VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Due to the provision of food at no cost this year at the Fall Firearms Festival, we will need several cooks to grill the burgers, brats, and hot dogs and serve them along with pop, water, and individually bagged chips. Cooks get two years of MCRGO membership as well as a MCRGO hat (style of their choice). By having three cooks, one will always be able to rotate out on breaks for shooting, etc. Cooks do not need to be current members of MCRGO. If you would like to volunteer for this role, please email Brady at [email protected].
