MGC eshooter December 15, 2011 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year The Board of Directors, Mark, Erin and family would like to wish all of our members and guests the very best this Holiday Season. Also, we would like to thank you for your support and patronage this past year. We had great league participation this summer and the registered shoots were well attended, weather permitting. We are very fortunate to have such a nice Club to be able to spend time at with our friends and family. The Club will again be hosting our Holiday party on January 1st. The Club will be providing the main entrée, bone-in ham or roast beef. Everybody is encouraged to bring a dish to pass and if this year is like years past there will be an outstanding array of great appetizers, soups, hors d oeuvres and desserts. Really, really good deserts. The party will start at 10:00 AM and go until 4:00 PM. Mark will have some shooting games on the schedule and we ll hand out some door prizes. If you can, plan on attending and be sure to bring your appetite, you won t go away hungry. Also at the Holiday party we will be honoring the recipient of the 2011 MGC Puller Scholarship Award, Patrick Rose. The party is always a great time, so, if you can, plan on attending. www.mplsgunclub.com 20006 Judicial Rd, Prior Lake, MN 55372, 952-469-4386 1

The MGC Pullers Scholarship Fund Every year our trap employees are eligible for a $1000.00 award to further their education. This fund is totally dependent on contributions from our membership. This year, to boost the fund, we are raffling off a very nice Shamrock Leather shooting bag and some other very nice prizes. It is on display now and we will have the drawing at the Holiday Party. You don t need to be present to win and can call to purchase tickets. We have been very fortunate to have some outstanding young people work at our club over the years and any donations for this fund stays earmarked for the fund. With your help we can continue this for many years to come. MGC STOCK FOR SALE MGC STOCK is for sale for $100.00 per share. When you buy stock in the club you are showing your support and helping the club make Capital Improvements. All the monies collected are earmarked to make the major improvements that the club needs over time. This summer we will be replacing the septic system and putting a roof on the manager s house. This support also helps us to keep the cost of running the club low so we can hold our prices down. Please consider purchasing stock in the Club. Component Sale Yes, we will be having our annual component sale again this year. Start getting your list together and we ll have more information in the next newsletter. www.mplsgunclub.com 20006 Judicial Rd, Prior Lake, MN 55372, 952-469-4386 3
