Something New
John Ballance and Scott Doucet have been working on a new feature for the LSCA website. "GET SWAG" You will be able to order LSCA logo items (for a limited time) on the LSCA website. A vendor will process the order and take payment. This is a big enhancement to our website. Thanks John and Scott.
Final Thoughts
As 2024 comes to a rapid end, I would like to recognize the numerous people who have worked so hard for your Association over the year. Special mention are Gary Littlefield, John Balance and Scott Doucet. Among numerous things, they have worked hard behind the scenes to enhance our website, fight red tape to obtain a raffle permit and schedule our 2025 Registered shoots. We appreciate our sponsors, Berg Outdoors, Cajun Gun & Gear and Barpelt for their support.
I would like to wish all of our members and friends of the LSCA a very happy and safe Holiday Season.
Dan Lavergne
President, LSCA
