Sportsmen
By NATALIE JOHNSON
The Mason County Sportsman's
Association is much more than
just a gun club, treasurer Steve
Worthington said.
"I want it to get out to the pub-
lic that we're a charitable organi-
zation," he said. "Charity, safety
and education, those are the three
things that we try to stress."
Every year, the associations
gives about $600 to local groups like
the Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts and
have also donated to the Turning
Pointe Domestic Violence Services.
"I think we'll always support the
wounded warrior program," he said.
Worthington explained that the
sportsman's association is looking
for organizations to donate to in
2011.
"What we'd like to do is have or-
ganizations that are seeking dona-
looking to give
tions contact us," he said. "We don't
know who to give it to."
The sportsman's association has
been a registered 501(c)3 non-profit
organization since 2009, when the
association's board decided to make
official what they had been doing
since the group began in 1947, giv-
ing money back to the community.
"In 2009 we decided that the best
way to ... develop the club was to
become a non-profit," Worthington
said. "We would have always done
that but this way when someone do-
nates, they can write it off."
The association raises money
through their member dues, fees,
and through organized .shooting
events Worthington said.
Since the group currently only
has about 150 members, and they
also have to pay to keep up their in-
door shooting range at the Port of
Shelton, Worthington said that do-
nations are necessarily small.
Worthington said that the sports-
man's association is also looking to
grow in the future.
"The growing part is exposing
ourselves more to the public," he
said. "The range is very under uti-
lized."
Worthington said that the associ-
ation wants to attract younger faces
to the club, and wants to allow the
public to use their range more often.
In addition, many club members
dream of an outdoor public range,
and would welcome donations for
that.
People interested in donating to
the association, or recommending
a group for them to donate to, can
send a donation or written proposal
to 521 West Business Park Rd, P.O.
Box, 112, Shelton, WA, 98584.

I A WIN/WIN NEW YEARS GIFT
I Starting this New Year, it's a good thing to keep in mind those less fortunate than us. Being
!:iI down:and out'is very rough: Whetherit's:becatr~e af mental probl~s, badJur.k,~economy:

that are not good for themselves. If you ignore them, you feel helpless and they feel angry,
a lose/lose situation. How about a way to help them out that costs you and the community
nothing? GiLLIS FORD is sponsoring a program that supplies you with a free food card at
no cost to you. This card tells the unlucky ones where to get free, wholesome food supplied
locally by organizations that are there to perform this charitable service. Simply go to GILLIS
AUTO CENTER, W.180 Hulbert Rd., Shelton and pick up as many of these free food cards as
you like. The homeless problem will not go away or improve without the active participation
of local residents. So give a FREE FOOD CARD to someone who needs a helping hand. And
what better time to do this than at the beginning of the New Year?
*If you are a local business or organization and would like to participate in this program,
please contact Dave Draper @ GILLIS Affro CEN~R (360)426-5585
