BLACK HILLS SHOOTING ASSOCIATION
MINUTES FOR OCTOBER 19, 2008

We had a beautiful fall day for our shoot with a nice turn out of shooters. The meeting was called to order by President Hawkbill Smith.

NEW BUSINESS:
We are in the process of getting a tax ID number. This came about because the 1880 train was audited so now we need to pay taxes on new memberships, money received from the 1880 train, the Sturgis Calvary Days etc. Hawkbill suggested raising the membership fees by $2.00 to include the tax increase. A motion was made, 2nd and passed by the club to have the membership fees read as $25.00 plus $2.00 tax for single and $35.00 plus $2.00 tax for family.

Our Spring Social will be March 7th at the Piedmont American Legion Club. We will have a silent auction and possible a live auction. The theme will be gangsters. We need donations for the auction so start now gathering items.

It's time for election of officers. Our annual meeting will be at the American Legion Club in Piedmont on November 8th. It is their regular steak night so you can go early and have a great dinner. The meeting will start at 6 pm. Nominations are open for all positions until November 1st. I will send out ballots so anyone that cannot attend the meeting can vote by returning the ballot to me before the meeting.

We currently have a nomination for secretary —Prairie Bird - Terri Engle
and we need to choose 2 regulators and we have 4 nominations so far:
Blind Pete - Mark Engle
Diego Kid - Mark Latza
Badlands Dave - Dave Fletcher
Weedman - Steve Smith

Send me your nominations as soon as possible so I can get the ballots ready.

OLD BUSINESS:
Treasure's Report: Diane gave us a financial report from our September shoot. We still have some funds available for picnic tables, so keep watching for a sale or bargains.
