NOTICES
Everyone is going to sorely miss our deceased Club
President & Trap Director, DALE SCHROEDER, who died of a heart attack on
June 19, 2007.
Chuck Varnold, Vice-President, has stepped up and will fill
out Dale’s term.
A committee of Trap Shooters has taken over the Trap responsibilities and everything is continuing on schedule.
The Annual Nominating Committee will be formed at the August or September Board Meeting. Let any of the current Officers or Board of Director members know if you are interested in one of the positions. All Officer positions and 4 Director’s positions are due to be elected at the November Annual Meeting.
ANNUAL MEMBERS DUES TO INCREASE IN 2008: CSC has not raised its annual dues since the 1980’s. Work Hours assessments were last raised in the late 1990’s.
ANNUAL CLUB INCOME has remained fairly constant over the years while ANNUAL CLUB EXPENSES have steadily increased and are expected to continue increasing each year.
Therefore, the CSC Board of Directors, at the May 8, 2007,
Board Meeting, after substantial discussion, voted to raise the Annual Member’s
dues to $75.00 per year beginning with the 2008 calendar year dues. Work Hours assessments will not change. They will remain at $10.00 per hour for
non-worked hours. The Land Fund fee
will also remain at $10.00 for everyone.
ASSOCIATE LIFE MEMBERSHIPS are available for those who might be interested. They are still $500. Work Hour and Annual Land Fund requirements will still apply to everyone. See any Club Officer or Director for the details.
HUNTER EDUCATION REMINDER: If you are planning on hunting out-of-state make sure you check out the Hunter Education Requirements for that state before you go there to hunt. Colorado, a popular hunting location, requires everyone born since January 1, 1949, to have successfully completed a Hunter Ed Class in their home state to legally purchase a Colorado hunting license.

TEMPORARILY AWAY FROM HOME/NEW ADDRESS
Are you going to be “TEMPORARILY AWAY” (maybe for the winter, an extended vacation or job demands)? More and more monthly newsletters are being returned to the Club marked as “TEMPORARILY AWAY”! When you notify the Post Office that you are going to be “TEMPORARILY AWAY” they will ONLY HOLD or FORWARD 1ST CLASS MAIL. All other mail is returned to the sender. Your monthly newsletter is mailed to you using Bulk Rate Postage. Consequently, your newsletter is returned to the Club marked POSTAGE DUE @ $ .39 which the Club has to pay to retrieve it. These newsletters cannot be forwarded, as we do not know where to send them.
If you notify the Club Secretary of any planned extended stay away from your residence before you leave, your mailing address can be updated so that you can still receive your monthly newsletter, as some members have, while on that extended stay away from your home.
THEREFORE, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, ALL RETURNED “TEMPORARILY AWAY” NEWSLETTERS WILL BE PLACED ON THE NO NEWSLETTER LIST (NNL) UNTIL YOU NOTIFY THE CLUB SECRETARY THAT YOU HAVE RETURNED. ANY “TEMPORARILY AWAY” HELD / RETURNED NEWSLETTERS WOULD THEN BE FORWARDED TO YOU!!
Members that have “MOVED TO A NEW ADDRESS” and have
not notified the Club of their NEW ADDRESS also have their newsletters
returned marked POSTAGE DUE @ $ .39. The Post Office will not forward these newsletters. The Club then pays another $ .39 postage to
forward it to you and updates your file to reflect your new address. Please notify the Club when you move!
