Old Business:
The President reported that the Board was recommending the expenditure of $14,215 to have LED Solutions, LLC install lighting on the skeet and trap range. Approval of the expenditure was unanimously approved by the membership. The Secretary will inform LED Solutions LLC to proceed with scheduling the installation.
New Business:
It was noted that members are starting to use the area at the back of the Clubhouse as a pistol pit. Since this area is intended for Club event use only, Sean Zanella will get a sign made to post there stating that the area is off limits except during club-scheduled events.
Jim Cunningham recommended we put two posts and a chain across the pathway between the back of the clubhouse and the rifle range with a sign indicating no passage through there. Jim will work with the grounds committee to make this happen.

The President thanked Clif Orzolek for the great job of lawn mowing that he is doing. The lawn has never looked so consistently good.
JoJo volunteered to do the September meeting dinner.
