The bid is good through the end of the year. The project was tabled until January or February when the club has more money. CENTRALIA HIGH SCHOOL CARPENTRY Skip Blank suggested a carpentry class to do the work; the kids are supervised by licensed contractors. Brad will gain more information on the idea.

A RSO class in planned for October 25, and 26. Two people had signed up so far. GUN SAFETY IN THE HOME Self Defense Course is planned for January EVERGREEN COLLEGE The club was contacted by Evergreen, the college wanted to start teaching Personal Defense in the Home. College students don’t qualify, they must be taught by a police officer or a lawyer and they must also be a RSO. Steve reported a basic pistol course would be $50.00 per person and must have 20 in the class. We will rent the range to them $150.00 for two hours, if the conditions are met. SIGN FOR ROOF We received the sign from Sign Pro, it comes with letters and a pole to mount on eves. The cost was $585.00 and allows standard language and special events. Before we can put it up we must apply for a permit with drawing and materials to attach to the roof. The permit will be $30 - $50. We must box it and frame it. Brad agrees to do the drawing. When ready Steve sill find someone to install it. BOWLING PIN SHOOT The plan is to start another bowling pin shoot. We need someone to organize it. Steve will contact Steve Burruss to see if he is still interested.
