Dear Sister and Brother Officers,
This year twelve commands took part in our Fifth Annual Pistol Competition from October 25th – 30th. There was a lot of fraternal spirit with commands from across the state competing. Special thanks to project coordinator Ed Margosian for running the competition as well as Frank Barry, Debbie Verity, Sharon Levy, Rob Abarno, and Janet Walsh who volunteered their time to help make the event run smoothly.
The competition was fierce and the bar was set a little higher with Maria Prygon winning the top individual score with a record setting 211. We had our first tie with James Hansen and Desmond Williams coming in third. Kings Family was the top scoring team and had a comfortable margin over the reigning champs, Westchester Supreme, to take the winning trophy.
We thank all of our volunteers and shooters and look forward to next years competition.
Fraternally yours,
Joseph Cannella
