SDC Minutes

September 18, 2010

The September meeting was held in Graham, Florida at the Bradford Sportsmen’s Farm. It followed a Sporting Clays Tournament which was a fundraiser for our club charity, The Hometown Veteran’s Assist. There were 19 members present and Michael Scarabino even competed in the event.

The first order of business was a brisk sale of last year’s State Meet t-shirts. They are now on sale for $5.00 each and we still have 10 small and 7 youth large t-shirts as well as red, black and blue club hats. They will be on sale again at the State Meet in Crawfordville.

Treasurer’s Report: We now have $xx.xx in our account.

Many thanks to Bob Oakes who noticed that we have many honorary members (himself included) and decided to make a donation to the club to pad our account. Every dollar is appreciated!

The State Meet is just 5 weeks away. The Meet Hotel is now full but there are rooms available at a hotel close by (details to follow). Please don’t forget to register for the meet. On September 29, George Klutkowski wrote that they have received 65 registrations and that 99 of the 120 people registered bought banquet tickets. Please join us in supporting our newest state club as they host their first State Meet.

Thanks were given to the Hometown Veteran’s Assist for inviting us to this event. Stephen reported that the charity raised almost $24,000 at the second annual banquet and auction on September 14.

John Pruden, an Iraqi Veteran, lost a leg to an IED. He is married and has 2 children. Many thanks to John who donated his winnings to the Hometown Veteran’s Assist. With our club’s donation,  the charity received $293.
