The Club Meeting was called to order by Club President, Mike Chesser. The Pledge of Allegiance was completed and a Moment of Silence was observed for the Men and Women serving our country at home and abroad.

The Club Treasurer provided a summary of Club Activity.

  • Checking and Savings balances are sound: usual and customary expenses related to club operations.

Extra expenses are on hold for now due to loss of Monthly Shoot revenue due to shutdown caused by Covid-19.

  • When released by City of Jacksonville to resume standard activities, we will resume:
    • Tuesday Working Man Shoots

Hopefully by July due to FL HEAT!
