Our Chair, Terry Burns is adamant about what he calls “paying it forward” and Amos from New Brunswick - our latest draw winner has done just that. After receiving his MarkII – he went to visit Ralph & Nancy Hanscome, presented them with his prize and asked that they use it to raise funds at their next annual Martin Streef Memorial Shoot.
The 9th annual Perth-Andover Rotary Martin Streef Memorial Shoot is all set to go for the weekend of August 6th, 7th and 8th at Hanscome Outdoor Adventures near Perth, New Brunswick.
A group of hunters lost a friend Martin J. Streef to cancer. To honour Martin‘s memory and in support of his love for the outdoors and his enthusiasm for the sport of hunting, a Memorial Fund was established.
Ralph Hanscome, from Hanscome Outdoor Adventures Ltd. explains. “The funds raised at this event go toward the Streef Memorial Fund that provides funding and mentoring for young people coming in to the firearms sports. The fund offers an opportunity for young hunting enthusiasts, those who might not otherwise have the chance, to experience the full upland game adventure.” He continued, “The adventure will include transportation to and from Hanscome Outdoor Adventures' Limestone Lodge located in Perth Andover, NB., meals, accommodation, guides, dogs, safety instruction, guns and ammunition. All a successful candidate has to do is pack some clothes and get ready for a world class hunting experience.”

MP's Report
By Hon. Rob Merrifield, MP
This past week, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff stated clearly he will be forcing Liberal MPs to vote in favour of keeping the long-gun registry. This is unfortunate because eight of his Liberal MPs voted to scrap the long-gun registry at the last vote held before Christmas.
If Ignatieff continues with his plans, these MPs will be forced into voting against their constituents' wishes. |
