Message from the President
Hello everyone,
First up I want to remind everyone that the Crab Feed tickets are nearly gone. Those who have not gotten there tickets yet will want to do so as soon as possible while they are still available. Gene Bayer has been working hard on getting donations for the raffle this year and has a lot of nice stuff. There is a list of most donations posted in the clubhouse. If you have time check it out.
U.S.I. is looking into replacing the cash register system with a new and improved version. The last system they had in place never seemed to work quite right. This new system should work very nice for us. Look for this upgrade in the next month or so. Brentwood Rod and Gun is very close to being or next and newest club at U.S.I. They just have to approve the sales agreement and transfer the funds and there in. This will be a nice addition to U.S.I. and we are all looking forward to this taking place. Hope to see you all at the Crab Feed.
Tim Hutchison

New Business
Tim Hutchison is getting the lawyer that worked on updating the U.S.I. by-laws to go over Bay Point’s by-laws for free. If we have to change the by-laws to meet current legal standards then we will incur a fee. This step is being done to ensure our tax exempt status.
Tim asked for and received commitments for volunteers to work this months crab feed. Anyone who still needs tickets, or would like to help work the crab feed should contact any board member.
John Thomas reported that the 2008-2009 audit was finished and in order, also we now have a website from which any member can order club tee-shirts. The club will be getting a discount on the cost of setting up the site for the first year. The discount is related to how many shirts the members buy, so let’s show some pride in our club and wear these new shirts. The web site to order these shirts from is: Baypointrodandgun.imprintsite.com
The membership observed a moment of silence honoring long time member, Donna Young, who recently passed away.
