We will also be raffling off the Henry Golden boy from this years raffle.  The winner of the raffle elected to take the $300 cash. As a result we will raffle the rifle off at the Christmas party.

• Bills and Communications
  • We received a nice letter from RIchard Joiner in Florida - it was read to the membership. Richard had some medical issues but he is doing well.
  • Moulton lumber bill (from the new overhang) 
• Old Business
  • Heater installation complete. Heater that was upstairs has been moved downstairs and Bob McHugh installed a heater upstairs. Club owes Bob $250. Downstairs heater needs some additional work to be fully operational.
  • Generator had some issues but it is working again. Any club member using the generator should make sure to not run it out of gas - and do not turn the shut off value off when done with the generator - leave the value in the open position.
  • Driveway up to range looks great - thanks to Bob McHugh and Romeo Fortin for making this happen.
  • "Clink Account" - we have a clink account at Hannaford for our bottles and cans. There is a seperate barrel up stairs in the club house for all returnable bottles and cans. Thanks to the Dudley's for setting this up.
