Cheri Reed reported that we haven’t received a bill.
– Shotgun Range: Chris Schlepp reported he has been opening the shotgun range for the past 3 Sundays. They have sold 50 chips. He will turn in money collected at the next month’s meeting.
– Cowboy Action: Randy Hart reported they had 6 shooters at the March shoot. He turned in $8 but still owes the club another $4.
– Rifle Instructor Certification: Jesse Smith reported that out of the people who responded to the club’s email looking for people interested in being certified in exchange for teaching the Youth .22 class for three years, he selected the four people who where the most willing and able to take the class and commit to the 3 year requirement. Chris Schlepp indicated that some other people had already contacted Fred Tetschner directly about the class. The Board decided by consensus that Jesse would send a list of the four people who the club is paying for, to Fred, and anyone else Fred accepts in the class is up to Fred to collect payment for as he sees fit.
