The proceeds go to the music department and the trip is worth $1000 dollars. tickets are $10 each and i have 10 tickets for this raffle. if anyone is interested, please let me know or email me-- Gary Davis

Gun Legislation-- At the gunshow we had a problem with our signs being taken down. This cost the club a bit but didn't wreck the overall outcome of the gunshow. I am sick to death of people messing with us so now its time for action. I am putting together a email campaign to start with. Myself and George Reyna will be visiting other clubs to get them to join us. I have contacted goal, Norfolk county league of sportsmen and gun owners of America to try to get people to help us. I am also asking for the clubs support. i need people to help me, and i need the rest of you to help put pressure on our legislators. otherwise, we might as well quit shooting right now.  Our rights as citizens of massachusetts are being violated and our second amendment rights are being violated and I'm tired of it!! what I'm asking is if i send out an email asking you to email legislators, I would like everyone to do it. I will provide a emailing list to all legislators.  Please support me in this cause. Its our right and I'm about to take the fight to them. thanks-- Gary Davis
