Gentleman:
Yesterday a site member, Jim, gave everyone a heads up that we will be getting a new site member in a few days.
Jim has befriended a family and they have a 10 year old named Jarrett who has huge interest in shooting and hunting.
I understand he's bagged his first deer this year!
Reading the thread Jim posted I realized we could all help steer this young man in the right direction as today's young men and women are tomorrows doctors, lawyers and Congressman.
How great to have a hand in helping them understand that guns, hunting and other out door activities are not crime!
To that Idea I suggested to Jim that perhaps we could take up some donations and get young Jarrett an NRA Lifemembership!
I need to check but I think a Life memebership is still 750 bucks. If enough of us send in a few bucks we could get this kid started in a big way.
Seems to me I didn't get a whole lot of mail when I was 10. What I did get was the Birthday card from Grandma with 5 or 10 bucks in it and recieveing the letter made my day.
Getting a copy of the American Rifleman each month might not be as nice as that letter from Granny, but at 59 I still look forward to it!
So Jim says what a great idea and can I spearhead this thing.
Never done any Honcho work but if you guys think this is a worth while idea I'll do the foot work and make it happen.
Guess I need to contact 45 nut and make sure this is O.K. with him.
I'll also ask him the best way to proceed.
Please stay tuned and thanks.
