GUN SHOW: So far, only 12 of the envelopes that were mailed out last month, have been returned due to bad addresses. There was a discussion regarding advertising. This was not just for the show, but for the purpose of recruiting new members

There was a discussion regarding a disgruntled customer, at our last show. It was reported that a vendor failed to ship merchandise, when it was paid for in full on a special order, at the show. Bud will look into this and report back.

We are already receiving vendor registrations for the March show.

OLD BUSINESS

Steve explained the status of the missing gift package that was mailed to Raiel Wilson, last December. She never received it. A check with the postal service revealed that it was indeed lost.

Andy reported that he has sent an authorization to our attorney, to make contact with the IRS on our behalf. We now have a tax identification number.

NEW BUSINESS

Jerry reported that a grant writing class was available. Cost is $450.00. Membership chose not to send anyone at this time, but asked to be kept on the mailing list for possible future class announcements.

Discussed recent requests for "mountain man" appearances, that we have received lately. Whereas we may always consider specific requests, it is very important that those requests be received in sufficient time, to adequately consider them during our meetings. Educational events or events with potential of furthering our club goals and improving membership, are always considered. It is also important to have a volunteer network, for those who voice an interest in participating in these activities.

Slate of club officer candidates must be introduced at the November meeting. They are as follows:

President - Vacant however Greg Field indicated that he may be drafted to serve one more term.

Vice President - Jerry Jazbec

Secretary - Steve Baima however a proclamation is being prepared by the trustees, to allow for an extension of his term.

Treasurer - Andy Williamson

Trustees: Lee Johnson, Chuck Lacher, Joe Schroeder, John Abbott, and Margret Evanson. Greg Field would become a trustee by default, if he is not re-elected as club president.

Good of the Order

John initiated a discussion regarding improving our membership

Steve passed around photos of his recent visit to the David Pedersoli factory in Italy.

Laurie is (still) always searching for information for the newsletter for the Issaquah Sportsmen's club. She said that she could use articles related to black powder shooting.

Questions or comments regarding information in this newsletter may be directed to the secretary. Phone or E-mail please (425) 865-8965 or .
