As the dawn of 2012 approaches, Lamoille Valley Fish and Game Club Members can reflect positively on the accomplishments of 2011. One of the fundamental goals of our club is to provide members with a safe shooting range in which events are to be held and to promote the safe and proper handling of fire arms. 2011, like most years, has lived up to this promise, providing events for marksman of almost any shooting discipline. This year, our club held regularly occurring military, skeet, archery, pistol and muzzleloader matches. The annual activities, such as the Gun show, Fishing Derby and Hunter Safety Course, have once again been very successful. Let us not forget about the great job done with our 4H shooters and the Youth Skeet league. The range and clubhouse has continued to buzz with current and future sportsman from all walks of life.

For any member that is in a position to volunteer some time, I strongly encourage you to step forward. Just reading through what has gone on during 2011 it is clear that we some individuals that have committed a great deal of time for the benefit of the club and its’ members. Not to mention the duties of the Officers, Club House Committee, Membership Committee, Legislative Committee, Range Schedule Committee and range maintenance. Many of these volunteers will often donate their own money when it comes to gas and supplies. It is easy to forget sometimes, but we must all remember that we are a member owned and operated club. Cleaning up, offering to help when activates are going on, or repairing something broken should be the collective responsibility of all the members that use the facilities. Donations are always welcome and encouraged for those of you that wish to help in that way. Sharing the burdens is the best way to diminish them.
