OLD BUSINESS: A general discussion about the Club being able to accept on line payment for membership, and renewal was held. One member volunteered to further explore this issue and what would be required and the cost. Five additional loads of gravel have been delivered and spread at the range. Chuck Lopas who has coordinated this project feels we need three more loads to finish the job. It was moved, seconded and passed to purchase three more loads and spread them.

NEW BUSINESS: The roof on the target sheds is in poor shape, and needs replacement. It is estimated to cost approximately $2,000.

Following discussion it was moved, seconded and passed to purchase shelving for the target shed up to a total cost of $150. The Pro Second Amendment is requesting the Club pay for a maximum of three adult and three junior NRA memberships as prizes for their essay contest. This has been agreed to in the past but we were never notified who to purchase the memberships for.
