President Wright initiated thanks to all for a nice dinner and to Nikki
Pillsbury for preparation of the venison dishes.
President Wright introduced guest speaker Dale Schanz from MCRGO. Mr. Schanz
expressed thanks for club members support in the recent election and explained
two main initiatives that MCRGO is working on now. He asked for support through
legislative contact. Secretary Hanley pointed out that the web site for MCRGO
doesn't offer the $5.00 discount for membership dues, Mr. Schanz will have the
error corrected. Member Neal Miller questioned if MCRGO could possibly be of any
help to the ICSC in securing ownership of the WAFB range. Mr. Schanz said he
thinks his organization can be of help. Other questions and concerns were
addressed.
OLD BUSINESS President Wright addressed the membership with an update on the
WAFB range. Since the DEQ is unwilling to give the club any immunity of previous
contamination of the property, Bob Stalker suggests a meeting in Lansing to
resolve the issue. President Wright stated a possible RECRA change but it could
take as much as a year. Member Neal Miller encouraged the group to press Mr.
Stalker to set up the meeting in Lansing, pointing out that the club has tried
for ten years to secure the WAFB range and should not turn its backs on the
process at this point.
Director Don Moehler has obtained a porta-potty for the club. It will be moved
to the range in the near future.
Range Officer Pillsbury explained that the sound proofing in the new shooting
shed has not been completed yet.
Range Officer Pillsbury explained the range fee deposit box will be stocked with
envelopes by first of year.
President Wright stated that rental house lease needs to be renewed.
President Wright stated that any suggestions from the membership would be
welcomed regarding ways to encourage club members to volunteer time with work
projects at the club.
Range Officer Pillsbury addressed the need to redecorate the club kitchen and
update the small appliances and cooking utensils. Call Lynn if you can volunteer
to help. The project will begin in January.
Director Moehler explained he has contacted the NRA for insurance quotes on all
the club's insurance needs but does not have the bottom line as yet.
NEW BUSINESS Range Officer Pillsbury reviewed pistol league dates. 4-H begins
their BB gun league 1/10/03.
A club member suggested using e-mail to communicate club dinner dates, work
projects, etc. rather than spending money for postage. President Wright
explained the club is moving in that direction. Secretary Hanley stated he is
compiling a list of club members with e-mail access and will share it with all
board members for future club event communications.
NEW MEMBERS Not available
