FALL SAFETY DAY OCTOBER 30, 2021 
AT THE WINCHESTER CANYON GUN CLUB

Winchester Canyon Gun Club to Host the Annual Event and 
Share Tips on Community Safety

SANTA BARBARA – The Winchester Canyon Gun Club will host a Community Safety Event from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 30, 2021, at the Winchester Canyon Gun Club, 6620 W. Camino Cielo, Santa Barbara, CA. 

The event, which is free and open to the public, will feature safety demonstrations and information from Dr. Caleb Baily, Cottage ER Nurses and other agencies in coordination with National Church Safety Month. Experts will also be on hand to offer fire safety instructions, gun safety and much more.

“The Fall Safety Day is a great opportunity for all of us to learn more about protecting our families, ourselves and our property,” said Winchester Canyon Gun Club President, Dayton Aldrich. “We appreciate Dr. Baily, the Cottage Hospital ER Nurses and other local agencies working together to organize this new event to increase the public’s knowledge about the many ways we can help protect ourselves and our community. We would also like this event to facilitate engagement with our local law enforcement and fire agencies so the public can express their gratitude.”

The Fall Safety Day provides a great opportunity to talk to the community about how simple changes – like locking up guns, homes, and cars – can be powerful deterrents to crime. It will also provide an opportunity for law enforcement, fire personnel and staff to interact with the community to learn more about preparedness and education of a wide range of safety precautions.

During the safety event, Winchester Canyon Gun Club will host a lunch provided by Shalhoob Meats for $12.00 per person. Please RSVP for lunch here. (https://www.wcgc.org/event-4509197)

We look forward to his leadership to continue moving the club in a positive direction. WCGC has some constuctive plans for this New Year! 1. WCGC is currently getting bids to pave the road to the rifle and pistol range, with the plan to have it completed in the first quarter of this year. If any member is in the paving business, we would welcome your estimate. Please email Mike Morrison information at rangemanager@wcgc.org. 2. WCGC is looking into updating the security camera system at the club. If any members are interested in assisting us with this, please email Mike Morrison information at rangemanager@wcgc.org. 3. WCGC is in the process of updating the Archery Range. Our goal is to have it completed by February.  With the national ammunition shortage still going on, WCGC has limited stock on rifle and handgun ammunition and reloading supplies. We are pursuing other venders to resupply. Reminder: We are still under Covid restrictions at the range.

Fellow Members,

I hope you all had a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday. I wanted to let you all know that we are monitoring the Governor’s stay at home order as it pertains to how it will affect the club. The board and range management will keep you all up to date on this issue. 

With these current restrictions, the club will be hosting our annual meeting on Tuesday, 29th of December electronically via Zoom’s online meeting platform. We will be sending out all of the instructions and the meeting room link to your emails on file.

During this month of December, the club will be seeing some new changes take effect. Number one is WCGC has a new Range Manager. Mike Morrison has graciously accepted the offer to take over as Range Manager. This plan has been in play for many months with Mike Foster and his family making the move out of California.  I want to thank Mike and his wife Shannon for all their hard work over the years to help keep this club running and we wish them all the best. 

This month we will also be having some new faces on the board due to our recent club election. These changes will include the election of a new club President, Dayton Aldrich. I know Dayton will do a fantastic job in the position and wish him the best. It has been my pleasure to serve as the President of WCGC for the last three years and I would like to thank you all for your support over this time. I look forward to serving the club in my new role as a Vice-President. 

One of our board’s major goals during my time as president was to move the club in a direction that would allow us to increase the accessibility of the club to all members and guests. With the club raising dues in July of 2019 to help with deferred maintenance such as rebuilding the road to our rifle/pistol ranges, we are in a position now to make this a reality. We are currently in the position to quote out the work and move forward with the road work. The board would like to extend the offer to any member that is in a position to provide a quote to rebuild the road to rifle/pistol. If interested please feel free to email (President@wcgc.org) or (secretary@wcgc.org) and we will coordinate with range management to schedule an estimate. 

I hope you all have a safe holiday season and wish you all the best.

Respectfully,

Paul McKenna
