1 Volume 41 May 2011 Issue 1 President s Corner I would like to thank the entire membership for placing your trust in me and re-electing me as your President for another term. Either I m fairly good at it or you just wanted to beat on me longer! Anyway, Thank-you. I will do my best to keep things moving in a positive direction for all. I want to thank the members of last year s Board of Directors. They provided excellent support to me through out the entire year. A Thank-You, also to the Board members that were elected to continue in office for this coming year. And I can t forget to thank the two new Board members Ed Winters and Russ Levin. We have a hard road ahead with the process of building a new range but, WITH THE HELP OF OUR MEMBERS, we can overcome the obstacles and get on with our plan. Look for a few changes on committees, some new faces stepping forth, and some new energy coming from our membership. I m asking all of you to consider acting as a committee chair or co-chair. We have a lot of work to do to get our range going and I want each and every related committee involved from the start! Your inputs are needed! PLEASE contact me or ANY Board member to be considered for a committee position will be the year of our new range! Let s do it! Sincerely, Frank Fruh, President Points of Interest to Members NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS President... Frank Fruh Huntsmaster... Jim Pollock First Vice President... Marlene Smith Ways & Means... Russ Levin Second Vice President... Jose Torres Directors at Large Secretary... Elaine Costello Conservation Director... Phil Lang Treasurer... Tony Barnett Property Director... Dave George Publicity... Paul Goodwin Wildlife Director... Ed Winters PROPOSED BY-LAW CHANGE It is moved that the current bylaw rule requiring a 90-day expiration of approved funds be waived when the membership approves use of Land and Building funds for range or building construction projects. Explanation: Currently, the bylaws limit approved motions for funds to 90 days, at which point the approval expires. While this is a reasonable restriction for funds approved from the general fund for routine club operating expenses, it is impractical when funds are being used for lengthy or complex projects such as construction of our new range or for building construction projects. This motion is made to allow greater flexibility in expending approved land and building funds over a period greater than 90 days. This flexibility is needed to give the board greater latitude in negotiating the best pricing for materials, supplies, and labor in major projects, and to reduce delays that may be caused by waiting for membership meetings to renew previously approved funds. Actual bylaws Change: Current Bylaw: Article 12 - Operation and Safety Rules; Section I - General Operating Rule 1: All proposed new projects or activities shall be submitted to the Board of Directors in writing, describing the project or activity in detail, and to include a complete cost projection or estimate. The Board of Directors shall evaluate the proposed project or activity, and recommend that it be approved or disapproved at the next General Membership Meeting. The proposed project or activity shall be approved by a two-thirds vote of those present at that regular membership meeting. After approval, approved funds shall expire after 90 days if not expended, and any unused funds shall be returned to the general fund. Proposed Change to Article 1, Section 1 - General Operating Rule 1; (See bold face change) All proposed new projects or activities shall be submitted to the Board of Directors in writing, describing the project or activity in detail, and to include a complete cost projection or estimate. The Board of Directors shall evaluate the proposed project or activity, and recommend that it be approved or disapproved at the next General Membership Meeting. The proposed project or activity shall be approved by a two-thirds vote of those present at that regular membership meeting. With the exception of Land and Building Fund approvals for range or building construction projects, approved funds shall expire after 90 days if not expended, and any unused funds shall be returned to the general fund. 1
