and the AGC will investigate before any decision is made.

Editorials
A letter from the President
No letter from the President was received in time for publication
in this newsletter.
From the Secretary
I have continued to receive many copies of the newsletter back as undeliverable,
if you know someone in the club that says they did not get a newsletter,
please give them my name and address so we can get the information straight.
Remember, if you would like to receive your copy of the newsletter
electronically, please let me know at bz@iefurn.com for the next edition.
Don’t forget, this is your newsletter if you have something you want
included or if you have an ad to place in the classifieds make sure I get
the information by the 2nd Sunday after our meeting. That is my deadline
for publication.
New Web page Address
I hope you have had a chance to check out the information posted on
the web page. Sean works very hard keeping the information up to
date and it would be a shame if the club members did not take advantage
of this resource.

Fundraising
A club cannot survive without the money necessary to pay the expenses.
The price of membership dues is not always enough to cover the expenses
of maintaining the club. That does not even include any special events
that the club would like to hold. If you have a knack for fundraising
techniques or just a desire to become more involved in your club and would
like to take on this task, please call Stu.
Pistol Picnic
The Pistol Picnic will be held on July 22nd beginning at 10:00am at
the Pistol Range. The club will provide hot dogs, hamburgers, rolls,
chips, condiments and soft drinks. Everyone is invited to attend
and bring your family. Each family is asked to bring a covered dish
to share with the group. Jim will run a dueling match for any interested
shooters. It is a great day, weather permitting, and a nice way to
introduce family members to your sport. Mark you calendars and try
not to miss this event.

April Meeting Minutes
Once the Pledge of Allegiance had been said Stu made a couple of public
service announcements regarding other clubs at the range. Arlington
Rifle and Pistol Club is selling raffle tickets $2.00 each or 3 tickets
for $5.00. There are three prizes and the winners will have their
choice.
Arlington held their annual Food Bank Drive on April 22nd. The
turnout was good for the event and the money and canned goods collected
will be greatly appreciated. Thank you to all that helped.
Stuart asked me to remind everyone that the meetings will be called
to order promptly at 7:30pm and if you have a new member joining they should
arrive at 6:30 for the necessary range orientation.
The picnic scheduled for May has been cancelled due to a conflict with
the range availability.
The Stemmers Run Club ID cards are ready and will be mailed to anyone
that has not received their card at a meeting.
The range will be holding a Minority Day on June 23rd.
They need instructor volunteers to assist with the firing line. The
purpose of this event is to show the positive side of the shooting sports
and to hopefully spark an interest in new members. If you have some
free time on the 23rd, please let Del Cockey know. Del is checking
with the AGC to determine if the hours worked at this event will count
towards range badge credit.
The Maryland State Games will be held on July 28th and there is some
effort being made to shoot Summer Biathlon at Marriotsville. More
on that as the information becomes available. Del will be checking
on whether or not the hours worked at this event will count towards range
badge credit.
Stu issued a challenge to all members to recruit one new member each
by the September meeting. Let’s see what we can do to achieve his
goal.
