To all MVGC members: Many of you don't realize that the staff that runs your club is completely volunteer. No Officers are paid for their efforts and many put in quite a serious amount of time. Hence, there will usually not be anyone there to help you with problems during the day, we're all off working. The best time to reach a live body is on Wed.evenings from about 7-9 pm. For new membership questions ask for Bob Terrell or Rich Sica. For Pistol School ask for John Barry. For problems with your membership billing or your key card ask for Dave Joy. Remember dues bills for 2011 went out in early Sept. If your key card isn't working first make sure you paid your dues!

Director Jim Limardo with a LOT of candles on his cake
Swearing in the Club Officers at the 2011 Annual Meeting
RIP Jack Kelly
It is with extreme sadness that we inform the membership of the passing of MVGC Director John ‘Jack” Kelly. Jack passed away Jan 14th from complications of lung disease. He was a club member since 1986 and had served as a club Director for over 10 years. Jack was the 2010 recipient of the Henry Gray Memorial Award, given annually to a member that displays outstanding commitment and dedication to the Mystic Valley Gun Club. Jack's latest contribution to the club was to design, send out to bid and oversee the installation of the new ramp and railings installed in the front of the club. Jack was also heavily involved in the New Membership Committee, many newer members will recognize Jack and his friendly and welcoming smile from his efforts in that regard. A finer man and nicer person never walked the face of the earth. Jack Kelly was only 71 years young. RIP Jack Kelly, you will be missed by us all.
