DRY FIRE SYSTEM: Scott Skattebo got a grant request sent in to the NRA to see if they will fund the purchase of the dry fire system for the Gun Club. WOODS:  Dan Cichantek spoke about the status of the woods.  The new growth did not take off as much this year as expected.  Dan feels it should sit for another year to let the new growth get bigger prior to planting the oak trees.  These trees are set aside for us, and will be held another year. -Jim Schleis went through the ditches and cut down the brush and long grass, and burned them.  Thank you Jim, they look great! -Ron Weisner won a flat of shells the night of the meeting, and donated them back to the club for the banquet.  Thank you Ron! Remember you can rent the clubhouse for private parties.  The cost is $100, but if you clean up the clubhouse afterwards, then $50 will be refunded.  See the bar director Wally Norkosky to make reservations. The next meeting will be on Tuesday, November 7th, at the clubhouse. Nick Sieracki Club Vice President
