Purchasing
the Virtue Flat Range
The Powder River Sportsmen's Club is proceeding to purchase the Virtue
Flat Range from BLM. This page will provide updates
and
current information.Information:
In December 2011 the
Club
received a letter from BLM acknowledging our
purchase application and extending our present lease terms for the
duration of the purchase process. BLM will start processing our
application in Summer 2012; estimated time to completion is 2 years.
At year-end 2011, Club accounts held as much as $10,000 which could be ear-marked for range purchase by vote of a quorum of members at a Club meeting. The expected cost to purchase the range is approximately $45,000 including fees for appraisal, environmental assessment, and survey. At present, revenues from member dues, match fees, range reservations and club affiliations are enough to meet annual operating expenses with a small reserve.
This means that the remaining funds necessary for range purchase must come from donations and fundraising efforts. The Club welcomes each member to contribute in his or her own way. If you have ideas or time available to assist with fundraising efforts, please come to a monthly meeting and join the team! You can donate directly by mailing a check to PO Box 162 in 97814 (write Range Purchase on the memo line of your check), or by including a donation with your annual membership renewal.
