The passing of Club Members.  When one of our Club Members passes away, the Club contributes $200 for flowers or to help out with expenses.

Range Maintenance.  Riley asked that Club Members report maintenance issues they find to himself or Roy so that repairs can be done.  Their phone numbers are available on the web site and on the message board entering the indoor range.

Membership Renewals.  Riley talked about the process for renewing Club Membership for next year.  Club members must attend at least one meeting every year and get their membership card punched.  Your card must be punched no later than the December 2025 meeting to be eligible to use the mail in renewal and must be postmarked no later than March 31.  Mail in renewals must be accompanied by your punched Membership card, correct dues and a completed “B” Form. Dues for Senior Members is $50 a year. Dues for Regular Members is $100 per year.

Meeting etiquette.  Riley asked Club Members refrain from using profanity and aggressive language when addressing Club Members.  The Club has grown from one hundred Members to over 800 Members, which can be a strain, especially on meeting night.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.
