because you just mentioned kids and recipients. What is the

(01:35):
goal behind moneys raised?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
So our goal is to support the shooting sports in
our local community. So all the money we raise stays year.
If you ever had a child who has ever been
in Boy Scouts, four H Clubs, Girl Scouts, rotc's, A
lot of that money comes from different grants organizations and
we're one of those grant organizations that donate money back

(01:58):
to the local cammunity to continue to work the effort
of safety for shooting the sport of it. The Second
Amendment just programs that keep that locally here for us.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
To teach safety to children with regards to firearms. So
that's important for people to hear, because you know, Teresa,
just like I do that people here. You know NRA,
the National Rifle Association you're either understanding or you're not.
You understand that this is an organization that stands up
for our constitution. You mentioned the Second Amendment, but it
also is an organization that wants to protect people from

(02:37):
firearms they know nothing about. There's a responsibility there and
it starts frankly, with our youth and making sure that
they understand it does.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
And you know organizations like Women on Target where women
who've never shot before but they want to be able
to start to carry you protect themselves. There's programs out
there that take women from never holding a gun ever
before to actually learing how to shoot it fully and
correctly and to protect them and their families.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, and we're in a time in our country where
there's just so much uncertainty, and that includes on our
own front porch. So let's talk about what's coming up
with the localtrat Friends of the NRA Annual Banquet here.
