THIS MONTH...

We regret to inform you that Otis McDonald will not be available to be the speaker at this month's meeting.  Due to circumstances beyond his control, Otis is currently unavailable and will be unable to attend.  He extends his apologies and is looking forward to sharing his story with us in the future.

  We are delighted, however, to inform you that we have someone very special that has gracefully saved the day for us.  Colleen Lawson, another plaintiff in McDonald v. City of Chicago, has agreed to be our speaker at the next meeting on Wednesday, August 18th, 7:00pm.  We are grateful to Colleen for clearing her schedule to be able to present to us.

  Thank you for understanding and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

Will County ISRA member, Tom Kasprzak, was the name drawn for the WCGR Gun Giveaway last month. Unfortunately, Tom was not present so another name will be drawn at the next meeting. Remember, the winner must be present, have a valid FOID and comply with all local, state and federal laws.

 

Last Month's Meeting - Jeff Gregoric was our guest speaker on July 21st and gave a most interesting presentation.  Jeff is Vice President for Safer USA, a NRA certified instructor and is licensed to teach courses for Chicago gun permits.  He spent twenty years in the Marine Corps in the Special Forces Division, whose mission is Counter Terrorism.  more

 

Chairman's Comments - Arizona is a nice place to visit, live and work and, usually, everybody is eager to go there. Recently, however, many liberal politicians, celebrities and businesses are trying to find ways to avoid Arizona or having anything to do with Arizona at any cost. The reason is that Arizona has decided to do something about the illegal immigrants that have infested the whole state of Arizona, as well as the rest of the country. Arizona actually had the nerve to pass a law that allowed police to ask for identification from those who were stopped for probable cause. This law, which isn’t even as stringent as a similar law in California, has been portrayed by the media and the federal government as being racist, evil and unconstitutional.  When questioned, President Obama, Attorney General Holder and Homeland Defense Secretary (and former Arizona Governor) Janet Napolitano publicly admitted that they had not taken the time to read the ten-page Arizona law and were basing their opinion on what they had heard in the mainstream media. On top of this, some cities and groups are trying to cancel contracts with Arizona-based businesses in an attempt to boycott the state.  more

 

Honor Flight - To my friends, relatives and well wishers, 

What an honor to be a chosen participant in the “Honor Flight.” I would like to share this great day with you. 

I, with ninety-three other WWII veterans, arrived at Midway Airport at 4:30 A.M. at the Southwest Airline arrival area. We were provided with a monogrammed shirt and a ditty bag for our carry-on items. We were then escorted through Security by a volunteer guardian. The assistance of the guardian was very helpful and, in some cases, necessary. more
