Jerry...you are a born leader. That's why you were chosen to coordinate and oversee setting up new clubs.
Enjoyed seeing the pictures...and now you're off and running with a new avocation. You are a good man for tackling this program which will bring a lot of satisfaction and joy to the lives of a lot of youth in your state of Illinois.
Thats awesome Jerry! Great pictures, I know you will do great at this and you will be introducing young shooters to a great sport! We NEED as many future shooters as we can get!

Hey CH,
If you know anyone who may be interested, I can hook you up with the Sangamon/Menard Coordintor. I'm not sure if there are instructors for Sangamon/Menard yet, but i was in class with the coordiantor.
Were off to a cautious beginning as there are some questions still to be answerd and more people need to go to class to be certified.
I wish I had more time to do something like that Jerry! 4-H has come along way since my youth when I showed our prized farm goats LMAO... never won anything! LOL I did win 2nd place with a barn cat I entered one time though HA! was probably only 2 of us entering! J/K
4H is a great program and I am pleased to hear you are involved, I think once I am through school I may just get involved too!
I am setting up a range at my house on sunday to dial in some deer guns for upcoming season and may do some tree rat hunting now that the leaves are falling finally. You are more than welcome if you want to come over. I was in Peoria last friday at VA, was going to hit Pekin gun but they dialated my eyes for exam and I just felt like going home after!
Take it easy... I will tell Jack you said hello!
Mike

I'm thrilled Jerry you will be working with kids. That is beyond great to me.
Kids miss out on so much that we took for granted when we were growing up.
May God Bless you for giveing of your time.
Be proud friend because your doing something good...Mike
I'll still get to work with instructors and kids.
