General Membership Meeting

 

September 8, 2007

 

Secretarial Report – The reading of the minutes was suspended due to the fact that the previous minutes had been printed and reviewed.

 

Treasury Report – We have approximately $5,500 in our checking account and $4,200 in our 18-month CD which is drawing 5.25%.

 

Territorial Governor – (Rattlesnake was not present.)

 

General Business

 

           The election of officers will take place at the January Annual Membership Meeting.  Anyone interested in serving in the capacity of one of the nine board positions needs to follow the nomination procedure outlined in Aug. /Sept. newsletter.

 

           The early posse will continue to operate for the following months – Sept. through Oct.  A discussion concerning the specifics of the early posse followed.  Overall, the club is in agreement to offer the early posse for the months mentioned above.

 

           The continuation of the Shootist category resulted in the vote to limit the Shootist category exclusively to the top eight shooters.  Should persons designated in this Shootist category from the previous month’s match not be present the following month, the category will then contain only those present.  (In other words, shooters will not be moved up to make a group of eight.)

 

           Parking – It has been requested that automobiles not be driven on the cart way as this will break down the sides of the constructed area.  Also, please leave a gap in front of the cart way so that shooters can maneuver their guns carts and other acceptable forms of transportation to the shooting area.

 

           Hangin’ at Coyote Creek:

 There is a need for helpers for the side matches on Friday.  Please contact Cameo Rose if you are willing to help out with the side matches. 

 Stage drivers are also needed to run the posses.  Stage drivers will shoot with that posse and are responsible for seeing that all of the stages are shot accordingly.  They may or may not be selected as the posse leaders.  This is up to the individual posses.

 We are collecting gifts to be presented to the registered shooters when they register.  Please bring your contribution by the October match, as we need to organize these for distribution.

 If you are interested in going to Trey Yuen in Hammond on Friday night, there will be a sign-up sheet during registration on that day.  We need to give Joe an idea of the number of people who are coming.

 Workday for Hangin’ will be the fourth Sat. of September and October.  A building is going up at Stage #1.  Kentucky Tom and Chipola Kid are coming out as much as they can to work on this construction.  They are usually there on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Kentucky will notify me with an email to let others know when they need help.

                      

                                                    Meeting adjourned.
