Treasurer’s Report: (On file)

Range Report:

            Randall will serve as Range Captain taking over for Lou.

We are missing two targets. All targets will be stenciled. An additional lock will be placed on the clubhouse.

            Accepted: Steve¹-Eric² (unanimous)

Old Business:

            Jay has drafted a letter to Karol Peterson re: possible permanence of property usage and will send.

            Work- Bee went well despite meager turnout. Approximately 12 members attended. Possible reasons for lack of participation: (1) weather, and (2) notification.

            A canopy has been purchased for various uses.

New Business:

            Jay suggested announcing schedule of traditional shoots via e-mail. The exact schedule is forthcoming.

            “Family Day” or “Open House” discussed and planned for July.  Jay will set it up.

            “Antlers Shoot” discussed as Vern is incapacitated.  All agreed that we should try hard to make it happen anyway, and that is the goal. 

            Dan Cote offered to donate 3- 3D targets to the club. Board will offer a family membership as a reciprocal gift.

            Gate Indian is being repaired. It was apparently whacked by a snow plow.

            Placing commercial signs in range is being considered.  Maintaining the beauty and relative wilderness atmosphere of the acreage is a concern. 

            Monetary work-bee opt-out discussed.  Mr. Wellings opined that he would like a “club atmosphere” developed, which would not include such an opt-out as it would circumvent member participation.  Mr. Booth concurred. According to Booth, working on the range and shooting together was conducive to, “camaraderiemanship.” 

            The board discussed ways getting groups of kids to the club.  The boy scouts were specifically mentioned and this will be looked into.

            New board members are Colby Beauchaine and Robert Belmore. Welcome gentlemen!

Adjourned: 8:45                             Next Meeting: July 6, 7:00 (PWPL)                Frank Bailey (Secretary)

Eric¹-Steve² (unanimous)
