For the Good of the Club – From Trustee Phil Dyche. Beginning with the November meeting, processing new members makes General Membership meetings excessively long…causing some members not to attend some meetings. Additionally, Club member NRA instructors who in-process new members are sometimes on the range when Club business and votes are part of Club business. Discussion included considering limiting the number of new members voted on during a single meeting, conducting new member orientation and safety checks some other time during the week/month, how to activate/log/distribute key fobs, how to collect Club dues, etc. The decision was made to convene CGC Range Management to consider options.

From the Officers: In Compliance with CGC By-Lars, members are reminded that nominations for Club leader positions are due at the August General Membership meeting and voting occurs during the September meeting. Installations of newly-elected leaders is effective 1 October.
