    Maintainence-

    Congratulations to everyone who has renewed their membership.  We know it was a big change this year and we appreciate your patience.  With COVID we were not able to roll this out at the Annual Meeting, as we had planned, but we shifted a few times and to date 82% of our membership has renewed. If you haven't renewed, it is ok, we are still accepting renewals. 

    In this newsletter we wanted to let you know of a few things such as how to get your new membership card with the gate code, how to renew your membership if you haven't, news about the Annual Meeting and some updates from the September board meeting. 

    We thank you for your patience and if you need help, please let one of the following officers know. 

    • Ron Page, President (409) 729-GTGC
    • Richard Worthey, Director of Safety and Training (409) 210-9333
    • Heather Yvonne, Director of Women's Programs (The Pistolettes), Club Secretary/Treasurer (409) 210-1867

    For questions about your online account, please TEXT Heather at
    (409) 210-1867 or email her at gtgcpistolettes@gmail.com

    The Gate Code Will Change on October 1st.

    On October 1st, we will add the new gate code to the system.  If you have attended Orientation, you can log into your account and you will automatically see the new code on your card.  You can print out the PDF Membership Card or you can use the App, Wild Apricot for Members, to display your Membership Card.  Here is a link to the APP. You can even save it as a photo on your phone if you prefer. 

    If you log on and find that your membership card is not displaying the gate code because it says, Access Granted After Orientation, this means that you have not attended Orientation and will need to register for an upcoming class. The class schedule is under Events on the Club website or you can click here:  Events Be sure to scroll through the events page to find an open class. We are only allowing half capacity due to COVID. 

    With all of the circumstances of 2020, we will leave the existing gate code in place until March 31, 2021 to allow people more time to go through Orientation BUT on April 1, 2021 the code will be removed and you will no longer have access to the Club if you have not attended Orientation.  We have just over 800 members who still have to attend Orientation, so we ask that you do not wait until March. 

    Board Elections

    It is 2020, and that means it is Election time.  We will be voting on two year terms at the Annual Meeting and wanted you to be able to read the Bio's of those nominated for each office, prior to the election.  You can find those on our website here:  Board Members

    Annual Meeting

    The Annual Meeting has been a moving target this year due to COVID and the Hurricane season.  We are hoping to still rent out the Port Arthur Bob Bowers Civic Center as in years past, as soon as they open to the public, we will know more info.  This will allow for the maximum in social distancing and we are hoping to LIVE stream it as well.  Our back up plan would be to send a newsletter like this, with links to items to vote on electronically.   

    News from the September 8th Board Meeting

We understand that some have paid by check and mailed it in to the PO Box and we want to give you an update and let you know that the average mail delivery that use to take one to three days , is now averaging, three weeks. Please understand that all checks have been notated as of last night. The fastest way for you to pay is online is by logging into your profile scrolling down and renewing.

    Don’t forget that you also have to have a membership orientation class. This Thursday and next Thursday we are offering orientation class at 5:30 PM, you will have to sign up online if you show up at the door you will have to wait to see if no one shows for their registered slot. We still have openings in both classes. There will not be any classes this Saturday as it is Labor Day weekend. If that is the only time that you can take it please let us know and we will see if we have enough interest to be able to pull together one class.

    Thank you for everyone’s understanding and flexibility as we are taking our renewal online. We know that it has been a learning curve and we respect and thank each one of you for your efforts.

    As of Saturday afternoon at 4:00 PM, Entergy crews have restored power to the gun club range, and the fallen power pole and utility lines have been repaired.   No significant damage to the range.

    We will resume the Member Range Safety Orientations.  Check the EVENTS page for the schedule and to register.  Please remember that we are following the Federal, State and Local guidelines for social distancing to help prevent the spread of COVID19.  Therefore, it is very important for you to register first to attend.  Otherwise, if the maximum capacity of 30 is reached, you will be turned away.

     The power is currently out at the gun club, as it is in many parts of Jefferson County.  There is no discernable damage at the club other than a few broken tree limbs, and plastic barrels found scattered across the range.  However, there is a power pole hanging across Erie Street between Chambliss Drive and the LNVA canal with utility lines lying in the roadway.  This has been reported to Entergy with no estimated time for repairs.  So, along with the many residents and gun club members having evacuated due to Hurricane Laura, the member orientation classes scheduled for this weekend are cancelled.  We hope to have power back by early next week, at which time we will reschedule these classes.

    We always say safety first, last and always. That also applies during this uncertain time.Safety is our upmost priority and out of caution and preparation for the upcoming weather event, classes, lessons, etc. have been canceled and the range will be closed if we have a direct impact until it can be inspected. We will keep you updated as we know things.

  • Monday, August 24, 2020 2:09 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    Heather
