OLD BUSINESS: The issue of the Club buying a used lawn mower for use at the range is still not settled. A member pointed out Sears has a new mower on sale for $229.00. It was moved, seconded and passed to purchase this new mower. Several members stated they had spare gas cans they would be willing to donate to the Club. The Club’s target rifles returned by the Grand Valley Marksmen are now being stored in Chuck Lopas’s gun room. We have received the money from the purchase of one of these rifles by the Grand Valley Marksmen. Two members offered to approach the Montrose Rod and Gun Club about purchasing any of our target rifles for their juniors. OMGC members interested in any of these rifles should attend a meeting or e-mail Tom Mathews at
NEW BUSINESS: The approximate cost for processing memberships and renewals with PayPal on our website would be 30 cents. There would need to be changes to the web site in order to have this feature. There was a general discussion about the possibility of the Club acquiring additional land on our south west border to the west of the South Ranges. This property is in foreclosure, and needs considerable cleaning up with a possibility of hazardous waste. If the property is cleaned up the Club might be interested in purchasing it in the future. It was moved, seconded and passed to move the funds in the Junior Club Account to the Capital Acquisition Account, as the Junior Club is not active.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the members it was moved, seconded and passed to adjourn. The Meeting was adjourned at 8:03 PM by the President.
Respectfully submitted,
Jeff Howard Secretary
