What is the GOAL Heritage Fund?

This fund created by our friends at GOAL was created to make monies available to the various gun clubs through out the state. This money is made available to individual clubs by way of a grant application.  In essence, what is created by all of us around the state thereby stays here in the state as a way to help various clubs build and update there own shooting facilities.

From The Desk of Board of Director Member Rick Kuzman:

(All statistics courtesy of the U.S. Dept of Health Human Services.)
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician are 0.171.
 
Now think about this:
 (These statistics courtesy of FBI.)

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million.)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.00188.

Therefore, statistically:

Doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."
 
FACT:
NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
 
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.  We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand.  Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Please Remember To Lock the Gate!

In an effort to eliminate or at least lessen recent vandalism, all members are reminded that it is the policy of this club for each member to lock the gate behind themselves  EACH TIME when entering as well as when exiting the club grounds.  Unless the event is open to the public, IF YOU OPEN IT YOU MUST LOCK IT!!

July Dinner Meeting a Great Success:

Congratulations go out to Joe “The Mechanic” Lojko who once again treated about forty plus members to his culinary expertise with a great chicken dinner.  Also joining our own “Iron Chef” in Cape Cod Fish and Game’s version of “Kitchen Stadium”  were John Newton, Dave Cormier and the unknown chef (Sorry dude, I didn’t write your name down in my notes.) Again, thank you gentlemen for your efforts in creating  “GOOD EATS”!  The club would also like to thank Bill Long for his helping out with ticket sales that evening.  Congratulations should also go to Bill Long as he won the 50/50 raffle that same night.

In Memoriam:

The club would like to extend it’s heartfelt condolences and sympathy to club member Ray Ertel and his family.  On July 19^th, Ray’s wife Camilla passed away after a period of declining health. A memorial service was held for Mrs. Ertel on July 26, 2007.
