The ECLF has another fine Colt
Single Action Army revolver to be raffled at the All Colt Show in Concord,
North Carolina. In 2008 we disbursed funds to the Whittington Adventure
Camp, Raton, New Mexico, Ft. Hayes State University Shooting Sports
Club, Ft. Hayes, Kansas and the Pine High School Naval Junior Reserve
Officers Training Corps (NJROTC), Florida. We will be announcing future
disbursements at the Colt Show in October. Our President, Jan Quick,
has a column in the magazine that updates the membership. Please check
her column and find out what we are doing to encourage and facilitate
our youth in firearms related endeavors. The ECLF appreciates your support
in our continuing efforts.
Thank you Lt. Gen. William
M. Keys, President and CEO, Colt's Manufacturing Co., LLC, for the

to completion and we thank both of them for their continuing support.
As always, we thank Denise
