Mike Straub, Joe Mitchell install door, windows, first-floor siding on clubhouse

The boys (Mike Straub and Joe Mitchell) got a good day in on the club house on Saturday.

The door and windows are in, the first floor is sided, and weather permitting, the rest should be done in the next couple weeks.

They weather-proofed it so if they get shut out for the rest of the year due to weather, it will be fine. It looks real good.

- Randy Mitchell

Due to the predicted storm this weekend, the work party scheduled for Sunday, 10/28, is canceled and rescheduled for Sunday, 11/4, at 2 p.m. to finish the 50-yard backstop.

 

Thanks,

- Tom Hamilton

New front door installed with combination lock

The new front door has been installed, and it has a combination lock on it. The combination is the same as the gate lock.

 

Mike Straub has been doing a lot of work at and hopes to have the front of the clubhouse done before the snow flies.  Thanks, Mike.

 

There will be another work party on Sunday, 10/28, at 2 p.m. to finish the 50-yard back stop. Carl Huss and I got it started today, but we needed more help. It should not take any more that 2 or 3 hours to finish.

Also, if any members need points, we need the shooting room cleaned up, the wood outside needs brought in, brush and trees need trimmed back in the driveway, a couple of pot holes need filled in at the driveway, the grill needs put in the tractor shed for the winter and the grass needs mowed around the club one more time.

Thanks,

 

- Tom

Meeting Minutes

Meeting was called to order by Tom Hamilton at 7:30 p.m. on October 13^th, 2012

The September minutes were presented by Randy Mitchell and were approved on a motion by Joel Dutra and a second by Dave McNeel. The treasurer’s report was presented by George McCoy and approved on a motion by Marty Hrin and a second by Steve Strouse.

 Match Reports – The deer rifle winners were Joel Dutra and Bob Huston. Tom Hamilton, Joel Dutra and Mike Solida tied for second in the High-power match. There was no 22 match and no IBS report from Brian Allen.  The Chukar hunt went very well.

Old Business

After a lengthy discussion it was decided that we will purchase and award a grand prize in the name of Steve McClure at our annual fishing derby.

The shotgun patterning target has been completed.

New Business
We continue to have a problem with damage to the various targets at the club. Several lights were shot out at the 100 and 200 yard ranges. The 400 yard target holders were shot and the new turkey target had targets and junk left after it was used. Suggestions are needed to eliminate these problems. We discussed having sign in sheets, setting up game cameras etc.. .

Charles Bungo made a motion to donate $100.00 to the Grampian Penn/Bloom fire department and it passed on a James Johnston second.

Steve McClure left his membership to his son Kyle, and Kyle has assumed Steve’s membership as of the September meeting.

The annual Grice January Sale will be January 26/27, 2013. Steve Strouse has volunteered to man a table for Anderson Creek . We will need additional volunteers to represent the club at the sale.

After repeated attempts to contact Brian Allen concerning the IBS matches it was decided that we need to make some changes to the IBS matches. It was suggested that Steve Strouse become a director/assistant director of the matches and that the times need to be changed to an earlier start time. Steve Strouse will let us know his intentions by the next meeting.

On a motion by Shannon McKee and a second by Steve Strouse, Joel Harris has been contracted to plow the snow at the club for $30.00 per occurrence.

Joe Mitchell and Steve Straub have purchased the materials to repair the front of the club house. On a Marty Hrin motion and a Walt Kuzemchock second the motion to buy a new steel door with a wooden frame passed, and on a Charles Bungo motion and a Shannon McKee second a combination lock with a combination matching the gate code will be installed in the new door.           

There will be a work party to repair the 50 yard range target on October 21^st  at 2:00 pm, all members are urged to attend.      

Dave McNeel won the door prize for the first time in 75 years of attendance.         

Dan Francisco made a motion to adjourn and Andy Chimenti seconded the motion.

Respectfully submitted by Randy Mitchell secretary.
