An early morning storm did not dampen the spirits of Lodge 50 retirees who attended our third annual HR-218 Qualification and Barbecue. In fact, the sun broke through just hours before shooting began and the rest of the afternoon was a huge success. A good time and great food were had by the record member turnout. We would like to give a special thank you to Brother Dave Moore and his lovely wife, Kathy, for organizing the event and cooking a delicious barbecue feast.  Lodge 50 President, Lou Blasco, also announced that the Lodge would be donating an automated external defibrillator (AED) to range owner and instructor, Ron Council, in appreciation for his time and expertise and for allowing us the use of his property.
