I find TFS very informative. Wish I had a story to share.
My goal is to make it up to Camp Perry.
Keep up the GOOD work.

Excellent newsletter. Easy to read on screen, print out for file. Good choice of topics. Crisp writing. Nice graphics. Congratulations on a job well done. You're a great resource to the shooting sport crowd. I look forward to receiving the email.

I just wanted to add my two cents about The First Shot. I really enjoy receiving The First Shot via email. I read all the articles to learn what is happening at CMP and in competitive shooting.
I espically enjoy seeing the accomplishments of the junior shooters. They are the future of this sport I love so much. I can't wait for take my grandkids out and introduce them to the sport of shooting.
I only hope that one day I will also take the trip to Camp Perry. I have read the annual reports in the NRA magazine and now the CMP site for the last 20 years or so. One day, I will make it there.

I've never made it up to Camp Perry (Kelley's Island is a close as I've been), but I love reading the well-assembled newsletter!
I enjoy shooting, although seldom do it... just so busy raising kids and working. Keep up the good work!

In the past, I frequently ignored these updates. However, I read the articles this month and was quite impressed.
Thank you for the excellent work.

CMP Employee “Jailed”
for Muscular Dystrophy Association
By Dale Miles, CMP Staff Writer

Recently, there was a slight disturbance at CMP South Headquarters in Anniston, Alabama. It seems that the Civilian Marksmanship Program had been harboring a person of questionable character for quite some time. CMP Clerk Sharron Wautelet was taken into custody by authorities and soon locked away for good deeds done helping the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

| Local authorities rounded up CMP employee Sharron Wautelet last week in an effort to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Sharron’s efforts and giving of her time raised $2517 for the MDA.

Wait a minute? Locked up for GOOD deeds? Sharron, as part of a recent effort to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association sponsored by the Anniston Chamber of Commerce, volunteered to have herself locked up behind bars. To free her from her cell, bail had to be raised in the form of donations to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. While in the slammer, Sharron could make more than one phone call…calling the good folks at CMP Headquarters, CMP Board Members, her doctor, her minister, as well as friends and family to raise her bail. And she was successful! All together, Sharron raised $2517 to be donated to the MDA.

“It really wasn’t that bad,” said Sharron, “they fed me and when I was released I got a limo ride back to work.”
No stranger to good deeds, Sharron is actively involved in her community. Besides the work she does for the CMP, Sharron is active in her church, volunteers her time as a Big Sister to underprivileged children and even gave up her vacation to help others. Along with the youth group from her church, she traveled South of the border to Matamoras, Mexico where she worked with AIM Adventures and Missions to construct a new roof for a small, rural church as well as other projects for the less fortunate people of that area. It seems helping people is just part of who Sharron is, and she doesn’t intend to stop.
“I would love to get locked up again,” Sharron stated, “any time you have the chance to help so many children by doing something so simple it is very worth doing.”
