Reader thankful for support at Cleary Scholarship fundraiser

Dear Editor:

A trap shoot was held at the Irem Temple Gun Club on Sunday, Oct. 25, as a fundraiser for the 1st Lt. Michael J. Cleary Scholarship Fund which provides a scholarship to a graduating senior from Dallas High School each year.

The participants in and sponsors of the event helped to make the day a tremendous success and I would like to express my gratitude to them.

Thank you to the Irem Temple Country Club for hosting and sponsoring the event. The gentlemen from the Irem Temple Gun Club Committee, including Ed Reese, Chris Reese, Mike Hawk, Welly Lord, Fred Williams, Rich Brown, Ray Toney and Keith Bicking, volunteered their time and energy to make the event run smoothly and a fun day for all who attended.

Thanks to our two primary sponsors, Dallas Sporting Goods and Northeastern Eye Institute, for their generosity.

Additionally, a thank you goes to the more than 15 area businesses that provided the funding, prizes and food for the day. Without the support of these local groups and businesses, the trap shoot would not have been so successful.

Finally, I would like to thank the over 50 participants who came out to shoot. Their contributions will help to provide a scholarship to a senior from Dallas High School in memory and honor of 1st Lt. Michael J. Cleary.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks again to all who attended.

Marcus Sowcik
