Don has volunteered for years with Sporting Clays, cutting wood for Bluebird day; he was a firearm safety instructor at Gopher for years and helps with other events when asked. The award was presented on January 9, 2018.

Please bring your own cardboard in case there is not any left on the range.
Targets are to be hung on the cardboard only – PLEASE DO NOT SHOOT AT THE WOOD CROSS MEMBER FRAMES!!
