Current Newsletter - NKSSA

Meet at the range at 11 am (or whenever you can get there.) We will break for a pot luck lunch and short meeting around 1 pm.  Bring your favorite picnic items to share. We will work on the range, getting it ready for silhouette and our other upcoming events.

After we work on the range, it will be open for any of the workers who would like to shoot. Anyone who works on the range can shoot for free.

 

Immediately following our work day and lunch (approximately 2 pm) we will be holding a “stop the bleed” first aid  class in the clubhouse.  All RSOs are strongly encouraged to attend.  This class is open to all members and guests free of charge, however the instructor is asking for a small donation to “Soldier’s Angels” which is a non-profit similar to Wounded Warriors.  This class is not a certified Red Cross class and is for informational purposes only.

All current RSOs will receive a trauma kit free of charge.  Anyone else who is interested can purchase one at our cost.
