b. Porta Potties at Tawas range need to be serviced.
c. Dealing with checkbook while Treasurer is out of town still needs to be taken
care of.
d. Using debit card w/preset balance still needs to be taken care of.
e. Letter read from President of Glennie Sportsman’s Club suggested we should
consider positive motivation for people volunteering – instead of negative
motivation (i.e. fines for not working). Keith Moir suggested possible free
shoot and pizza (or something along those lines) as reward for working or
possible free hat or combination of things. Brad suggested having list of
possible things to give to volunteers that they might choose from (i.e. hats,
shirts, shells, range pass, etc.).
f. Discussion on new club brochure developed by Jodi Spencer. Mike Smith
suggested there should be pictures of “happy” things/people in brochure. Other
word changes were discussed as well. Jodi will get this completed and 500
printed.
g. Still planning the pig roast for September 7th. Tent will be donated, no
charge, by “Main Gate Rental” in Oscoda.
h. Tom Majewski checked into getting various patches for various shooter winners
– way expensive if they are all different. Suggested getting 200 patches,
circular w/Iosco Sportsmen’s Club around perimeter w/ “Match Winner” in center.
Would be
around $450.00 with contrasting colors. Tom asked for motion, Greg Gueldenzopf
second – motion passed.
7. New Business:
a. Water at Wurtsmith – Tom Dombroski – talked to Ed Schwiderson out of AuGres.
He suggested one (1) 4,000 gallon tank or two (2) 2,500 gallon tanks housed in a
shed or an underground tank – this would be more money. We would need permit,
might get tank from Linwood Tile or M-Supply in West Branch. More discussion –
Mike Smith suggested w/the proper engineering a well might be reality. Lynn
Pillsbury suggested Mike investigate his thoughts and suggested Tom investigate
further into costs of tanks. Art Troy talked about his discussion w/the township
supervisor – says only option is to have above ground tank in heated building.
b. Checking account for Wurtsmith – Dan Welton wants a second checking account
specifically for use at Wurtsmith. Discussion – Mike Smith opposed to this
second account – we have a system that needs fixing – period. Keith Moir opposed
as well – not going to be involved as Treasurer w/someone else running a second
checkbook. Tom Dombroski brought up fact of need for backup when Keith is not
available and suggested we do something to either make checkbook available when
he’s gone or re-visit idea of debit card. More discussion – Debit card seems to
be best idea, with a probable limit of $2,000.00.
8. Open discussion:
a. Tom Marsh is supposed to be cooking for the September general membership
meeting. – Tom is not present – do not know menu.
b. Tom Majewski – brought up idea of movable steel targets – four (4) stands –
cost around $600.00 or less on 300 yard range – motion tabled.
c. Art Troy – requested results of matches so they can be posted at Wurtsmith
range. Also asked if the amount of money collected and spent for match be made
known as a means of checks and balances.
d. Keith Moir – asked someone to call people who filled out the info cards. Dave
Anderson volunteered.
e. Greg Gueldenzopf – questioned where advertising budget is spent. Suggested
placing ads in local paper on busy weekends to try to attract new shooters thru
the shooting season (May – September). Greg will do advertising.
f. Greg Gueldenzopf – wants to know if both sides of berm can be fired upon at
same time for IDPA – answer is NO! Not allowed to shoot toward air base.
g. Mike Smith – brought up idea of “Quigley Shoot” – he would like to make it
happen. Maybe on limited basis in September.
