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. For other information, visit www. sheltonrnp.com.
