Once again we had our October meeting and there were

a great number of issues because we did not meet

in September. I think the big thing is we now have a new

Webmaster. Let's all welcome Michael King who has volun-

teered to do the job. Let's also give Anita a big thanks for keeping our pages up

for such a long time. The other big thing that came up is we are now going to

require EVERYONE to attend one membership orientation. That means old

members as well as new members to the club. These will be somehow tied into

the renewal process as well as for those joining the club for the first time. We

still have to work thru the details on this but I can assure you that we will try to

make this as painless as possible for all involved. It is our hope that this may

be a solution to some of the problems we have been having at the range these

past few months. I would also like to ask that when you take that hunting trip

that you take your camera. We need up to date pictures out in the range.

cated mild interest. Renee Krawiec said she

And then Michael King said he would do it.

So thank you, Michael for stepping up and

for those who offered.

b. Broadhead Report

1. Gary Krause’s letter was read.

2. Al Tharp reported that he had to clean

up the range again on Wednesday

where broadheads were shot-the cen

ter of one bail was shot out-they shot

clear through it.

3. Mike Hoover-said we aren’t going to

stop it, you have to catch who is doing

it.

4. Neal Perkins-said the board has to do

something when they do catch who

ever is doing it.

5. Bob Day said there are steps when

someone catches a member vandaliz-

ing the club property. Someone needs

to personally see them do it, then that

person has to go to court to testify that

they saw them vandalizing the club’s

property. He said that they are look

ing at different locking systems in-

cluding cameras. It will report who

was in the building and when. Then it

will be up to the members to report

vandalism, the board can then see who

was in the building at the time and can

use the information to prosecute.

6. Other Suggestions: a) mandatory

orientation for new members

b) print a banner with the club rules;

and c) do a survey of the club mem-

bers and have them vote on the issue.
