OLD BUSINESS President Wright opened discussion on the WAFB range. Bob Stalker
sent a letter outlining tax exempt criteria. President Wright doesn't think the
club will qualify. Director Jolley spoke with Oscoda Township board members who
indicated they would be willing to work out a reduced tax rate. President Wright
agreed to contact Bob Stalker in an effort to arrange a meeting between the
board of directors and the Oscoda Township board members.
Director Jolley presented quotes from two different porta-potty companies.
President Wright opened discussion on having someone at the club each day to
collect range fees, which would mean the bathroom facilities inside would be
available to anyone on the range. Director Moehler might have a source for
obtaining a porta-potty at no cost.
Range Officer Pillsbury explained the shooting shed is complete with the
exception of building a sound proof wall. Motion made and passed to spend $100
for materials to build the sound proof wall.
Range Officer Pillsbury showed the group a sample of the material to be used for
the range fee deposit box sign and the envelopes to be used. Material for the
sign will be about $40.00. The envelope cost will depend on the wording used in
print and amount ordered.
Club hats are in.
President Wright opened discussion about membership dues explaining a system he
learned of from another club. That club offers an a la carte system; if club
members want a key to the club house they pay an extra $5.00, if they want to be
a member of MUCC through their club they pay a certain amount, if they want
range privileges they pay so much, etc. Further discussion will take place on a
plan for ICSC.
Director Anderson opened discussion on the December general membership meeting
suggesting a wild game dinner. It was decided to serve venison and attendees
will bring a dish to pass.

paint the kitchen. He also suggested the kitchen needs new pots and pans.
