News: As we head into spring and nicer weather, just a reminder to stay
hydrated while at the club…especially out on the walking courses. Easy to forget to hydrate
but we had an unfortunate situation just this past weekend.One of our members passed out
and 911 had to be called. After a day in the hospital I’m happy and relieved to report they are doing well. It can happen quickly. Also a reminder that ticks and poison ivy are back and can be found just feet off the trails. If you do happen to miss one of the backstops out on the walking courses, it might not be worth going after. Just a
heads-up on that. The big root-ball and tree trunk have been removed from just above the clubhouse entrance (thanks to board member Cliff for taking care of that problem) and we will be looking at fixing that area up and getting the benches reinstalled out front of the clubhouse soon. A couple new backstops are being added to the courses to give even more options and variety to our monthly shoots. We are slowly adding “camo” coverings to all the backstops so they don’t have that “black wall” feel behind the targets.
We are constantly looking for ways to make the club a better experience for members and monthly visitors. We have a great piece of property and making improvements large and small will keep the club moving in the right direction. Unfortunately in the last couple years after Covid we have seen a trend of some of the older clubs to lose members and close due to no help. Wapiti is going strong with what looks to be another great year for membership.
As spring gets going and summer is just around the corner everything around the club will start to grow.
Workdays are a chance for members to pitch in for the care of our club grounds. Come out and get your hands dirty even if it’s just once a year. Every little bit helps. Once again everyone enjoy the club, tell a friend…get a child involved in our great sport…they are the future. Happy Easter to everyone.
