Historic Arms and Craft Show: The Historic Arms and Craft show will take place on March 11th and 12th at the Teutopolis KC Hall. We need all the help we can get to set up tables and chairs on Friday morning, and man the doors and register folks on both days. If you can help plase come. Ron and Shirley Nowlin are going to have chili for sale on Friday, and Alan Deters will bring Tuna salad for sandwiches for those practicing Lent. The KC's will sell pop on Friday and will have a fish fry Friday night. They will also have concessions on Saturday.
Frozen Asses Camp and Shoot: Only two camps this year at the frozen asses camp. TA and his group of motley creatures braved the snow and frigid temperatures. It looked like they had a good time.
Work Party: IT has been decided to have a work party on saturday, March 19th to get ready for spring rendezvous. Hopefully we will have some decent weather this time.
40th Annual Spring Rendezvous: This is really a milestone for the club. In addition to the regular shoot regimen, this year we are going back to earlier times to again have kids contests, a women's fun match and a travois race. Also, please either make or purchase a couple of prizes we can offer the shooting contestants on Sunday. In the past, we have been proud of our prizes offered, and I hope we can continue to please our shooters and guests. We will have candy for the kids, and prizes for the womens fun match and the travois race. if you can think of some other ideas we can have, call Steve Woods and let him know. We also need musicians for Saturday night, at least, so maybe we can have a bonfire in the middle of the camp and music like we have had in the past.
NMLRA One of 1000 Fund: Those of you memebers who are also members of the NMLRA not ethat the organization has incorperated a fund raiser for the national organization so that it can remain financially sound with the above name. Those who contribute $1000 are recongnized in the national magazine for their generosity. The club has decided that we would be a One of 1000 donor. We are therefore soliciting donations of $100 from at least 10 members, so that we as a club can be a supporter of the NMLRA fund. If we get enough extra, we may obtain a fancy powder horn such as Terry Methe makes, and raffle it off to only those who have contributed to the fund. If you need any further information, call Lyle Kruger.
