Call to Order and Approval of the Minutes
The meeting was called to order at 7:25 pm by R. Sebesta.
The April 7, 2010, Meeting Minutes were read by C. Piette. D. Irvine moved that
the minutes be approved with the following corrections: 1. The Minutes were for
the March meeting, not April; 2. The firing line was at 1,000 yds, not 100 yds.
D. Thomas seconded this motion. The corrected minutes were approved by a voice
vote.

5.
It should be noted that copies of the financial and
membership spreadsheets have been transferred to the LVSA laptop in the CPiette
folder (no password protection) for review by club officers and Board members.
It should be noted that the Club’s liability insurance is
now by Arch Insurance through Lander’s Tegeler and Associates. This policy has
the same coverage as the previous one but for a 10% lower premium. Also, the
new policy (as would the old policy had we renewed it) requires that
participants “at all public events” sign a waiver. Piette will work with
Sebesta and Tegeler’s agent to develop a waiver for Board approval.
ACTION: C. Piette
It should also be noted that the Club’s savings account had
two $7.00 “dormant charges” shown on the March 31, 2010 statement. Club members
expressed dissatisfaction with this charge on an account that earns 0.10%
annual interest. Post Meeting Note: Piette met with a bank representative
on May 6th where they agreed to credit back to the account the two
dormant charges.
Shooting Committee
D. Thomas
reported that the Indoor season nearly over with 4-H only organized activity;
outdoor matches are underway with NMC, rifle silhouette, smallbore prone and
other events taking place most every weekend.
All welcome to join in.
Range Committee
B Campbell sent word that he didn’t see any large building
projects this summer. The weed spraying and cutting will be needed. The members came up with items that need
attention:
1. Paint the
storage van at the indoor range [D Thomas said he’d handle the job].
2. Remove remaining support posts from old van
location.
3. Repair the 50-yard target holders.
4. Remove/repair the moving target material.
5. Clean up or cover remaining graffiti on the
indoor building.
Old Business
1.
Oakley land: no report from Spriggs or Campbell. The “For Sale” signs are no longer
displayed.
2 C Piette
handed out a form for match reporting for comment. The mailing address will be
added. Sebesta will add a cover letter and mail forms to the match directors.
2.
A date will not be established for the bench rest 22
trial until the 50-yard target holders are repaired (see item 3. in Range
Committee report above).
3.
Safety Day has not called for Club help.
New Business
1.
C Piette found that Western Printing would print, fold
and mail our newsletters with a $15 savings over our working and stamping.
Consequently this activity was not necessary at this meeting. The Club wishes
to thank those who showed up to help with this task.
2.
The deadline for items in the Fall newsletter is August
20th. Items should be submitted to R. Sebesta rjsebesta@yahoo.com or C. Piette chaspiette@jabon.com.
3.
R. Sebesta asked permission to use the Crosman range at
the State Fair. Motion by Piette, 2nd Irvine to grant request. Passed by a
voice vote.
4.
Work nights will be listed on web and by posting at the
range. Members are encouraged to come out and help. This helps keep our dues
low.
5.
Friends of the NRA committee Matt Lemm and Bruce
Gallinger displayed the sponsor package information. Discussion held. Motion by
Piette, 2nd Irvine to underwrite $600 worth of merchandise with VP Cain to pick
out items. Passed by a voice vote. MS
Cain selected the items before the meeting adjourned. Piette delivered the
check to FNRA on May 6th.
6.
[added after initial distribution to the Board for
comment] Giving credit where it is due: R. Sebesta repaired the damaged sewer
clean-out on the north side of the Indoor Range building.
7.
[added after initial distribution to the Board for
comment] D. Irvine requested posters from D. Thomas on smallbore shooting
events to post at the Junior events.
8.
[added after initial distribution to the Board for
comment] D. Thomas discussed the need to post a LVSA contact name at the out

implementation plan.
