Presidents Report Presidents Report - January 2010 As
I
look
out
the
window
at
the
snow
in
my
back
yard
it’s
hard
to
believe
that in about 3 months we will be out on the range shooting
again. With
that in mind I would like everyone to know the executive of SAWWS is
working
behind the scenes to get every thing set up and ready for our upcoming
season. It’s all the hard work they put
in over the winter that make the shoots run smooth over the summer and
I want
to give each of them a pat on the back. This
winter
SAWWS
put
on
its
first
annual
Xmas
party
complete
with
a
wonderful
potluck
turkey
supper. A big
thank you from all of us to Granny Oakley and Ginger Lee for the hard
work they
did to pull it off. Thanks also go out
to the approximately 20 folks who attended and brought food, everyone
ate their
fill and we had just a bit left over. Between
the
brass
bags
Granny
made
for
everyone
and
the
gift
exchange
a
great
time
was
had
by all. The highlight
of the night was a piece of cowboy poetry written and recited by Ken
Granberg. His poem entitled “Roy Rogers
and Me” took me
back to my time on the farm back in the mid 50’s. I’m
sure
that
I
wasn’t
the
only
one
in
the
room
with
a
lump
in
my
throat
and a bit of moisture at the corner of my
eye. Here is the poem as he recited it. We
have
confirmed
some
of
the
shoot
dates
and
activities
for
2010,
we
will
be
doing
2
shoots in Saskatoon again this year. Other
requests
to
help new clubs host shoots
have been coming in so keep an eye on the web site for updates as they
are
confirmed. Grey
