‘Tis the Season of Good Spirits and Cheer. So, I will start off with an old Irish Blessing;

Enough

May your joys be bright as the morning,
And your sorrows merely shadows that fade
May you have enough happiness to keep you sweet
Enough trials to keep you strong
Enough sorrows to keep you human
Enough hope to keep you happy
Enough failure to keep you humble
Enough success to keep you eager
Enough friends to give you comfort
Enough faith and courage in yourself to banish sadness
Enough wealth to meet your needs
And one thing more:
Enough determination to make each day a more wonderful day than the day before.

There are some things that we just can’t get enough of and the November match is one of them. T.A. & Mist Chance put on a really great match for us in celebrating their 50^th Wedding Anniversary. Not only did they share their very special day with us, they designed each stage so that we were able to share some insights of other special events leading up to their anniversary. I feel I can speak for all of the 100 plus attendees when I say “Thank You!” to T.A. & Mist Chance.

T.A. & Mist Chance wanted me to convey their Thanks to everyone in attendance. All in all it was a good time for all.

We will be starting our membership sign-ups for 2012 this month at the December match. It is still $12.00 individual and $18.00 for family. I was also notified that there may be a few extra shotgun rounds needed for the December match so you should probably bring an extra box (or two) of shotgun shells. Please pass this on to those that are not on the mailing list (and those that are but may not read it) Sign-up will start around 8 a.m. and the Safety Meeting will start at 9 a.m. on Saturday December the 17^th.

Another item of note is that we will be having a 2day match in February on the 18^th and the 19^th. This will be after the Annual Match for the Tombstone Ghostriders and just before Winter Range.

Well, it has been a year of trials and tribulations. Some of us have met and or exceeded some goals and fell a little shy on others. Take the time to tell your family and friends just how much you appreciate all that they do. ENJOY their company if you can and say your prayers for those standing tall for us in harms way. Take Good Care. OCE
