Thanks to the 19 members who participated. This was our best turnout. Everything looks great. New gutters have been installed on both the Lake pavilion and the Pistol Range. New gutters will be installed at the rifle range next week.
 
Ladies Night at the Pistol Range
Thursday evenings from 6pm until 8pm. Members feel free to bring a guest ($10 guest fee required).
 
Report from Sue on last light’s shoot:
 
“Our First Ladies Night at the Pistol Range this summer was very well attended. We had seven attendees including four members who came for the first time. It was so nice to meet everyone and looking forward to future Thursdays.

Ticks
Be aware that ticks are common in Ohio. Our Club is no exception. A member reported that he found one on his dog after visiting the lake. Please use spray (containing permethrin) and check for ticks whenever you have been outdoors. The ODNR website has information on identification and prevention that is very helpful.
