OLD BUSINESS
President Wright briefed the group on the progress of the site committee for the
Oscoda range. The group meets again on 9/8. There is a meeting scheduled with a
NRA range technical advisor tentatively for 9/22.
Nothing new to report on the porta-potty for the range and the NRA insurance
quotes. Treasurer Marsh explained that liability insurance is due end of the
month.
Range Officer Pillsbury reported shoot shed needs one more load of fill dirt
then it is ready for either cement or crushed stone.
The paint has been bought for the kitchen-redecorating project. Contact Range
Officer Pillsbury to work out a schedule for painting.
President Wright directed members to sign up for club logo shirts. Once there
are twelve requests he will place another order.
Director Mc Kinney explained pin shoots is still in the works.
Range Officer Pillsbury gave the group a review of rental house repairs.
Interior has been repainted. Two new entry doors have been installed, the
attached storage room has been insulated to preserve heat. He explained the
attic needs insulation too citing there is only about 2 inches of insulation
allowing heat to escape.
President Wright explained that Director Clay Jolley resigned his position as a
board director but will maintain club membership.
Treasurer Marsh had the septic tank cleaned again and it appears to be
functioning all right. President Wright wants bids to replace the tile field so
the board has an idea what to expect when replacement is necessary.
NEW BUSINESS
Director Anderson reviewed the IDPA schedule for September and October.
President Wright explained a misunderstanding at the June general membership
meeting that postponed the annual election of officers and reviewed candidate
names. He asked the membership for additional nominations. Candidates on the
ballot for the board of directors election were Dale Bertch, Tom Dombroski, John
Garner, Tom Marsh, Eric McNeill and Chet Michalski.
Discussion was opened on the increase in membership dues. President Wright asked
the members for input. Motion was made and passed to reduce the annual
membership dues back to $50 in 2004 in an attempt to recover the 100 members who
did not renew their dues in 2003. With a second motion made by Director Kindell
to revote on reducing membership dues, making sure only members vote, not their
guests, the reduction of dues motion was voted upon a second time. The motion
was denied.
A suggestion was made for the club to consider establishing an associate
membership status with lesser dues for those who want to support the club but
who are not necessarily an active member.
Member Neal Miller announced that member Murial Koepp has donated a five stand
voice activated release for the trap range. It is to be delivered in the week of
Sept. 8th.
Member Jan Cortwright made motion that the club dues stay at $60 but a $10
credit given back on the following years dues to those who complete
approximately 8 hours volunteer work.
Motion passed.
Election held for new board members. Tom Marsh was reelected. New board members
are Tom Dombroski, Chet Michalski, and Eric McNeill.
Range Officer Pillsbury reviewed a project letter he had compiled explaining
projects that need volunteer workers and observations of expenses incurred by
the club. Motion was made and passed to mail this informative letter to all
current members as well as last years members.
President Wright went through the mailbag
