Ground Maintenance If anyone would like to mow the grounds or use any of the equipment in the shelter, please contact Jake Bise or Ben Kelkye to get an understanding how to use the equipment. Equipment has been inadvertently damaged due to inexperience of operation of the equipment. Board Meeting Reminder The Chapter Board of Directors meets each month just prior to the regular Membership Meeting. Members are welcome and encouraged to observe these open meetings which address the business of the Chapter. However, for the Board to effectively and efficiently conduct the meetings, members may not interact with the Board during the meetings. Members may bring up any issues they may have during the Membership Meeting. Thank you for your understanding. Friday Shotgun Monthly every 2nd and 4th Fridays, are for shotgun practice. (must attend an update range rules for shotgun shooting if you have not done that already) Any questions please contact Ben Kelkye. Grounds Maintenance We rely on the efforts of our members to maintain the Chapter's property, and this is a good way to satisfy some or all of your work requirements. If the grass needs mowing and you have the time, please cut it. The mowers and trimmers are in the shed and the lock code is the same as for the gate. In addition to recording your time on your work hour's card, please use the clipboard in the shed to report all of your work hours and to report the status of any equipment needing maintenance or repairs. Courses The full schedule of courses to be conducted at the Chapter house for the year 2022 has been posted online at the Chapter website at FrederickIWLA Training Schedule 2022, This training is conducted to support the Youth Program, and not all courses are endorsed or promoted by the Chapter. However, certain courses are required for members to use the range and hunt on Chapter property. The schedules are posted for the convenience of members in determining the expected status of the range at a particular time, and for selecting courses they may be interested in. Contact Ben Kelkye if you have any questions about the schedule or courses. Range Status The range is currently open as usual for members to use. Please remember that every Friday is reserved for Special Activities. Before heading to the range, members should always check the Calendar of Events under the Events tab on the Chapter website for current range status information. Range use is occasionally limited due to training classes and other events. Any guest using the range must be supervised by a Chapter member with Range Safety Officer credentials. A fee of $5.00 for each guest is to be paid at the donation box under the sign-in box. Only one bench may be used by the member and guest. The same guest may visit the range only two times a year. The guest fee and two-visit limit do not apply to the immediate family of members. |
