From what I understand, the pay is terrible but the benefits are outstanding!   O0

We've been studying (practicing) for the job application test (AQT). Maybe sometime we'll remember to cross our "T"'s, dot our "i"'s, and nail the bottom row of the test! On the previous job application we were knocking on the door (shooting high 190's and low 200's) but those guys on the bottom row kept moving on us!   :D

I'll be leaving some fliers at Watervliet along with some promotional redcoat targets (on 8.5"x11"). I'll also ask a board member or two or more to attend or at least come to watch.

FYI my offer still stands - free admission for up to three officers/directors.  I'll just need to know in advance if anyone is taking us up on the offer to inform the SB.

I guess there is no camping at this one since it is down south near the city.  Do you guys know a place close by?  At least it will be warmer down south.

madMark has sent an email to the club President asking about camping on-site for the weekend.  Barring that, most campgrounds in that area are closed for the season I believe.  Check out this KOA: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&expIds=17259,24813,25983,26637,27102,27113,27284,27356&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&cp=17&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=lake+george+ny+koa&fb=1&gl=us&hq=koa&hnear=Lake+George,+NY&cid=0,0,3303792134343965527&ei=wJrLTJTiLYP78AbD4dyNAQ&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=2&sqi=2&ved=0CB8QnwIwAQ - it's about a half hour from the range.  Another option would be for you to borrow our Chinook RV for the weekend...

As it turns out, I may not be able to come now after all but will see.  I did find a campsite about 45 minutes away.

The response we've received from the club President is that the town disapproved of folks camping at the club during other events and the practice was discontinued.  So camping on-site is out.
