GIRLS AND GUNS HAVING FUN AGAIN!

The Izaak Walton League’s Wildlife Achievement Chapter in Damascus has invited Republican Women’s Club members to its “Girls and Guns Having Fun” event on Sunday, April 30, 12 noon to 2 pm. Participants will learn handgun safety and target shooting skills under the supervision of qualified range safety officers in a bucolic country setting.  The event is free with firearms, ammo, eye and ear protection, and instruction provided by IWLA specifically for women who may never have fired a gun or who want to brush up on their skills.  To sign up, email Cherie Aker at cherie.aker@gmail.com.

You may bring your own firearm and ammunition, if you wish, along with eye and ear protection if you have it.  Also, bring a folding chair if you have one.  Bottled water and snacks will be available.
