WSMLA Board of Directors Meeting
Minutes from May 29, 1993
President called meeting to order somewhere between supper & sundown.
Roll call: All present with the following exceptions, Dave Wilson, Jeff Walker & Judy Corkill
Treasurer's report: No exact balances available at this time. Complete report
promised for the next meeting. Treasurer reported that researching our financial status indicates that approx. 80% of dues goes to our newsletter. Not counting complimentary memberships & copies. We currently are sending out 8-10 complimentary newsletters & have 20 life members. Obvious that dues cannot support all activities alone. Suggestion made to work on all WSMLA projects to increase their profitability.
Hank reported that he was already working on significant changes for the convention, to include an outside key speaker that will be a "drawing card". Dave will look at shooting program profitability & report at the next board meeting.
Minutes from the Jan. meeting: Roger moved, Reggie second to approve minutes as published in the newsletter. Motion carried.
OLD BUSINESS
Range officer certification: Dave reported that NMLRA had been contacted concerning a representative to instruct a range officer course at our state shoot. NMLRA indicated that no one was available to come instruct. The board recognized that range officer certification may become a much more serious matter in the near future. By general consent: "the board" will hear a report from Dave T. & Mike (if Mike gets out of the jail in Mexico). Their report will reference the establishment of range officer certification per the WSMLA.
Photo contest: Established for the 1993 "shoot" season Requirement-- members only--3 entries / person max. all entries to be 8 x 10 with entrant name & address
on back. --matted- Categories #1 B&W #2 Shooting #3 Wildlife #4 Camps. To be judged by the members at the state convention, more specifics to follow
Window decals: sales are slow, if more are made in future, it is recommended that they glue to inside of window, more subdued background color is also advised.
Savings Acct. -vs- checking: Treasurer advised to leave all funds in checking at this time. "Emergency" funds may be put into savings when balance is increased.

Men's flint & percussion aggregate - 50 yd. single bull target changed from double bull

Big bore-adopt a 2 target aggregate: 1) single bull target at 50 yds. 2) single bull target at 100 yards.
Above changes effective for 1993 & in the future .... motion carried
NEW BUSINESS
Treasurer noted it may be necessary for him to be out of state for a period of time. Hank motioned, Reg seconded; Bryan will take over treasurer duties on temporary basis, if needed.
--- motion carried ---
NRA Charter has expired. John B. took necessary action to get renewal. We are notified that "board" insurance is not renewable. The carrier will not write this type of policy anymore.
Suggestions:
1. 10% on NRA premium will get "board" listed as additional insured for WSMLA sanctioned matches.
2. set up an office for WSMLA to cover the "fixed site" requirement.
3. directors may want umbrella policy through their home owner or vehicle policies
4. possible policies will be researched through NMLRA & others Rick or Doc Bob will report next meeting.
There being no other business, meeting was adjourned just before dark.
Respectfully submitted,
Doc Bob Eveland
