Text Box: KINETIC ENERGY Page 5 Text Box: Behind the Scenes of LRC By Barbara (Edit) Did you know that your Club now has over 850 members? The General Business Meetings are still held on the first Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Pavilion Building across from the Indoor Range. Generally speaking, about 90 persons are in attendance; 15 of those are there for the second time, and 15 are there for the first time. That leaves about 60 members in attendance at the meetings. Most of them are committee members, volunteers working on the current projects, range officers, match directors, executive officers, and the “faithful old’ timers”. Where would we be without them? Our Club has grown rapidly over the past three years. In August of 2003, we had 521 members; in August of 2004, we had 591 members; in August of 2005, we had 682 members; and in August of 2006, we had 871 members!! Do we have any reason to think that membership will slow down in the next year or two? I bring this up because I currently have the pleasure of working with a group of LRC volunteers called the Long Range Planning Committee. Because of the rapid growth of this Club, and the rapid development of the Lincoln Area, this committee organized to contemplate the future of our Dillman Range. They immediately took an in-depth look at the Club’s legal documents to find that our founding documents are outdated and no longer serving our Club well. To bring our Club into compliance with current corporation and tax regulations, the committee has drafted a new set of Club By-laws that will be taken under consideration by the Club Membership at a General Business Meeting in the near future. It is imperative that our Corporate and Tax Documents be current and in compliance with State and Federal regulations. Don’t you agree? The Long Range Planning Committee is looking into our Insurance coverage to be sure that we are providing the best and most economical insurance for our Club operation, equipment, members, and Club leaders. Additionally, the committee is exploring high dollar fund raising activities that may be required to equip our Club with resources necessary to insulate it from City and County development. Work on the Long Range Planning Committee is all “behind the scenes”. This is just one example of Club work that goes on “behind the scenes”! What to get involved? This is a big Club with lots of activities. There is something for everyone. VOLUNTEER! Text Box: Winter League Smallbore Matches Interested in shooting that .22 Rifle in your gun case?
