RR & GC MAY NEWSLETTER - 2015 Roseburg Rod & Gun Club 875 Old Del Rio Road Roseburg Oregon 97471 CLUB UPDATE Earl Skonberg - 541.229.2700 John Feeback, Facilities Maintenance Chairman and club volunteer, has given notice and will be moving out of state in mid-may to be closer to family. John, a former President, Vice President and current board member has been a major force in the management and upkeep of the club for the past 9-10 years. His overall knowledge of club operations, keeping the grounds looking like a park and his expertise in equipment maintenance can never be replaced. He played an integral part in maintaining our partnership with the Douglas County Sheriff Department Inmate Program, which has kept our dues affordable. I, along with the Board of Directors, wish him the best and cannot thank him enough for the thousand of hours and effort he put into making this club what it is today. He will be missed! of the host families and a chance to learn about shotguns and attend a safety class instructed by Mark Anderson, Trap Chairman. All were given an opportunity to shoot several types of shotguns and learn trap-shooting techniques. The group departed at 2:00 p.m. (with a smile on their faces) for a wrestling demonstration that afternoon in Bend, another overnight stay, and then on to several northern Oregon High Schools before returning to NZ. I am sure they will not soon forget the hospitality Roseburg, RHS and our club provided them during their short visit. I thank all the volunteers for their support for this unscheduled and unprecedented event and believe they enjoyed it as much as the kids did. The club was asked to host a one-day event for the visiting 2015 New Zealand Cultural Exchange High School Wrestling team on a tour of Oregon. With Board approval we invited the group for a hands-on black powder demonstration on April 1 st. The 14-member team, ranging in ages from 14 to 18, arrived in Portland after a 12-hour non-stop flight; an overnight stay and arrived in Roseburg for an early morning tour of Roseburg High School and to meet their counterpart wrestling team. Accompanied by a coach, two parents, and three members of the RHS wrestling team, they were bused to the club where volunteers from the black powder discipline put on a demonstration of early firearms used in the development of both their country and ours. After a brief introduction to the club by Kerry Boak, team members were split into pairs and given the opportunity to shoot a variety of firearms. Their excitement was electrifying! They also got to experience a demonstration of Axe-throwing and an opportunity to try to perfect their own skills. At noon, they were bused to the clubhouse for lunch provided by several Membership renewal applications for the coming year (2015/2016) will be mailed by June 1, 2015. I encourage everyone to send in his or her dues by the July 1 st deadline. Due to the fact that some members tend to pay their dues late each year, the Board decided that those paying after the deadline this year will have their gate codes disabled on August 1, 2015. Reactivating codes requires a considerable amount of time, so please be patient if you should lose access to your club for a while.
