I am working with a number of local citizens from this area to present an eight hour Shooting and Safety Sports Fair for approximately 100 youth between the ages of 13 and 20. The date for this event is June 3, at the Elks Lodge, #836, 2055 Elks Drive, in San Bernardino. The young people will have certified instructors working with them for approximately 3 hours in the morning, and after lunch at the Lodge, they will be dispersed to two, possibly three shooting areas where each participant will have an opportunity to shoot a .22 caliber rifle, a .22 caliber pistol, and a 12 gauge shotgun, under the direct tutorage of a certified instructor. The opportunity of shooting pellet guns and bows and arrows will also be included. I ' � In order to do this program at the low rthe le cost, we would like for the City of San Bernardino t wavnormal $8.00 per day fee for the Pistol Range ocated a rris Hill. I spoke with the Ra er Master, Mr. Gene Henriksen. He saw no problem of our bringi approximately 30 youth in at 1:30 p.m. the afternoon of June 3--especially when at least 5 or six certified instructors would be with them. He suggested that I write a letter to Lieutenant Neigle of the San Bernardino Police Department in order to get official approval. In the meantime, I spoke with Chief Robbins, and he appeared to find no fault with the plan. However, this past week I did receive a note from Mr. Henriksen indicating that I would have to contact you, and have approval of the City -Council. Consequently, I would like to have this item put on the agenda as soon as possible. While June 3, may sound as though it is a long time off--the days go very fast. \� Knowing how interested the City and the Cit Counsi is to promote youth activities within our city, I am certa ' s can be approved with no problem--especially since there is no cost to the city. I am enclosing a complete write-up of the plan--probably more than you care to read--but I will be happy to meet with you personally Page 2 . or before the council to answer any and all questions regarding the appropriateness and safety of this program.
