Chillicothe Sportsmen s Club Sight Picture September 2014 New Members: Lest We Forget - Enough Said Rodney Baker, William Bond, Brandon Cotellesco, Charles Egley, Brian Hunter, Paul McCaw, Brian Varcoe, Andrew Venturella, Nicholas Watson We welcome you to your club, and hope you enjoy your activities on the grounds. From Our Club President: I have accepted an offer from a firearm s manufacturing company based in a southern state to join their firm and will be moving before the end of this year. Although I will not miss Illinois, its numerous idiotic politicians, or the vicious winters, I will miss my friends and those who comprise the Chillicothe Sportsmen's Club. I have been a member for around 20 years, with four years on the Board of Directors and three years as president (2012 2014).
It has truly been an honor to serve on the board of directors and as president. We have some outstanding talent both on the board and among the ranks of our match directors, and collectively we possess a tremendous amount of forward momentum. I feel that together we have made significant progress during the past several years that is currently benefiting the membership and will continue to do so for years to come. We have a number of other projects planned for the future that will make our organization shine even brighter. Running and maintaining the club is a costly and involved endeavor that requires a lot of effort. It is also a personally rewarding experience. In order to maintain our successes and future vision, you must get involved. It's a sad but undeniable fact that many of our key players are getting along in years and will not be able to continue their present activities in years to come. The CSC will not survive without your participation. If you'd like to help preserve your organization for your sons and daughters, please contact any board member. Please don't sit back and think that 'someone else' will step up to the plate. YOU are the key to our organization's future success. Upon moving, our vice president, Derek Howald, will assume the role of president for the remainder of the year. Because Derek possesses the ability, drive and vision to help move our club forward, I hope that he will seek the presidency for 2015. If he does, I ask that you offer your support by voting for him during the annual meeting in November. Although my personal email address is going to change once I head south, my current phone number as listed within the CSC website will not. Once I have a new email address I will forward it to my friends. Keep up the great work, and God bless.

The Care Of Our Club Road: We would like to remind our members and guests that the road into our club is not the Dan Ryan expressway. It is posted at 20 mph for a very good reason. We have a substantial investment in this asset. It is not asphalt, and driving too fast will cause it to washboard. We thank you for your cooperation. Planning Team Update: Check out the new addition to the range house, this will better serve our members. Next are upgrades to the club roads and a major upgrade to range 7.
