a. Discussion was had on how to avoid the outstanding non-payment of long standing bills. Some possibilities:

(1) Leave checkbook with club president when treasurer is out of town.

(2) Use of debit card with preset balance (to be determined) by President and Vice President.

b. Report by BA Thomas - Membership Secretary

(1) Founders Club - lots of confusion now with the different levels of founders membership (i.e. silver, gold, platinum, double platinum). Some members have been billed for an additional year when their founder's membership has not run out. Tom Dombroski made motion to credit founders' members who have paid extra with the number of years they have paid for. Motion was second by Dan Welton, motion passed.

Discussion for commercial founders' members, motion made by Dan Welton to obtain two (2) plaques of recognition - one to give to the business and one to keep at "Founders Park". Want to build a gazebo type structure at Founders Park with kiosk in center to display plaques and have public dedication once its completed; and possible pig roast and fixings (to be discussed further). Greg Gueldenzopf will investigate possibility of renting tent. Dan Welton will check into possibility of getting potable water for use at Wurtsmith. Planning a pig roast at Tawas range on Sunday, September 7th, 2008. Tom Marsh is going to do the roast. There will be a general membership dinner on September 3rd. Dan Welton will talk to Tom Marsh about cooking meal.

(2) Computer for membership secretary. BA Thomas brought up request to have club purchase a laptop so that she can do the necessary work of her position. The laptop will be used by her for membership secretary duties and if she should not perform those duties, the laptop returns to the possession of the club. She's done research and found the following:
Dell Latitude D830 is a good one - capable of doing everything necessary - cost $1,546.54
Dell Latitude D630 similar but does less - cost $1,479.78
Motion made by Tom Majewski, second by Art Troy to purchase the D830.

c. Discussion Round Table:

(1) Tom Majewski - suggested shooters at matches be given some sort of "prize" for winning such as a patch. Also having a "money match" where winner gets some cash. Tom will look in the possibilities of the patches.

(2) Art Troy: Offered "Daily Sheet of Receipts" for the Wurtsmith range, could be used at Tawas as well. Good way of accounting for cash flow when the Wurtsmith range is open.

(3) Tom Dombroski: Mentioned Dave Wright's email and concern that the targets/frames are kept close to the burm/backstop to prevent bullets from skipping over the top of burms. The issue is already being address with printed messages "DON'T MOVE THE TARGETS".

(4) Eugene Kindell: Asked about next cement pour at the 300 yard range. It's going to be at 11:00 am on Tuesday, July 8th.

(5) Greg Gueldenzopf: Can get free press reports in Iosco paper if we can give them at least a week's notice.

(6) Dan Welton: It's July with January's minutes still on the website for ISC - this is embarrassing! That website needs to be updated in a timely fashion.

VIII. Motion to adjourn by Eugene Kindell, second by Greg Gueldenzopf. Meeting adjourned at 9:47 p.m. by President Lynn Pillsbury.

Minutes are respectfully submitted by Tom Dombroski (momentary secretary).
