L LHSA Meeting Minutes 7-25-2019
A dinner of Texas sausage & dry rubbed ribs, cole slaws & rolls preceded the meeting. Since Laura has spent so much time in Texas lately, the food naturally appeared, Special thanks to Norm Brehm who brought a blueberry crumble made by his wife Terri.
Meeting was called to order by President Grimm at 8pm.
Following the Pledge of Allegiance, John Richards did a presentation on other gun ranges and made his suggestions on safety and efficiency improvements that could be made. It was suggested that we form a committee to look into these improvements.
Officers absent were: Vice President Mick Jarve and Director Paul Bylkas
Secretary and Treasurer's reports were read & approved.
President Grimm went over the communications: Our copy of lvfl Outdoor News is at the Clubhouse for everyone to read, we ARE wheelchair accessible (which was asked in a notification he received), and Doug "aka Webmaster" has put the LLHSA membership application on the website for members to print and send in with payment to the Saxtons.
Committees:
House: Jim, Trap: Vern. Both had very little to say, but what they did say was positive.
Rifle: Bill Hodges is taking over as Rifle range chairperson. Darrell has already properly versed him in his position. Bill is happy to work with the aforementioned improvement committee
Hunter Ed: Keith reported that the instructor workshop he held the past Saturday went well and that 15 students are signed up for the summer classes and all was going as planned. August 3rd is the field day from 9am-3pm.
Additional volunteers are always welcome. Jill Hodges volunteered to make lunch for everyone. CMP: Rick said that 4H is very motivated, so we hope Zach gets his group formed soon.
Old Business:
--Tom & Dave were the only ones able to build the 4th of July float, so they decided to cancel it and go to the bar. (Secretary's note: this is a suitable sarcastic comment because I have never personally seen EITHER of them in a bar.)
--1t was reported that "Bulls eye Shooting" of .22 semi-automatics is being done at the Calumet indoor shooting range Wednesday mornings if anyone would like to attend.
--The matter of us making donations to other charitable groups was brought up, based on the fact that a check was returned to us undeliverable from a donation we voted upon at the May meeting. After an incredibly confusing round of motions, discussions, motion withdrawals and comments, I THBJI< the motion was made that for any donations anyone asks us for, EXCEPT the current donations we make to the local fire departments for July 4th activities, a representative from the group making the request for a donation needs to attend a meeting to explain their request. This matter will be voted upon at the August meeting and potentially added to the bylaws.
After discussion about the dilapidated situation of our charcoal grill, Darrell offered to donate a used propane grill. President Grimm will deliver said grill to the Clubhouse. Jim Hamlett will find a propane tank and get it filled. Laura & Jill will breathe a sigh of relief that they needn't worry about starting a fire with charcoal & lighter fluid in the future.
Vern won the 50/50 for the second month in a row. $25 for h1m/$25 for the club. Kris Southerland, a club member who owns Copper Island Forging, donated several other raffle items to thank the club for allowing him to do blacksmithing demos at the Fishing Derby.
Our next meeting will be August 29th an email about diner plans Meeting was adjourned at 8:55pm.
