Website Updates and Member Comments
We want to let all of our esteemed members know that if you would like to leave a comment in the Member Only section, you may post a comment using this url https://wegc.org/members/member-chat/
Matias Silva who is the club Web Master and the WEGC Tech Team are working on improving our member experience on the website. One of our immediate goals is to fix website bugz. One of the things that we are working fixing is the member password reset. We had an issue with website email delivery.
We also fixed the “Remember Me” setting when you login to the website so that it now remembers you for 60 days.
We are also working on adding more features and functionality with the website. We have other projects that we are planning to help with the club’s operations.
I would like to officially introduce our Tech Team to the club.
Fernando Montes – Full Stack Software Developer
Gino Petrivelli – Applications
Christian Farr – Applications, Email, Sysadmin
Christian Crayton – Cybersecurity
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to drop me a line at webmaster@wegc.org. Thank you.

Take Action Now! Urge Governor Newsom to Veto AB1743!
AB 1743 (Stefani) would make private information of Gun Owners available to towns, cities, counties, state agencies, and community colleges to create data pools and studies to demonize the firearms community!
While framed as a research and public-safety measure, it significantly expands access to sensitive firearms-tracing data without meaningful safeguards.
It does little to address violent crime or illegal firearm trafficking. Instead, it risks turning crime-gun data into a tool for studies and advocacy that target and demonize law-abiding gun owners.
Given the California DOJ’s prior data breaches involving firearm owners and CCW holders, broader distribution of this information raises serious privacy and security concerns and could enable harassment, targeting, or further infringements on Second Amendment rights.
Join CRPA and urge the Governor to VETO AB 1743 TODAY!
Your voice matters — especially at this final stage. Please send your letter now!

Hydration
Word on Hydration. It’s very important that you are hydrated the the night before you come out to the range. One way of knowing you are hydrated is if your urine is clear. If it’s yellow, then you probably haven’t drank enough.
With the high temps that we are experiencing, you will be pouring out sweat buckets and you need to replenish the salt that you lost due to excessive sweating. Beyond popular believe by the experts, the body needs salt and sugar. If you have any muscle cramping, salt usually will relieve that.
One of the early signs of dehydration is fatigue, tiredness, or loss of energy.
Bring Gatorade or your favorite brand of electrolytes to replenish all your nutrients lost due to sweating. Water alone is not enough, to bounce back.
Consider bringing a radio to ask for assistance when needed. We have to look out for each other. The range shack should have extra waters in the newly supplied fridge.
Semper Paratus!
Snakes
Watch out for snakes! It’s getting hot and the slithering bastards are coming out to play. Please be alert when near brush, cement pads, connex boxes, and porta potties. You can find First Aid documentation for snake bites here: https://wegc.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/rattlesnake-bites-prevention-and-first-aid.pdf
