2018 Membership Renewals
The WSC 2018 membership renewal drive has ended. 2018 dues were due by the end of January 2018, and two EMail reminders were sent to those in arrears. Dues rates increased from 2017 – member/spouse: $150/$75 each; senior/senior-spouse: $75/$37.50 each. The work assessment remained unchanged: $50 in lieu of 4 hours per family. Similarly, the late payment fee remained set at $25.00 for dues still outstanding.
Membership was terminated for any member whose dues remained unpaid by June 30th, and can only be restored by the full interview process (and payment of initiation fees). For more information, please contact the .
Access cards were disabled at the end of February for members whose dues weren’t paid-up. Only members in good standing now have access to club facilities. In particular, the new password for clubhouse WiFi/and members-only web pages was EMailed to paid-up members on Wednesday, March 7th.
We still have Life memberships available if you’re interested – no more renewal forms or sending payments in year after year.
Reasons for Dues Increase

Have a Happy Independence Day week and come to the general meeting a week later, prepared to enjoy Pizza or a Sub for dinner.
Mass Gun Laws by and for Non-Lawyers, Sat, May 12, 2018
(How To Stay Legal and Out of Trouble)
Save the date! Noted gun instructor Len Segal presents an all-day class for laymen.
A 6+ hour exploration of Massachusetts gun laws including ample time for your questions and answers. (NOTE: This is NOT the same material you received in a Basic Firearms Class, it is a lot more comprehensive than that).
We are taking registrations to ensure that we don’t exceed the 75-student attendance cap. At least 40 students have already registered, so if you are going to attend, send the Webmaster your name, town, EMail, phone, WSC membership status, and whether you grant Len permission to retain your info for remedial messages (not for marketing).
This class exposes the rumors and presents the facts:

Outdoor Range Access Road Reopened
Thanks to a run of dry weather, the roads and parking areas at the WSC which had been closed for mud season are now open again. Vehicles can once again be driven past the pond and parked by the outdoor ranges and the Sporting Clays trailer. As always, travel with care just in case the odd wet spot or low-hanging branch persist. This is just in time for the April 6th changeover to Spring/Summer Sporting Clays on Saturday mornings.
Questions to the President.
Indoor range reopened
The WSC indoor range is once again open for use. The exhaust system has been fixed. Thank you all for your patience and understanding that your safety comes first.
Questions to the Indoor Range chair.

DJ, Raffles, Finger Foods and most of all helping two great people!
From Lisa: In March of 2017, after 40 years of diabetes, insulin and medications, we learned that Dave was in End Stage Renal Failure. His kidneys had failed.
So let’s help Dave & Lisa so they can focus on getting Dave well and not have to worry so much about the money. And to show them they aren’t in this fight alone!
We are asking everyone to donate a gas or grocery gift card for a minimum of $10 or make a $10 cash donation at the door! And if you can’t make it to the VFW hall that night, please consider contributing at Dave’s YouCaring.com fundraising page.
Lisa continues: In April, we visited Mass General Hospital and learned from the transplant team what this journey truly entails. Continue reading
