FWRR Club Meeting<\/strong>
The next meeting of the Fort Wayne Rifle and Revolver Club will be held on Monday, August 1, 2022. Meeting Place: VFW Post 857, located at 2202 West Main Street in Fort Wayne. Meeting Time: 7:00 p.m. Agenda: Standard meeting format. In addition, Mike Grannis will be presenting some very interesting membership statistics. Food and drink are available at very reasonable prices before and after the meeting. Please make an effort to attend meetings, as a quorum is required to conduct club business. In June, poor meeting attendance prevented club business from being conducted. So, please make a special effort to attend the August meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omission<\/strong>
A list of members who participated in Cleanup Day activities was presented in the June newsletter. Three members were not able to attend in the morning. As a result, their names were inadvertently omitted from the listing. Those individuals\u2019 names are: Stefan Ashtary, Mark Wager, and John Wassell. John\u2019s grandson, Jackson, a non-member, also participated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


New Members<\/strong>
Please welcome the following new members who were accepted at the June, 2022 meeting; Scott Berning, a law enforcement officer who was sponsored by Tim Wunderlich, and Robert Klinkenberg, who works in the transportation industry and was sponsored by Doug Clark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Newsletter Delivery<\/strong>
Approximately 80% of the membership receives the newsletter via email. Those members who have email accounts and who currently opt for postal delivery are asked to consider receiving the newsletter via email next year. Doing so will save printing expenses (newsletter and mailing labels), postage, envelope cost, the time and fuel spent traveling to\/from the
printer, and the manual labor associated with stuffing, labeling, stamping, and mailing envelopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Maintenance Activities<\/strong>
Thanks go to Ted Smeltzer for mowing the ditch, to John Wassell et al for installing target frames in Pistol Bays 4 and 5, to John Halter for making improvements at the 300 yard benches, and to Gary Walker for weed killer application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Reminders<\/strong>
DO NOT HANDLE FIREARMS WHEN PERSONNEL ARE DOWN RANGE! Proper range etiquette involves opening actions, removing all ammunition from firearms, and stepping away from the firing line. MEMBERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BEHAVIOR AND ACTIONS OF THEIR GUESTS<\/strong>. Members may take a maximum of two guests to the range per visit, not counting family members. Do not take more guests and\/or family
members than you are able to directly supervise. If your guests or family members are new to the shooting sports, it is strongly recommended that the member refrain from shooting so that all of his\/her attention can be devoted to supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Water obtained from the hand pump and the cistern are not potable.
Please make certain to close the outhouse doors and to lower the toilet seat covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Mowing Schedule<\/strong>
The 2022 Mowing Schedule is available on the club\u2019s website. The mowing dates that are scheduled to occur before the October meeting are: 7\/27, 8\/10, 8\/24, 9\/7 and 9\/21. Dates are tentative, depending on weather and ground conditions. Mowing times vary according to volunteer availability. Efforts will be made to provide mowing date and time updates on
the website. The Main Range is closed during mowing and other range maintenance activities. Pistol Bays 4 and 5 remain open during mowing. It is recommended that members check the website for updates before traveling to the range.
