There is school furniture for donation at Oscoda Schools. Randy will check on

Fencing around WAFB: It’s a matter of just taking it and making it go away. Need
volunteers to remove posts and fence. Chet, Harold, Dale, Harry, and Randy will
be going with Lynn to see where the fence will be coming from; where it needs to
go at the new range and to determine where the new berms will go.

The Deed for the new range is to be transferred for a fee of $347.00.
Trap Purchase: it’s in and operational. Chet thinks there is not enough amperage
to the motor; ie. It’s getting hot. Need to run a new dedicated line to the
machine.
There was a nice article in the paper about our new Trap by Neil Miller They’re
going to have a card system for shooting trap; ie. 27.50 for 10 rounds; should
be a money maker. Going to try to set up a winter trap league. League shooting
will be $3.00 for 26 shots or $6.00 for 50 shots. The old trap will be kept for
the time being.
Building Fund: There is nothing new at this time.
New Business:
New Trap: They would like to run a training class to teach people how to load
and operate the machine. Will write up a protocol sheet as to operation of
machine, costs per round, hours of operation, and possible practice time
(possibly Wednesday, about 3pm before 4-H starts using it)
NRA Grant: $2000.00 Need to document how we spend it. Then plan on writing
another grant next year.
Directors: Would like all directors to step up and be POC (point of contact) for
getting things done; like special events, speakers, maintenance, list of
projects, and etc. Penny will put a list of projects and needs in news letter.
Need a delegate to the Tawas Chamber of Commerce to provide input as to goings
on.
Penny reported on Woman’s Day: They all had a great time! Thinking about having
it on the 16th of September next year. Will be changing some things; and hoping
to have 60 to 80 women next year Next year may be planning Ladies Day, “Jakes
Day”, and Hunter Safety all coordinated together. Randy will be contacting the
lady in charge of Oscoda Chamber of Commerce to have her disseminate
information. He also talked about forming a “Founder’s Club” to help raise funds
for the new range. Thinking of $100.00/individual (gets a name on a plaque) or
maybe $500.00/business (gets a sign in the club house) Price for business may be
decided according to the size of the sign.
Road to ISC can be graded for $250.00 by Tawas Sand and Gravel. We can have
gravel added for $160.00/10 yards. Will be talking to people at Jay’s concerning
sharing the cost. Motion made and seconded to have grading done.
