Clay Target Club and regional council present programs and outreach to commissioners
Summary
Dickinson Clay Target Club described growth in youth trap shooting, a planned clubhouse (with a Game & Fish grant and private donations) and activities that draw regional participants; Roosevelt Custer Regional Council reported recent grants and marketing efforts to attract workforce and tourism to the region.
Two community organizations updated the Stark County Commission about programs and regional work.
Dickinson Clay Target Club: Carrie Roller, accompanied by 16-year-old shooter Jaylee Roller and parent Melissa, presented the Dickinson Clay Target Club (DCTC) as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) offering a high-school trap program, adult leagues and community events on Dickinson Parks & Rec property. Speakers said the high-school spring league grew from under 30 to about 62 students and noted scholarship and travel opportunities for top shooters. The club described fundraising, Game & Fish grant support for a new clubhouse with a year‑round simulation/training room and plans to add additional trap houses; membership fees reported were $40 per family and $20 for students. Presenters said the clubhouse fundraising includes private donations and in‑kind contributions and invited commissioners and the public to upcoming events.
Roosevelt Custer Regional Council: Taryn Doerr, executive director, summarized the council’s regional economic and community development work. Doerr said the council helped secure more than $4 million in outside funding for Region 8 during the previous year, assisted with infrastructure and workforce-development grant writing, launched a Southwest North Dakota workforce-marketing campaign and produced relocation and tourism planning materials. She asked for continued county support to maintain the council’s federal matching eligibility and invited commissioners to a “State of Region 8” event on May 20.
Both presentations were informational; no commission action was required. Club representatives thanked the commission and asked for public awareness and support.
Commissioners commended the volunteer leadership and noted opportunities for community partnerships and youth development.
