Strawberry Blast Success and Wounded Warrior Donation

Hello Everyone

Thanks for another great shoot at Vernon National. There were many new faces and we more than doubled the number of NSCA shooters in our second registered event. Let's keep the monthly shoots growing, the more the merrier. For those not sure; you do not have to be a registered shooter to enjoy our registered events, they are run just like our regular fun shoots. Attached are the scores and payouts from the 2nd Annual Strawberry Blast. If you were not present for the awards and payouts let me know if you want your prizes mailed or saved at the club for your next visit.

A special thanks to Dickson Perez and Ramon Perez for driving all the way from New Jersey to accept the donation to the Wounded Warrior Project. The event generated $6,150 in its first year and we are preparing for next year already. Hope your ride home was a little easier than the ride to VNSP in the morning.

See everyone soon,
-Jason

The Wounded Warrior Project Shoot was a Success!

Hello Everyone,

I will start by saying thank you to every single person, family member, friend, shooter, member, organization, business and company that donated their time, products and hearts. VNSP could not have done this without your help. Our number one goal was to raise funds for a great organization called the Wounded Warrior Project. In addition, we wanted to build awareness of the organization and the great things they do for our service men and women. My personal goal from day one was to raise at least five thousand dollars. Thanks to everyone's help we exceeded my goal and raised more than six thousand dollars!!! We are currently scheduling a date with the Wounded Warrior Project to present the donation to them. Tentatively, we are planning on June 21st, as this is the day of our next event at VNSP, a 100 bird shoot. I will let everyone know the date and time for the presentation as soon as it is finalized.

The 1st annual event was a great success. It was a pleasure meeting the great veterans that attended the event as well as other new shooters to VNSP. Thank you to Senator Griffo and County Executive Picente for taking the time to join us well. Thanks to the veterans that assisted us in the 21 gun salute. Thank you to News 10 Now for their coverage of the event.

I for one can't wait for next year and many others have asked to participate again already. Our goals for next year are to increase the donation and to improve upon the overall organization of the event. I also want to thank everyone for their kind comments and constructive feedback which will help us to achieve our goals.

See everyone soon,
-Jason
