The club will keep track of all donations and volunteer labor performed during the Club House remodel to quantify the value of this in order to meet our obligation for the DOW grant. A clarification of Club policy defining who will be required to pay the $3.00 fee for matches and defining who a junior shooter is who would be exempt from this fee was presented.
