Dear Members,

 2024 was a very busy year. Here are a few of the highlights. We celebrated the 75th anniversary of the club with a great party and dinner. Sweatshirts and shirts were available to purchase to commemorate the anniversary year. A new lean to was constructed to house the grounds equipment that was quickly outgrowing its current location.  Archery hosted two 3D shoots. Trap, horseshoes, and corn hole were ongoing.  The shooting range was utilized by many. Members could be seen fishing and pheasant hunting. There was a BBQ competition and Waldo’s famous steak dinner. Inside the club there was monthly entertainment free for all to enjoy. The club hosted it’s annual Kid’s Day that was a huge success. The year ended with the Kid’s Christmas Party, Christmas pot luck with music by Mike Sylvia, and NYE with DJ Pappa Smitta.

With that being said,  I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow board members and House Committee for their commitment to the club. I would like to recognize the outgoing leadership for their hard work and dedication. It takes the work of many to keep the club running smoothly. It has been my pleasure to have served on the Board as secretary for the last 6 years. I am excited to have been elected as president for 2025.

Our membership meetings are the second Thursday of each month at 7pm.  I hope that more members will attend a meeting at least once this year. There are many opportunities for membership to become involved in events, projects, and activities. You can earn hours, meet new people, and have a good time. I would like to suggest that one of the biggest needs for volunteers is for Kid’s Day.  Please consider helping out for this truly great event.

I am looking forward to working with membership and leadership to make 2025 another great year at Valley Springs. Please watch for emails and social media posts regarding meeting dates, news, and upcoming events.  

Sincerely,

Kathy Demers
