  • Scotty – The Polaris UTV and Kubota needs maintenance – we will be looking at how long the maintenance will take for each one of them and see if we are able to get them in together with a quick turnaround or if we will have to schedule each at different times to make sure one is always at the range. We will also make sure that they look at the gear that sticks to see about a fix.

New Business 

  • MOA Group Range Usage: There has been some increased interest from non-members about using the range. The Board would like to make sure all our members are first and foremost taken care of, but with that being said one of the groups that is interested is a D20 school group and it is also very important to give our youth an opportunity to be educated about archery. So as a board we are going to be having a meeting to decide what this will all look like and how to also take care of our members. We have agreed as a board to let CYO and D20 to use the range, dates to come. 
    • Groups: NON-Profit vs Profit Organizations such as CYO, Church, Scouts, JOAD, Schools, Organizations

 

  • Membership meeting: Apr 15 Saturday- This is our yearly Membership meeting that hopefully a lot of members will be able to attend, we will provide food and talk about the range. 
  • Volunteers- As the weather get warmer, we will be looking at getting some work parties together to complete work that is needed around the range. 

 

Secretary: 

  • Board Meetings vs Newsletter- Each month after the Board Meeting the meeting minutes will be sent out to all members within a week of the meeting. The meeting minutes will contain all the information talked about during the meeting. Then starting in March at the beginning of each month a newsletter will also go out to all members as well as being posted on the website. The newsletter will be more of just the highlights from the meeting as well as important information and upcoming events.  

 

Additional Comments:

  • As we continue to grow and see new people on the range we will be doing more random checks for membership cards as well as day passes. Please make sure to always have your membership card or your day pass available and ready to be shown if asked.
