SPECIAL THANKS Thanks to Neil Harmon for painting the 50-foot line yellow stripes. Thanks to Louie for putting new filters in the heaters. Thanks to Mike for cutting cardboard for the portable targets. Thanks to Steve for the new gutters. PROTECTING OUR RANGE Bay 9, 10, & 12 have been damaged, fresh wood chips were found on the floor and the beams have been damaged. Research has indicated that this happened after May 30^th and before 7:00 pm on June 2^nd. The door codes will be checked to see who was in the range during that period of time. If you see someone with the wrong weapons, (weapons not allowed on our range) or causing damage, note the time, report it to a board member, get their license plate number if possible, call the police if necessary. Mike reported that there are holes or dents in the South wall. Someone has been shooting closer to the targets than the 50 foot line. A letter will be drafted to anyone whose name comes up during the time frame to see if anyone saw anything during that time. SIDING and ROOF The tinning bid was awarded to Kalich Construction. A new west side of building door was added to the job, the door will be replaced with a door that locks anytime it shuts, with no handle on the outside. Also a door will be framed in on the end in order to be able to put in a door if needed in the future. LIGHTS Bob reported that First Alliance, will upgrade the lights for the cost of the material, labor will be free. Louie will help Brad come up with costs for new lighting.
