Dues.  There was a suggestion the club consider raising the membership dues either $1 or $2 a month to increase revenues for capitol improvements.  The president asked this be to passed to the Long Range Capitol Improvements Committee for consideration.  There was a question regarding range improvements and the membership was reminded that the LRCIC has a list of potential improvements for future consideration.  This was followed by a discussion on the possibility of installing a retrievable target system and the past experiences in this area.  The point was made that this type of improvement could impact the grandfathered exceptions the club has with regards to range design and safety considerations.
