WELCOME BACK! 2009-10 year is underway
I hope everyone had a great summer and school is going good. Remember at the start of every year to join 4-H at your local school or community club to be able to participate in the shooting sports club.
We have planned a great year with new opportunities, new shooting equipment, and maybe the start of a new league for some of our shooters. Our 4-Hers did excellent during the summer competing at national contest.
Instructors Needed!!
There will be a shooting sports instructor training on Saturday, October 3rd, 8:00a.m. at the 4-H office. They only have this training in the Lake Charles area once a year, so please take advantage of this opportunity. It’s FREE, if you agree to help us at our club days once a month. We need more rifle, archery, muzzleloader, and coordinators to help continue the success the program has had and to offer more opportunities to our youth. If you have any questions about becoming an instructor or know of someone who can help please contact me or Cathy LeJeune, A flyer and job description is attached below.
1st Club day September 26th for last year’s members
The instructors have set their first club day for this year on Saturday, September 26th, 8:30 a.m. at the Gun Range. This club day is only for older members from last year’s club. Other club dates are posted on the web site. We look forward to starting a new year. You can also join this year’s shooting sports club at this first shoot. We need a new health form, registration form along with $20 for shotgun or $15 for other disciplines. A link to the forms is included. http://www.lsuagcenter.com/en/our_offices/parishes/Calcasieu/Features/4-H/forms/
