Damn, I've got 696. Two nights ago it was 969 - flip em around 180 degree clockwise and I would have nailed it. Then last night it was 669! Somebody up there likes to screw with me. Congrats to all the winners so far. Good luck to the rest of us.

Sunday - June 30 winner -- and the last one - is 331. Thank you for your support - The winner tonight is the wife of one of our club members, who sells 10 or 12 tickets for us every year. -- What I really like about this guy - is that whenever I take some tickets over to him - or pick them up -- he usually gives me a package of 2 or 3 lbs. of nice fresh walleye fillets. That's about the only perk I ever get for doing thus stuff. Sorry more of you didn't win -- better luck next year. Have a great summer, guys - Thanks Again!

From another member of Camden Rod & Gun Club, thank you to everybody that bought tickets. This fundraiser probably does more than I know, but the things I do know are things like our annual kid's fishing derby, yearly scholarships, our Youth Marksman air rifle team, and it helps to keep the bills paid for our club.
We are fortunate to have a great facility and great members that keep the place running.
Side note....
Bill, if you ever get overwhelmed with walleye fillets, I know a guy that can help you get rid of them.

Just read a post from Oneida Rifle Club that they're doing a shoot to raise money for Camden's rifle club.. they reported that Camden has significant water damage from last week's storm..

The damage is amazing. 10 inches of water through out the clubhouse. Thousands of dollars in damage -- And we just bought two new furnaces that were submerged and several other things (refrigerators, freezer, traps, carpeting, etc etc) NOT to mention damage to the walls etc.

Oh man. I recommend starting a new thread to post updates in, share the fundraiser bit above and any other details where people can help. Did the water come through the roof/window or was it flooding? Didn't think it was that bad of an area for water..

I watched the storm on radar after getting weather alerts. I believe it was flash flooding .
It was flash flooding. Ten inches water mark on entry door.

Tried to post about this earlier today. - For some reason I could not get the site to upload the pictures. Thursday night storm / deluge dumped 5 + inches of rain in northern Oneida county in a matter of minutes. Friday morning the water marks on club entrance door were 10 - 11 inches high, from bottom edge of the DOOR. Water, mud, silt, gravel throughout the club and indoor pistol range. Indoor ranges closed until further notice. Trap ranges closed until further notice. Two new furnaces, just installed in club & pistol range have to be evaluated - 3 refrigerators, freezers and dishwasher in kitchen probably history, kitchen stove, questionable. $ 7,900.00 Pat-Trap will probably have to be sent to factory for rebuilding. Note: we are NOT in a low spot - gently rolling terrain - on a hill, yet. Water marks on some weeds, adjacent to the berm of our 200 yard rifle range show the water depth there to have been about 36". -- This is about 70 yards from our entrance door, over level ground. Kitchen cabinetry & work island, probably shot - paneling / insulation through meeting room, two bathrooms, a couple adjacent storage closets, equipment for our Youth Shooters Air rifle club probably needs attention, - includes several high-end competition air-rifles, and accompanying equipment. - The damage is devastating, and unfathomable, - if you know our grounds and club layout - you would never believe ANY amount of water like that could accumulate there - let alone flow like a raging river - we just last week spent a grand for new gravel & crusher to enlarge, and level parking by rifle range - all washed away! We have engaged service master to help with clean up, they'll be there Tuesday A.M. - large dumpster arriving Monday morning, - carpets will heave to be removed immediately - probably paneling, holy crap - records from hunter education classes, club records, damage yet to be evaluated. Outdoor ranges, remain open and accessible - 200 yd. range & 70 yard range - skeet field is useable, archery range is useable. -- Insurance coverage? - doubtful - Who the hell need flood insurance on top of a hill? We've worked our asses off the last 30 - 40 years to get where we are today - I, and many others who have put their energy, blood, sweat, tears and labor into this place are devastated, - but we will survive - and rise again from the mud.
Wish us well!

Shit, I just saw this.
Hopefully at least the furnaces might be ok. Years ago I had a brand new furnace (BRAND NEW - not even hooked up yet) sitting in my basement and the sump pump died and submerged my furnace in 18 inches of water - I let it air dry and it's never had any problems.
Granted, this was relatively clean water without mud & silt, but I'm trying to optimistic.
@wizrd, I'll be in touch to see what I can do to help.

Like I said, make a new thread in either Off Topic or General Firearm Talk with information. Have you reached out to Bob D yet? I think an e-mail out to the whole club should really be done; if I hadn't seen it here I wouldn't have known since there's no meeting until Sept.
As much as I dislike GoFundMe plugs, once you know the extent of the damage you may want to create a page to ask for donations - assuming their TOS would even allow you to.. (pictures would help)
I can't help much monetarily, and time-wise I could really only help with cleanup on the weekends, but reach out to me anyway. Sleeping about it overnight I was thinking of some sort of Donation/Raffle Giveaway.. could even post it at ar15.com for more exposure. I'm not good at organizing these things though.
Don't stress out about it too much @wizrd and @1911guy - we'll get through it!

Unfortunately there are states laws against this - IIRC you are limited to one raffle of this type/size every 6 months (or is it twice a year?).
It might be something for later in the year - maybe have lower level prizes (10/22 or other .22 cal rifles) and have the tickets be only 10-$20?
