Subject to Article VII, section 3 under my authority as President I am calling a Special Meeting of the Club to discuss the following items:

1.  A second reading of the changes proposed by the By-Laws Committee

And

2. The renovation of the Indoor Range

The Executive Board has passed unanimously a motion to authorize this major capital expenditure subject to the approval of the Body:

The E-Board recommends that the Club undertake the renovation of the indoor range.  The Club plans to borrow $250-$300k for Phase I of the indoor range renovation.  Phase I will address the fundamental health and safety issues by removing lead and developing a clean “range envelope” and rebuilding the range and replacing the ventilation, the backstop, and the open floor.  By addressing these fundamentals, the Club can reopen the range to the membership in the shortest possible timeframe.  Pursuant to Body approval, the Board directs the Treasurer to secure financing at commercially available rates to undertake the project.

This meeting is to be held at the Club on January 24th at 7 pm.

President – Bob Trombly
Vice President – Jon Shepard*
Secretary – Bud Parker*
Treasurer – Mike Murphy

E-Board:
Andy Woods
Jayson Stoner
Scott Grant.

The thanks of the Club to all who put themselves forward as candidates for office. As two board members have vacated their positions to become Club officers, the new board will form at the January meeting and post for a sign-up sheet in the Club lounge for the vacancies thereafter.

Candidates should plan to present themselves at the February meeting for interview and selection by the E-Board.

Want a chance to have a little something extra in your stocking for Christmas?

Check this out! As you know dues are due on January 1st for 2022. More than 250 strong have already paid their dues, many using QuickBooks invoices that were emailed out to pay online using credit cards or eChecks. The faster we get through the renewals the faster we can get to work on improvements at the club for 2022.

 

So, we want to give everyone just a little bit more incentive to wrap up their renewal early. Pay on line, mail or in cash as received at the club by 12/24 Christmas eve and we’ll put you in a lottery to get your membership fee refunded!

 

HO,HO,HO! Perhaps virtue is its own reward. Thanks to all and a Happy2022!
