General Membership Meeting
The Directors meeting for July has been moved to July 15th at 7:00 PM (1/2 hour before the Membership meeting). Directors, please make a note of the meetings new date and time.
There were 38 people present at the June Membership meeting. Come out to support YOUR club!
Please pick up your trash when you are down on the rifle or pistol range. Don’t leave a mess for the next person that uses the range. Also, please remove your targets and staples when you are done shooting.
People are signing the range book before they go down to the range but then they don’t pay when they are done. We thought our members were smarter then that!
We need to recertify our bartenders. Fred Kominek is going to contact Eric Zokowski to find out what we have to do to get this done.
There are receipt books located at the bar and in the kitchen. If you take money out of the cash register for gas for the mower or money from the kitchen to cover your food supplies for an event, please fill out and sign a receipt for the money you took. Write on the receipt what the money was taken for. Then place your cash register receipt from your purchase in the receipt book.
If you purchase items at Banas Lumber to be used on a project at the club, write on the receipt what project you bought the supplies for.
This is a reminder to all members. The bar is closed on meeting night from 7:30 PM until the completion of the membership meeting. If you can’t get to the meeting on time then you will have to wait until the meeting is over to get a refreshment.

MUCC Membership
Erin McDonough from the MUCC made a presentation to the club on February 18, 2010 about the benefits of belonging to the MUCC. The club needs to be a 100% member participant to belong to the MUCC. The cost is $5.00 per member and this entitles the members to an electronic copy of the MUCC magazine. A hard copy of the magazine would be an additional $20.00 to each member that wanted it (members must pay this fee to the membership chairman). There are 10 digital editions of the MUCC magazine each year and only 6 hard copies printed per year. After Erin left, a motion was made and seconded to rejoin the MUCC. The motion passed. The club membership chairman will need the E-Mail address of each member that has E-Mail so that they may receive the Digital edition of the MUCC magazine. Please E-Mail your address to the membership chairman Matthew Goodman at trainman169@yahoo.com or the secretary Dennis Goodman at rrcastingman@yahoo.com.
