Meeting was called to order at 7 pm by President Rich Sieveke. As a year in review, Rich stated that the 1880 train robberies and bank robbery all went very well. Our September Invitational did not go as well as hoped. We did not get any out of state applications for the 2nd year and a small showing from our members. Then, we had the rain and fog which caused the cancellation of Day 2 so only the first 5 stages were shot.
NEW BUSINESS
Due to the resignation of Brent White as Territorial Governor which he sent last week, we do not have any position that needs to be voted on. A motion was made by Dave Fletcher, 2nd by Greg Iverson and motion passed by majority vote, to accept the ballot for election of officers.
INVITATIONAL
A discussion was held whether to continue the September Invitational. Rich made a suggestion, that until the economy changes and shootist are more able to travel to our shoot, that we change the Invitational to a 2 day fun shoot for our members. A discussion was held as to what we could have for shooting stages and Rich stated we can set it up however we wanted. It can include short and long range stages. A discussion was held as to the fees for this weekend. It was decided that a $5.00 lunch fee each day would be included with the entry fee. The evening dinner would be paid by each member. That way you can order whatever you wanted. If you want Prime Rib or a hamburger, order what you want and not be locked into a specific meal. It was decided that $40.00 for the 2 day fun shoot including lunches both days was reasonable.
LUNCHES
A discussion was held in regards to the donation for lunches at the shoot. There has been very little money donated for the lunches. Most of the time less than $10.00 for all the people that eat and the amount of food available. The discussion was held to not have any lunch vs. raising the shooting fees to help defer the cost of lunch. It was decided not to raise shooting fees but that the cost of lunch would be $5.00 not donation. It will be in the newsletter so everyone will know what will be served.
MARCH SOCIAL
Our Social will be held March 6th at the American Legion Hall in Piedmont. A discussion was held regarding dinner for that night and beef and turkey with all the trimmings was decided on.
SERVING BREAKFAST AT AMERICAN LEGION ON NOVEMBER 22ND.
