Treasurers’ report: Cheri Reed reports $4,781.65 in the bank in addition to two CDs at roughly $2,500 and $1,200 each.
Committee reports:
Spotted Eagle electrical improvements have broke ground, photos will be taken and submitted along with final report (when finished) to be eligible for grant payment of $3,000 from Caviar Grant. Payment is also forthcoming from HRH. Keith Hall reports that they had to buy a case of wasp/ hornet spray due to the nest issues in the area before work could be done. Also noted, a special thanks to Kevin Boschee for his hard work at the trap range, Keith gave him a 100 year club hat as a token of appreciation.
Todd Birch will send Jackie Muri an invoice for the 28 cases of clays used for the HRH benefit Shoot. Reports that the attendance was down from last year will not hamper intentions for another shoot next year. All that commented expect attendance to be up again next year.
John Hartwick (via Cheri Reed) reports that 8 women participated in the Ladies trap shooting program this summer. They shot 525 targets and used 10 boxes of club provided shells.
Jesse Smith reports that Action Pistol has turned in payments of $190.00 and $96.00 since the last meeting to Cheri Reed.
Old Business: None
New Business:
Jesse Smith states concerns with the height of the berms on the range and has contacted Doedens for a quote on additional dirt work. At $105.00 per hour Fred Tetschner moved to budget $500.00 for doing the needed work, Kenny B. provided a second and the vote was unanimous in favor.
Jeff Williams has built a new sign for CR&GC to be erected at Spotted Eagle, after much discussion Todd Birch will provide him with the proper location for placement.
Keith Hall and Cheri Reed report that the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts want to use Spotted Eagle for their district event. They will be using the trap and archery ranges Friday and Saturday the 20th and 21st beginning at 6:00 pm Friday. The range will be closed to the public and club members during this time. The motion was made by Cheri, seconded by John Olsen and passed via unanimous vote. Camping approval had already been obtained from the city of Miles City.
Randy A. reports that next years “renewal” memberships will have to be purchased differently from now on. Since the club has access cards, members simply mail in their payments and the card stays active. If they let the membership lapse, the card has to be disabled and either paid for, or turned back into the club. If the member does not turn the card in or renew it in time they will not have immediate access if/when they do decide to renew.
Because the lock is manually programmed, to renew or reactivate a cancelled card, has to be done at the lock and even though a member pays for the membership, if it’s done after a cancellation it will result in a delay of one to two weeks before the member can use (get into) the range. A letter will be drafted and sent to all of the club members urging renewal prior to and through annual banquet time. Shortly after the annual banquet Randy will have to disable all unpaid membership access cards.
Next months meeting will be held at Spotted Eagle
Meeting adjourned at 7:58
