• Joe announced that we were awarded the NAFAC Shoot for 2018.

• We are continuing to work on the Bear Valley Cook Shack.

• Joe has requested one more speed bump to complete our traffic control project.

• Our 100 Gallon Sprayer is ready for use.

• We have finished supplying the First Aid Kits. We just need a few labels for them.

• Todd Dancer is going to grind some more stakes for us. Thank you, Todd!

• Chriss mentioned there have been some Mountain Target Assignment changes.

• He also said that the Raahauge's Youth Safari Day went very well. He wanted to thank all of the other Clubs that chipped in to help out with the event.

• Chriss has some upcoming Hunter Safety Courses coming up.

• A reminder was put out that you must Pre-Register for the upcoming State 900 in September. There is limited space available. As of the Club Meeting, he already had 28 shooters signed up for Saturday and 24 shooters signed up for Sunday. The maximum number of shooters per day is 48 shooters.

• Membership Chair stated we were at 356 Members as of the Club Meeting.

• Memberships have all been completed.

• Jason is still waiting for pricing on the Water Jug Holders.

• David has completed the transfer of our website to the new carrier within the last couple of months.

• The discussion was brought up again in regards to a mobile hotspot for the Membership Chair position. AT & T and Verizon both require a 2 year contract. However, you must have a phone plan as well. A Member brought up a service called Freedom Pop. The first 200 MB are free, then $20 + a month for a Hot Spot depending on data usage. David is going to do some research on this program and report his finding to the Board.

• Joe is planning on tearing down the Refreshment Stand.

• We received a Recall Notice on the Kubota Tractor.

• 2018 Shoot Calendars have been completed.

• David suggested that we pay for the Shoot Flyers upfront for the entire year so that we can post them all on our website rather than one by one. He is unable to post them until the Club pays for them.

• A motion was submitted to create a shade structure at the Practice Butts. Motion was voted on and approved.

• The Mailed version of the Newsletter will discontinue effective 10/1/2017. Members can either sign up for the Club Newsletter via email or can access the Club Newsletter on the Club's Website. With the abundance in technology we are currently being afforded there has been a steep decline in the demand for mailed Newsletters. As of the last couple of months, we are down to only 10 Members requesting paper copies. This does not make sense due to the time and effort that is required to reformat the Newsletter from a digital format to a paper format. Members who would still like a paper copy of the Newsletter can log onto our website at Oranco Bowmen and can click on the "About" tab and then click on the "News" tab. From there you should be able to print out a paper copy for your viewing pleasure. Those of you who have not been receiving the digital copy have been missing a lot of interactive content that I am unable to fit into the paper version of the Newsletter due to space restrictions. We apologize for any inconvenience.

• We received a request last month from one of the Pro Shops requesting that we post via email blasts or via the Newsletters some openings that were trying to fill in their shops. The Board has discussed the matter and will take each future request into consideration on a case by case basis.

• A Member made a motion in regards to placing some signage up around the range promoting future shoots that would be coming at Oranco and at several other participating Clubs. This would benefit Oranco as there is no out of pocket cost to Oranco Bowmen, plus it would help us to promote our shoots with identical signage being posted at other participating Clubs. The motion passed.

• There was a discussion regarding some recent changes to the NFAA Shooting Styles.

• Terry Lopez has requested another date for his Cub Scouts' shoot as the original date went to the Scalps and Skins Night Shoot on November 11th.

• Moving forward, cook shack volunteers are to contact Terry Lopez instead of Tony Tobin. Terry Lopez's contact number is (562) 900- 4487.

• There was a discussion in regards to speeding up the Shoot Scores cut off time. It seems it only takes a couple of minutes for the final scoring to be completed once we have all of the scorecards in. The delay lies in getting ALL of the scorecards in from the shooters on the course. It was mentioned that a large part of the delay comes from shooting groups who shoot one person at a time rather that having multiple people shoot at the same time.
