Dear Members and Friends of North Jersey Clay Target Club.
 
For the last 8 years I've been the webmaster of the club's website and for the last 5 years I've been the guy sending out club emails. On January 1st that will all change when the new board appoints or hires someone to replace me.
 
Over the years I've given many of you my personal email address so that you could notify me of spelling errors, formatting issues on the website or just suggestions on how to make them better. I have appreciated all the feedback because errors are not only a reflection on the club but also on me. You kept me on my toes. Thank you!
 
In the meantime, since I have no idea who will be replacing me, if you have comments, suggestions or corrections I suggest you contact incoming president George Pappas gnp@verizon.net and incoming vice-president Supinder Singh ssingh@iyp.com or ssingh@palacetours.com. Until my replacement is announced I suggest you address you emails to all three of the above addresses to ensure your concern gets to the right person.
 
I will not have access to either of these functions after January 1st so PLEASE  do not send me suggestions or corrections after that date - I won't be able to do anything with them.
 
It has been my pleasure to volunteer literally thousands of hours over the years to create and maintain these critical communication systems for the you.
 
Wishing you all the best in 2025!
I'll see you on the line

When you miss that one critical bird and you need someone to listen to you whine
she is the ONLY sympathetic ear you are likely to find.
 
Feel free to tell her all your troubles,
she loves to listen!
