Submitted by asc-admin on January 1, 2026 - 3:24pm

Dear Fellow Members,

As we begin a new year, I would like to wish each of you and your families a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

I am truly humbled and overwhelmed by the trust and support you showed during the December election. On behalf of myself and Vice President Bob Cochran, thank you for the confidence you have placed in us. We do not take that responsibility lightly, and we are committed to working hard every day to serve the membership and the future of our club.

Bob and I are ready to roll up our sleeves and get right to work on the commitments we made.

First, we will focus on starting projects with clear purpose and finishing them on time. Our club has an incredible amount of talent, dedicated volunteers, and strong resources. By adding more structure, planning, and follow-through, we can accomplish more and continue improving our grounds and facilities efficiently and responsibly.

Second, we will work to improve the overall appearance and landscaping of our property. We are fortunate to have a beautiful facility, and with some focused effort, we can make it even more welcoming—for longtime members and first-time visitors alike.

Third, transparency and communication will be a priority. We will communicate more frequently with the membership about ongoing projects, what’s happening around the club, and how we are doing fiscally. An informed membership is a strong membership.

Fourth, we will continue to support the organizations that defend our Second Amendment rights, including groups such as the NRA, GOAL, and the Civil Rights Coalition. These organizations stand up for us, and it is important that we continue to stand with them.

 

Most importantly, we will keep this club moving forward while protecting the traditions and values that brought us here. Our goal is to build a club we are all proud of—one that runs smoothly, communicates clearly, respects its history, and continues to grow.

Thank you again for your trust and support. I look forward to working with Bob, the Board, our volunteers, and all of you as we make 2026 a successful year for our club.

 

Respectfully,

 

Mike Pasco - President 

Andover Sportsmen’s Club
