College students don’t qualify, they must be taught by a police officer or a lawyer and they must also be a RSO. We will rent the range to them if the conditions are met. NEW BUSINESS A member chewed out the Centralia City Manager for too many vehicles in our parking lot. The lot belongs to the city. Do not do it again. Any problems should be brought to the board for resolution. HELP NEEDED Two men are needed to put up the tar roof that came down on the floor. It needs to be put back up. Lee Rossen and Jeff Gillespie volunteered to fix it by October 1. All participated is putting the tables and benches back after use for the Hunters Safety Course. When benches are moved for training they need to be put back when the course is completed. BOWLING PIN SHOOT The plan is to start another bowling pin shoot sometime this month. Steve Burress has agreed to take the lead on the bowling pin shoots. BOARD POSITION OPEN Jack Thompson has relinquished his position on the board. He will be very busy and not able to fulfill his duties. Neil Harris volunteered to take over the phone duties.
