Community Service in their Sites

It was only a few hours after receiving their charter certificate and community service award that the Dirty Dozen Shooting Sports 4-H Club members hit the range and completed their community service project for this year.

The town of Fairmont allows the club to use their firing range for club meetings and shooting practice. This morning the club members went out and pulled weeds, policed brass, raked the burm and picked up trash trying to give back to the town and show that they care about maintaining this facility.

While the members were busy with their community service project the parents were busy with paperwork. Since this was the first meeting for the club in the new club year they were busy talking schedules, activities and making sure all the club paperwork was up to date.

After the project and cleaning the youth, parents and volunteers enjoyed a picnic with hamburgers off the grill (thanks to their club leader) and all the sides. The next meeting will be in December and will be a field trip to see legendary sharp shooter Tom Knapp at the Annie Oakley boom days.
