With Spring in the air, all thoughts turn to fishing, hiking, and working around the house and the yard. If you’re looking for help, check out WRGC’s business directory. There’s probably a great business owner who’s also a member of WRGC who would love to have your business! Check out WRGC’s directory of local businesses at http://www.wrgclub.org/members-only/member-business-directory/. There is also a form on this web page for you to fill out and get your own business listed.

Finally, speaking of WRGC member businesses… we’re looking to hire someone to clean the clubhouse and range buildings on a regular basis. If you own a cleaning business and are interested in picking up WRGC as a client, contact George Barrett at 508-295-2507.
