The monthly meeting of the SBRGA was held on Tuesday, February 23rd 2010. Two newly promoted Eagle Scouts from Troop 338 gave visual presentations of their Eagle Scout projects. For a description of their projects you can go to Troop338Maine.org and click on the link for their projects. Congratulations to our new Eagle Scouts! Parts for the new entrance gate are reported to still be on backorder. Upon completion of the gate all members will be required to attend an orientation for the operation of the gate and be issued a new photo membership card. Eleven new members were voted into the club.

Range Safety Orientation was held on Saturday, February 27th. Eight new members attended the orientation and were given their membership cards. The work party scheduled for the same day consisted mostly of assessing the damage caused by the February 25th wind storms. A few trees were down and both trap scoring booths were blown over. The lights mounted on the roofs were destroyed. Work has begun to repair the booths. The next work party is scheduled for Saturday, March 27th at 9am. We could use some plywood scraps for the rifle range. Also,if anyone could bring a circular saw it would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that participants of the work party may deduct $2 per hour worked off their next year's membership dues up to a maximum of 15 hours. We appreciate all the work done by volunteers to keep our facility operating in a safe and enjoyable manner.

Preparation has begun for the Strawberry Festival and Spring Raffle. A commitee chairperson has been appointed and we are seeking volunteers to assist in this important fundraising event. Anyone that can contribute a little time please send an email to the webmaster or contact a club officer.

The next regular meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 23rd 2010 at 7:30pm at the clubhouse. All members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
