Once you receive the "matching funds" don't they require you to become open to the public?

The DNR will happily give you money if you host Firearms Safety classes.

Makes sense. Rainbow I remember there being discussion of taking DNR money because it would force them to become a "public" range.

Board reports occurring. I asked the treasurer about the overall cost of the construction project ($450-500k) - and the cancellation fees ($30k)

Member question about acquiring real estate next to the club that is for sale... Board agrees we should look at this but the cost sounds substantial

Can construction plans be modified to something we DO NEED in order to save "Cancellation Fees"?

They are going to let the 2013 board decide how to proceed with the membership on the project - there's the 7 person committee that will be named to assist with the project...
