NRA Foundation Awards Grants to Sheriff’s Office

Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek announced that the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office received a grant from the NRA Foundation and Friends of NRA in the amount of $3,333. The money received from the grant will be used to fund the purchase of service ammunition to be used for enhanced firearms training for sheriff’s deputies, reserve deputies, and corrections personnel.

The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office has been receiving grants from Friends of NRA for many years now.

We would also like to remind everyone that the Tri-County Friends of the NRA Banquet and Fundraiser is going to be held July 30, at the K of C Hall in Schulenburg.
