All FSA Members are advised that our 2025 Membership Renewal Cycle has begun. All members with valid email addresses on file with the club received their Renewal Notices on 10/14 or 10/15. Those members without email access have paper invoices in the mail to them 10/15. Also, all members with in-progress multi-year memberships have 2025 cards in the mail to them 10/15.
Please check your email or watch your snail-mail for your renewal notice. Renew Early! Consider a multi-year renewal, and remember, if you are renewing by mail, DO NOT MAIL TO RIVER ROAD, and DO NOT DROP OFF DUES WITH THE RSO OR A SHOOT MANAGER. Doing either will cause a substantial delay in processing your renewal.

Rifle Section Leader Pete Petronio seeks able-bodied volunteers to assist in the completion of the new 50 yard range at the rifle range. Work Party will be this Tuesday, October 15, 2024 beginning at 10:00am.
Questions: contact Pete Petronio at 513-271-7044 or at petepetronio@gmail.com.
All FSA Members are advised that the contractor installing the berm for our new 50 yard targets on the Rifle Range will begin that work today, September 23, 2024. Weather permitting, work will continue daily until completion, which we anticipate will be reached sometime this week.
At this time, we do not expect disruption to our Rifle Range schedule; the contractor is aware of our Range hours and will attempt to accommodate us. Thus, we currently expect a normal range available day on Wednesday.
As always, such work is subject to change. Please watch the website or contact the duty RSO for updates. Thanks for your patience as we make improvements to this range.

Ladies and Gentlemen: We are now less than a month out from the beginning of our 2025 Membership Renewal Cycle. Now is the time to be sure that we have your current directory data. If you have recently moved, changed your phone number, cell number, or email address, and have not yet reported that change to us, please do so now.
Also, if your NRA Membership has expired, now is the time to get that renewed so that it does not cause a problem at renewal time.
Updates may be advised through the member portion of the website, or by mail at PO Box 31409, Cincinnati, Ohio 45231-0409.
Thanks for helping to make this year’s renewal cycle a smooth and efficient one!
