100 Club
Salute | 21 Club supports law enforcement
The 100 Club of Gillespie County is dedicated to supporting law enforcement officers. The 100 Club, a non-profit organization, describes its purpose as “to raise the level of Gillespie County support for peace officers who have pledged to protect us.”

This includes Fredericksburg Police Department, Gillespie County Sheriff’s Office, game warden officers with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, Gillespie County constables and the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association’s Special Ranger.
In addition, the club updated the police firing range by providing mobile targets. They also built a mobile barbecue pit for them.
Most recently, the 100 Club reimbursed the four constable offices for rifle-rated ballistic body armor.
Every spring, the club also hosts a free banquet for all officers, spouses and club members. At the banquet, the names of the officers attending are placed into a bowl.
Of those, 24-30 are drawn to win a free weapon (recorded and run through Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms).
At the banquet, they also conduct a business meeting to appoint leadership for the year, and honor law enforcement members with service awards.
The club holds board meetings every two months, and the general membership meeting is held annually during the spring banquet.
The 100 Club is always accepting new members.
Dues are $100 a year or $1,000 for a life membership.

To all those who protect and serve... we give our sincere thanks.
