Mr. Wyrick asked had the club considered using Facebook as one of the means to communicate with it's members, and the community.  It was discussed but no decision was made.  Mr. Wyrick also discussed the appointment of one Range officer, and up to three additional helpers as assistant's.  This was agreed upon with the understanding that the range officer was responsible for all range safety and target placements.  Mr. Wyrick made another recommendation that was greeted with approval, and that was the appointment of a Liaison Officer for the club.  This position will be a officer and will have the responsibility for the following.

a. Notifying all members and community of club events
b. assembling persons for work parties
c. keeping news medias aware of club events 

It was agreed by all members that Mr. Wyrick was the right man for the position, and should start right away in a temporary capacity.  This will be brought up for a vote during the Feb. 2012 formal club meeting.

Further discussion by the club members focused on gifts for shooters at the end of the last shoot.  It was discussed that major manufactures be contacted to see what the cost would be for our club to purchase a new Bow.  Mr. Nelson will contact Mathews, Mr. Laudermilk will check others.

Purchase of ASA targets was discussed.  Mr.  Nelson informed the members that ASA has increased their price for a range from 3000 dollars to thirty five hundred, and centers for a full range with targets is 5200 dollars.  It was discussed of purchasing the ASA targets that Green Acre's has on hand from the last buy. Mr. Nelson thinks he can get a better deal from them than buying from ASA.  Mr. Nelson will report back on his findings.
