Thursday Help Needed

I’m looking for people interested in spending a little time on the range this Thursday. A dumpster for Sunday’s work party will be delivered inside the range area sometime Thursday. All that will need to be done will be to direct the driver to leave it in the correct location. I’ll give 2 hours of service for each half day (for less than 10 minutes light labor). Ideally, I’d like a volunteer to be at the range in the morning and one in the afternoon. I’d like the morning person there NLT 830 and the afternoon person leave no earlier than 3 (or until the dumpster is delivered). I will get a call 30 minutes prior, but I live more than an hour away. If you live close by the club, and can be on standby (for half or whole day), that would be great as well. I will coordinate the desired location, phone numbers and names after I get the volunteers. If you’re able to help out, please contact me at [email protected]. Thanks, Art Schoner ASC XO

WORK PARTY!

We’ll have our spring frame and Bowling Pin Table work party this coming Saturday February 26th at 10:00. We will build 7 bowling pin tables and replace the SRB target frames. Some other frames require some repair, but not replacement. We will need at least one table saw to rip the lower cross member of the frames. Some miter saws and drills/drivers should do the rest. If you have Torx drivers, bring T20 through T30. We will be working on the 50-yard range and the hundred will remain open, except for time to retrieve and replace frames for repair. Given sufficient turn out we should be done by noon. I also need volunteers to get service hours for shooting! The wood for the work above will be delivered sometime Friday. I won’t know more about scheduling until late Thursday or Friday morning. I’d like 2 volunteers to cover all day Friday. One from 8 until 12, and the other from 12 until 4. You’re free to shoot, or just lounge around. I just need the range open and someone to accept the delivery. If you’re interested, please contact me via email at [email protected]. Thanks, and see you on the range. …

One Person Needed for a Work Party

We are in the process of installing a cell phone repeater to provide emergency cell phone service to rifle/handgun range area. We need one volunteer who is comfortable, and capable of, working in tight spaces. The work involves entering the restroom building attic to install the electronics and an interior antenna and also running a cable to the far end of the building. (The air handler and ducting are up there making things a little tight.) Work will start at 10:00 Saturday morning and we should be done within 2 hours. If you are interested, please send me your name and phone number in an email at [email protected].

XO’s Resource Survey

As XO, I’m responsible for range maintenance, organizing work parties, and managing any new construction projects. For future tasks I’d like to be able to save club funds and do things in house to the largest extent possible. This will also help enable members to fulfill their service hours requirements. In order to facilitate this, I’m trying to gather and organize some data about our members. I’d like each member to complete the survey linked below to provide information on: Skills: Please list any professional or personal skills you have. Please be liberal with your responses. Things I’m looking for include, but are certainly not limited to, tradesmen, surveyor, draftsman, and heavy equipment operator. Equipment: Please list any uncommon equipment you have that might help in any of our projects. While many of us may have a manual post hole digger, a power post hole digger is the kind of tool I’d like to know about. If you have any heavy equipment or tractors, please include them as well. Items like box blades and backhoes should be listed in the accessories/attachments. Even if you feel like you don’t have anything to detail, please take the survey. I’d like to get …
