2017, What a Stupendous Year
for our members, guests, and
partners. Lakeshore Conserva-
tion Club (LCC) continues to be
a leader in providing a safe,
comfortable, and welcoming
place for firearms use. Our part-
ners continue to bring great ac-
tivities and events to outdoors
enthusiasts of all ages.
The High School Trap and Skeet
Teams continued success and
growth have driven many of the
improvements and changes in
LCCs operations and infrastruc-
ture. This has benefited our
members and guests in many
ways. Some include, New
Throwers, Better Parking, Club-
house Improvements, Cass
County SWCD Grant, DNR
Range Improvement Grants,
Rifle/Pistol Range Improve-
ments, Handicapped Accessibil-
ity, Energy Efficient Lighting,
plus all the extra exposure we
get in the local communities by
sponsoring so many High
School Athletes. The LCC ex-
penditures used to directly and
indirectly support High School
Trap/Skeet Teams is looked at
as money well spent. Fostering
Youth and Family involvement in
Shooting Sports is key to our
future.
Our Board of Directors, Club
Manager, and Seasonal Staff
are the core of the day to day
operations and manpower. How-
ever, without the many volun-
teers that step forward through-
out the year we could not have
accomplished much.
Special Thanks to the Wild
Game Dinner Committee, the
Teach-a-Kid to Shoot Crew, the
Hunter Education Instructors,
the Youth Expo Committee, the
Extreme 5k CRU, High School
Coaches and Assistants, Sight-
in Volunteers, concrete finishers,
and all the others (you know
who you are) that make our
Club, an example of what can be
done vs. what can’t be done.
Some 2017 Highlights:
The Wild Game Dinner sold out and was another HUGE SUC-CESS for the Club and the Com-munity.
LCC hosted, and sponsored, the
Brainerd, Pillager, Pequot

(Awesome Participation)
2017 was again ambitious, but
with members contributing
their time and talent, we got a
lot accomplished. THANKS
AGAIN to ALL who stepped-
up to the challenge.
We look forward to 2018.
Please attend and support the
Wild Game Dinner and the
businesses that partner to
make this the best community
event in the Brainerd Lakes
Area.
We have a few more improve-
ments project slated for 2018.
Volunteers will again be need-
ed. As our Membership and
Partners continue to grow,
LCC grows as a leader in
shooting sports and outdoor
recreation in the Brainerd
Lakes Area. Encourage your
friends and family to stop by
and see what we have to of-
fer. They will have a good
time. That’s our mission and
you’re part of its success…

Best BANG for Your Buck
The Board of Directors have
voted to increase the yearly
membership fee to $60.00,
effective Jan. 1, 2018. The
last time there was an in-
crease was in 2014. A lot
has changed and improved in
the past few years. With
growth comes additional
maintenance, repair, and
staffing costs. Most agree
that a Lakeshore Conserva-
tion Club Membership is an
awesome value for your fami-
ly. Many would say: “The
Best Bang for Your Buck”.
