Hello OC Venturers! This November were are having our wonderful firearm safety presentation at our Forum. A very qualified individual will help brief us on this very important topic. To spice things up a bit we will even let you practice your skills! After the presentation we are going to be having a nerf gun target practice to see which Crew has the best marksmanship. Extra Crew Points may be awarded to the Crew of the winning Venturer. Western Region Area 4 will be taking over our icebreaker with some Minute To Win It games and for a special video surprise so be sure to make it out on this Tuesday at 7pm at the council office!
