🎣 Encouraged by Member Response 🦆
Club members, Bruce Komerak and Kevin Bullock, have taken on a special mission to support youth in our community who share a love for the outdoors.
🦆🦆🎣🦆🦆
Bruce and Kevin hold several firearms raffles thru-out the year to work towards their goal of providing ten (10) lifetime hunting or fishing licenses for local youth.
🎣🎣🦆🎣🎣
Their dedication is a great example of how members of our club continue to invest in the future of outdoor traditions and conservation. Thank you, Bruce and Kevin, for your continued efforts.
