10/1/12 Through God’s Crosshairs
ByThe July – September quarter of 2012 was a good one for FCS. Our attendance was 131 people, which was our seventh best for this quarter. We blew away what was our average for this quarter (95.57). We had 19 events, which tied our best for this quarter. We would have had 23 events (our best) but the 8/4/12 ‘Margarita Open I’ Sporting Clays Tournament, 8/31/12 – 9/2/12 Dove Hunt (San Angelo), and 9/14/12 Guided Teal Hunt were canceled due to lack of interest and the 9/29/12 Sporting Clays and Skeet Shoot was rained out. If we had had our average attendance at these events we would have had 159 people (our second best). We broke the 7000 mark in total attendance (7121) and broke the 700 mark in total events (704).
We had two members renew their memberships, one new member, and nine first time guests.
We had one officers vote and one poll during this quarter.
