Minutes of November 03, 2004 Club Meeting

On November 03, 2004, the October monthly meeting was held at the clubhouse at 08:08 PM. The minutes from the previous months meeting were read and approved.

Correspondences: Mark Fair called Paul Lilja to donate 1,000 rounds of .22 cal. ammunition to be used for kid events. Consensus is that we will accept them with that stipulation. No other action taken.

Treasurer’s Report: The bills were read and approved with a balance of $8,957.56. Paul is still waiting on the bill for the Conservation School van rental.

Membership: 134 total members.

79 annual, 47 life & 8 complimentary memberships.
Membership is out of membership cards. The club approved Jim Berger ordering new membership cards.
Membership buttons were also discussed with no further action taken other than prices need to be obtained.

Old business:

The club has decided not to nominate anyone for Conservation District Farm Director at this time.
There was no further information available on the NRA grant program at this meeting. This topic will remain on the agenda.
Spraying of the clubhouse did not occur due to cold temperatures. Temperature needs to be in the 60s to stain the clubhouse.

A motion was made and passed to obtain a plague to dedicate the Rifle House to the memory of Hank Nagengast. Bill Sallade will contact Dave Hauber to have the plague made. Discussion followed concerning a larger plague to be placed in the clubhouse for memorialize club members.

Discussion around the electric bill and the pole light ensued.
