They get a newsletter, subsidized picnics, safety vests for use during hunting season, tags to put on their backpacks for emergency situations. They also get snacks at monthly meeting,, and a partially subsidized winter holiday party.

It has members and an exec. board and a set of by-laws. I look at it as a larger scale - friends paying for dinner and a few other things.

As I pointed out, we also have given thousands to environmental causes and to a food bank.
