The Victoria Rotary Club is planning the 21st Annual Jack Whitmire Annual Charity Clay Shoot on April 28 and 29. In addition to being a beautiful outing at the Beck Ranch on Salem Road, it is also the Club’s primary fundraiser for the year. Monies generated at the Clay Shoot will be used to fund grant programs for non-profit organizations. Last year’s Clay Shoot resulted in $14000 that has been extended to ten organizations. This year’s program will start on Saturday with registration, practice rounds and a evening steak dinner, as well as a calcutta and a live/silent auction. Teams of five will shoot 100 clays on Sunday. There will also be flurries and awards. |
