Well, the calendar year has ended and the club membership year is also quickly coming to a close.  The past year has been a good year for MCSSA.  A skeet house was finished, the outside of the club house has been partly redone.  A window that had been leaking badly for a long time was replaced, one of the bathrooms has been remodeled, and some painting has been done.  We also added a new metal building for storage.  The county helped us greatly this last year by filling in the potholes in the road, running us a new larger water line down to the club house, installing a fire hydrant, and redoing the plumbing in the restrooms.  It would be hard to name all that has been done, both big and small items, this year to improve our shooting facilities.  The officers and board of directors would like to say thank you to our members for helping to make MCSSA a shooting facility that we can take pride in.

     As was mentioned the club year is quickly drawing to a close so there are a few things to keep in mind.

·         If you are a working member and have not completed all your work days, then you are running out of weekends to get that done.

·         If you do not get all of your workdays completed then when you renew your membership you will need to pay for all workdays not completed.

·         If you have completed all you workdays and have sufficient range master credits you may apply those to next year’s membership.
