understands the purpose and intent of
all range rules and procedures. Once completed the new member will receive
his/her badge. No exceptions!

● To stay busy these early winter months Stemmers Run Hi-power team members had been assisting the AGC with Hunter Sight-in throughout the November weekends. .Jay also announced that Stemmers Run would participate with other AGC clubs this winter to schedule and provide indoor Hi-Power Shooting clinics. As in the past, these teaching clinics are open to the public and provide an excellent opportunity for many of our members interested in this shooting discipline to get started. Dates and information will be available in time for our January, 2004 meeting.

Shotgun
Robin Meyer

● The AGC has again requested that Stemmers Run help supply volunteers to assist in running the trap range for a number of upcoming shoots. Stu would like to request that anyone with or without
trap range experience to pitch-in, the more experienced
members could get oriented in no time. We need at least 3 volunteers, so lets
show the AGC that Stemmers Run can do its part since all clubs in the AGC are
required to provide at least one team to man the trap facilities. Please,
contact Stu or Robin if you are interested in helping Stemmers and the AGC.
● Shotgun shooting is still going strong despite the bad weather we've been experiencing lately. Dedicated trap shooters can find something to do several times a week if they look hard enough:
Wednesday 10am Marriottsville
Wednesday 3pm Marriottsville
Wednesday pm North Carroll
Sunday Chambersburg, PA
