LLHSA Monthly Meeting June 24, 2021
Twenty members were present at this meeting, including new member Charles Peyser.
The meeting was preceded by a "bring your own meat" meal, with the Club & Michelle Saxton supplying salad, bread and desserts. Paul Bylkas and Brian Codere were the only officers not present.
Secretary and Treasurer's reports were read & approved. The Fishing Derby (fishing portion and silent auction) made a profit of $250.85 after all of the expenses of the fishing prizes were factored in. The cash raffle made a profit of $2,038. Suggestions for next year are to send $20 in tickets to each member instead of $15, and to ask that people return the tickets if they aren't going to sell them. We had 504 not returned, many of which we could have sold on the day of the Derby to fishing entrants.
We had 252 paid members as of today. $4,310 has been donated to the new pistol range, with their goal being $5,000 for the year for the Club to match funds.
Michelle Saxton reported that she had inventoried our safety deposit box, which was last opened in 2009. -While there were many interesting ledgers and papers, there was nothing of high value.
House Report: Jim Hamlett repaired the Clubhouse gutter and the roof of the trap range outhouse. He is mowing and weed eating as needed. He will make new orange logo signs for the ranges, as the logos didn't fare well in the winter weather. He is filling the trap ranges for Vern & Bobby each week.
Trap Report: Vern Heusinveld reported that there are quite a few shooters weekly.
Rifle Range: Doug McIntosh was unable to attend the meeting.
New Pistol Range: Bob Anderson was not in attendance, but John Richards reported that Bob had submitted the DNR grant proposal and contacted Dukart Construction to start moving the sand so Pat Ziemnick can then build up the berms. Darrell Seiver noted that Dukart should be moving the sand this week.
Hunter Ed: Keith Machiela said that there would be a 4 hour field day July 17 for online students to complete their in person training & test. Online students have the option to opt out of the field day if they have previously completed the online course, so Keith is unsure how many will enroll. Our traditional in person courses will be held Wednesdays July 21, 28 & Aug 4th with the field day & test Sat August 7. Volunteers are needed to help, especially to prepare the hot dog lunch Saturday August 7th. New instructors are always welcome to apply.
Our trap, rifle, pistol & archery ranges are open to the public THURSDAYS 6-9pm. Vern & Bobby are the ambassadors at the trap range. We need "Club Ambassadors" to volunteer to be at the rifle/pistol/archery ranges. Please call Laura Hamlett to volunteer. 806-790-7798.
This program is very important to us receiving grants to improve the grounds & it is very easy to do. Please help encourage growth to our Club & shooting!
This is our 100th year, as well as the 100th year for the DNR. We decided to do a 4th of July Float for the Lake Linden Hubbell and Tamarack parades with a 100 year and "deer camp" theme. We would also like to do a big dinner in October with as many members present as possible to take a group photo.
Our next meeting is July 29th at 8pm. The grill will be hot by 5:30pm for you to grill your own meat, and the Club will provide the rest of the meal (salads, bread, desserts, etc.} Please bring your family or a friend and join us, before or after shooting!
The 50/50 of $22 for him, $22 for the Club, was won by Darrell Seiver.
Meeting adjourned at 8:42pm
