The Blue ridge Cherry Valley Rod & Gun Club’s second annual holiday party was a big success!
The party was attended by 60 club members and their guests. Joe Westfield, chief chef, did a great job cooking and serving the roast pig. Club member Lorna O’Farrell assisted him with carving the pig. Members stayed until around 7:30pm talking and relaxing.
Thanks to Peg Kraft, Pat and Al Adelle, Carol Stolfi, Alicia DeLong, Rock Campbell, Nick DeMaria, Bob Gubitosi, Sean Johnson, Jim Russo and James Martin for cleaning the clubhouse, helping to decorate the clubhouse and setting the tables for the dinner.
Special thanks of Alicia DeLong for donating the table centerpieces.
Earlier that week, Nick DeMaria brought a Toys for Tots bin. He left Friday night (December 10th) with 35 toys for the Marines to distribute. The Marines were very appreciative.
The Rimfire Challenge Event is a program of The National Shooting Sports Foundation. The program was developed with safety in mind. The program introduces participants to the fun and excitement of competitive shooting in a safe, low-pressure, family-friendly format. New, novice and experienced shooters are welcome to compete. Shooters compete using a rifle and handgun from any manufacture in .22 Long Rifle caliber.
This event will have six stages of six targets and a stop plate (four pistol and two rifle) and four-six squads depending on the number of participants.
There will be a mandatory one-half hour safety briefing before range time. Anyone not attending the safety briefing forfeits participation in the event.

Blue Ridge cherry Valley Rod & Gun Club held our annual Women On Target event in cooperation with the Women of the NRA.
Once again our events coordinator Peg Kraft went above and beyond to organize this amazing event.
Women On Target is an opportunity for first time female shooters to learn about firearms and firearms safety in a relaxed, comfortable environment staffed by certified NRA Instructors and Range safety Officers.
Before anyone takes their place on one of the 4 ranges everyone is given a brief safety briefing lead by our club Vice President.
NRA Training
After the briefing the fun really begins. Everyone attending is brought to the range and instructed in the use of and is given the opportunity to fire a .22 caliber pistol, bolt action rifle, shotgun and a semi-automatic rifle (AR-15).

Blue Ridge Cherry Valley Rod & Gun Club is proud to host the Women On Target event each year! The club is dedicated to “the propagation and conservation of wildlife and to promoting the shooting sports” and this is just one of the ways we actively promote the shooting sports.
None of this would be possible without the support of our club members and the dedication of all the NRA certified instructors and safety officers who generously volunteer their time to make this a safe and enjoyable event year after year.
