As far as forms to be turned in to Dawn Walker there are two on our team website under the forms tab. The Code of Conduct must be completed every year by every student and turned in prior to any shooting. The 3M Trap Club Liability Waiver only needs to be completed once, so that form is only needed for those new to the team.
Form(s) and team registration payments should be mailed to Dawn Walker at 216 6th Street East in Hastings (or feel free to leave in mailbox on porch) with checks payable to HHS Trap Team. We do not accept credit card payments. Dawn will also be accepting form(s) and team payments at the team trailer on shooting days.
Other optional team merch such as gun belts, hats, car stickers, etc. will be available for sale on shooting days at the team trailer.
The team does have protective eyewear and gun belts at the team trailer that can be borrowed and turned back in at the end of the day.
THE AMERICAN LEGION ALSO DONATED TO THE TEAM $1,000.00! SO PLEASE THANK MEMBERS OF EITHER ORGANIZATION THAT YOU MAY KNOW.
FUTURE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE VFW WHO JUST DONATED $2,000.00 TO OUR TEAM:
We really would appreciate some help on Memorial Day. I will get more details as we approach, but three dates would be Friday May 23rd, we place flags on all Veterans Graves within the city. Easier than it sounds but all of us and current volunteers are getting up their in age. All the cemeteries put up bronze veteran flag holders prior to our arrival, so it's just walking with a handful of flags locating those markers. Then on Tuesday the 27th we remove them all. Monday May 26th, Memorial Day we do a program at the Levee to honor all those Killed in Action. We can use help there handing out programs and miscellaneous muscle setting things up. Once they have more details we will call on volunteers.
Athletes and parents need to familiarize themselves with our team website hastingshighschooltrapteam.com as well as the mnlaytarget.com league site.
Senior Scholarship Opportunity: The league's Jim Sable Scholarship for Environmental Sciences and Conservation Education gives 40 $1,000.00 scholarships. Deadline to apply May 15th. Visit usaclaytarget.com/scholarships
Hotels for State Trap Championship in Alexandria. It is strongly suggested that you secure lodging for Monday June 16th as soon as possible in or near Alexandria. All shooters are eligible to attend on Tuesday, June 17th. I have been unable to secure any blocks and being told they are not offering blocks. One hotel was offering but now not responding.
