NRA Traditions Magazine has great article on Vermont NRA Women On Target (great photos)


The NRA Traditions Magazine Quarter III issue has just begun to arrive in the mail and it hit the NRA web site today.
There is a great story about the NRA Women On Target Program in Vermont.  The story relates has a very nice
section about the Barre Fish & Game Club's quite successful NRA WOT events, run by Cyndy Jones.  The narrative
of the story is on page 17 and the great photos are on page 16. 
 
 
A great job by Cyndy, her crew at Barre F&G and all of the other clubs and the folks running NRA Women On Target
and NRA Day events all over Vermont.  16 of these events were conducted in Vermont, grant funded from the profits
of Vermont's six Friends of NRA events.  The grant was administered by the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs.
The request for funding of NRA WOT events exceeded NRA funding so the federation funded several NRA WOT events.
 

Cheryl Ziembrosk was the 2013 NRA Volunteer of the Year for New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont and runs a NRA WOT
at the Caledonia Forest and Stream Club in St. Johnsbury.  Photo and narrative on Page 12.
