The Chelsea Rod & Gun Club was founded in 1936 and the first
president of the organization was Harvey Murphy (now deceased). The club
was incorporated as a 501-C-3 organization in 2003 for the purposes of:
a) To participate, and inform others, in the protection of natural resources
including air, surface waters, aquifers, soil, minerals, plant life, wild
and domestic animals, and other living creatures.
b) To develop transferable
skills in the sportsmanlike, legal harvesting of surplus game animals,
game birds and game fish while sharing in the protection of endangered
species. c) To maintain an ongoing program of instruction to all
age-qualified persons in the safe, responsible management of firearms,
outdoors and at home, with the help of club instructors certified by the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources. d) To provide a special
encouragement to youth for the safe enjoyment of the outdoors, and ongoing
concern for the protection of natural resources.
