On Monday December 18, 2023 the club will be closed to all activities so our contractor can safely work the entrance road/driveway.  They will be here early and work all day to work the road and finish with a topping of the the reclaimed asphalt that we stock piled.  There is a chance the work could roll into Tuesday morning, we will update with another email and place on our Facebook page and our website news page as well. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.  We feel it is the safest option for all concerned and the final result will be a better road for us going forward. Closing the driveway is also required by our contractor to be able to complete the work is a safe and satisfactory manner to our requested standards.

We will have an employee at the driveway entrance by FM 763 to insure there is no un-intended traffic that could cause safety issues for members and/or our contractor.

(8/3/2023) by Craig Cook

Starting on Monday August 7 through Friday August 11 county road 763 will be closed between the gun club entrance and Weber (43). So please plan on coming to the club via Old Brownsville Rd to 763. It is being closed while repair work is done in the area of the two bridges just to the south of the club entrance.

NOTICE

Starting June 1, 2023 there will be a 3.00% surcharge automatically added to all purchases made with a credit card.  Payments made with cash, check or a debit card will not be charged the fee.

We have had to implement this fee due to the significant increase in the use of credit to pay for purchases and the card fees we incur for credit transactions.

CORPUS CHRISTI GUN CLUB

October 4, 2022

Dear Members:

This year our Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 2, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. in front of the main clubhouse.  In addition to electing directors for the board, we will review the past year’s progress and proposed plans for future growth.  If there is any topic you would like to discuss, please contact me by 5:00 p.m. Monday, 10/31/22 so that it can be added to the agenda.  Only items on the agenda will be open for discussion.

The following members are running for three open positions on the board:

Harold Carter                                Kevin Keetch                      Roger Strickland (incumbent)

Robert Galbreath (incumbent)         Mark Otto (incumbent)        Phil Underwood

Glenn Hagler                               Lee Rogers

You must be present to vote, and we cannot take any ballots until all candidates have spoken.

We have had some continued challenges at the club because of the scarcity of ammunition and reloading supplies, gate malfunctions and an electrical issue in the clubhouse, but the staff and your Board of Directors have handled all issues.  We now have a much better inventory of ammo and reloading supplies than we have had in 2 years.  We are pleased to let you know that your club continues to do well and remains fiscally sound.  Membership is roughly equal to the previous few years, and more members are coming out to enjoy the club.   Our Thursday night shooting attendance has still not bounced back but is improving and we encourage everyone to come out and shoot under the lights for a different and fun experience.  We have made significant improvements on the 5-Stand field with the help of our amazing local 4H club and private donations.  Country doubles has been reestablished and available for those who remember that crazy and fun game and for anyone interested in learning it.  I will still try to send out a newsletter every few months telling you about these changes.  If you are not receiving this email and would like to, add CCGC to your contact list and/or contact Craig or Theresa to make sure they have your correct email address.

This letter also serves as reminder that your annual membership fee is due by January 1, 2023.  This will be the only notice you will receive.  Enclosed you will find your renewal agreement, waiver and a return envelope.  Note that there is one page with the renewal notice on one side, the waiver on the back and you must complete both forms.  After completing, sign and return the forms with your dues.  Your 2023 membership will not be active until all are received by mail, electronically or in the clubhouse.  The fee for 2023 will be $194.  Copies of the renewal form and waiver will also be available at the annual meeting and are on our website.

There are exciting things happening and in the works for your club.  Please make plans to come to the Annual Meeting to hear about them and be a part of the excitement!

See you at the club!
