Here is a chance for service hours if you still need some(this workday is before the end of March so hours should apply to the current membership year), or if you want to help out the 4H center. From Bubba at the 4H Center, mulch will be spread so pitch forks and square point shovels will be needed. Loppers for cutting brush and a chainsaw or two would be nice as the center has a log splitter and they need some longer logs cut up. I am sure a good general cleanup will occur also so maybe a leaf blower or 2 would’nt hurt. I will not be at the work party and I am not sure if any board members will be there either. If you decide to show up please sign in and out at the center and let them know you are a ASC member, please write your member number down, as I am sure that Kathy will ensure that the club gets a list of ASC volunteers.

On Saturday, April 11th, 2026 from 10am-12pm, the Holiday Lake 4-H Teen Leadership Council (TLC) decided on Airfield as the location for their meeting and requested (rented) the 50 & SRB Ranges for their training. This will be a good way to show Holiday Lake what a great facility we have. We need two awesome people to set up the 50/SRB range and be RSO for this group. If you’re interested, please contact Brenda Norton at [email protected] for more details and to volunteer.
From the Board: “Members, do not submit any payments for 2026 dues until you get an email from the secretary telling you how much you owe. If you submit payments before those emails go out they will just be returned to your card and you will have to pay again when the bill does go out. If for any reason you think you have a bad email on file then contact [email protected] or email [email protected]. If you suddenly find your email and realize you never paid 2025, contact the secretary BEFORE submitting any funds. At best, your amount will be wrong because it did not include the late fee and if you waited too long you may have to go through a different process to renew. Any funds you send prior to conversation with the secretary will be returned to the card you made the payment on and you will have to go through the repayment once you have the correct amount.” Cory AKA The MO

Our very own Ken Bowra has been nominated for the upcoming NRA Board Elections. I asked Ken to provide me with something to put out to the AASC membership on his thoughts and vision for the NRA: As discussed, I am a candidate with the NRA 2.0 Reform Group. https://electanewnra.com/ We believe the governing of the NRA should be based on integrity and transparency. We will continue to fight for the 2nd Amendment and bring the NRA back to its mission of creating and supporting shooting programs, competitive shooting, and furthering firearms safety and education. Our goal is to bring the NRA back to the mission and core values that made it the great organization it once was. The reform movement has gotten rid of everyone who was associated with past issues and put in place safeguards like financial transparency to stop it from happening again. Bottom line: The reform movement within the NRA is committed to restoring financial transparency, fiscal accountability and getting the NRA refocused on its core mission of defending the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights. 2026 NRA Board of Directors Election MG Ken Bowra Bio For NRA
