Scholastic Clays director Cyndi Benson reviews the year

 Our youth program ended in June on a positive note. It was a successful year during which dozens of kids participated from September through June. I'd like to thank all the kids and parents for taking the time to come out and participate. We enjoyed having you all here and we look forward to seeing you all again in September. I want to give a very special thanks to all of our coaches and all of our volunteers who helped make the program a success.  Of course we are always looking for volunteers (click on headline to read more), as well as donations to help pay for targets and ammo for the kids. If you are interesting in donating or volunteering contact me at 661-205-8569 or Charlie at 661=205-2914.   ;  Cyndi Benson, director KCGC Scholastic Clays
