From the Feb 19th membership meeting

 

Call to order, Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance by Jeff Reese

Secretary’s report, Treasurer’s report presented and accepted by membership.

           

Next month’s members meetings will be on Monday the 18th

Old Business; A change to the Bylaws was approved; to make a requirement for all future Board Members to have served as a board member in the past or as an officer, or chairman of a committee.  This will assure all board members are familiar with the operations of the club and understand what is needed. 

New Business; The Gate code will stay the same for this year and will be changed again for next year. The ceiling of the club house needs some repair.  There are areas that are not properly sealed and insects are getting into the building.  We are getting several bids to do the repairs and $7K was approved for the work.  We are disconnecting the land line and exploring options for a cell phone to be placed in the clubhouse for EMERGENCY USE.  Additional options may be needed and we are looking into satellite internet connections if the cell phone plan does not work.  

SAFETY AND RULES COMPLIANCE

Cross shooting on the rifle rage is strictly prohibited!!!  The shooting stands, above and below are marked for the targets that can be shot from the stands.  ONLY the target DIRECTLY in front and marked can be shot from the stand.  ANYONE cross firing on the rifle range is discharging a firearm in an unsafe manor and subject to their membership being revoked.  If you witness anyone cross firing, please address this with them immediately and contact the Board members if there is any continued cross shooting or pushback by the member.   Photos of the individual and the vehicle and tag will assist us in addressing who is responsible for the issue.  If you have any questions; please contact any of the Board members.
