It’s the last day to renew per the club policy book. If you haven’t renewed yet your renewal must be postmarked by today or it will be returned to you. We will NOT be accepting renewals at the May general membership meeting as the club policy book clearly states TODAY is the last day we accept renewals.

GARBAGE & PICKUP DAY CHANGE
The way we handle garbage at the range is being changed. The club is switching to 60
gal. wheeled containers that will be distributed along the line. There will be a spare
by the enclosure. If you find a full container switch it out with an empty. Basin Disposal changed our pickup day to Wednesday
This new system will only succeed if members at the range on Tuesday move any cans half full to the enclosure.
We may be shy of cans on Wednesdays until the garbage truck arrives.
This is a work in progress. Some adjustment for placement and number of cans may be
needed in the future. The upside; no more lifting those steel drums that have caused
injuries!
Flatten all boxes before disposal, compress contents, and set out for pickup. Just like
you do at home!!
Weed Spraying
The range will be closed 14 APR from 0700 to 1200 for weed spraying.
Trap Throwers Back in Service
The trap throwers are in service after replacing the spring on the stop/release lever for the throwing arm. The plan is to add an additional external spring since the factory design does not hold up to the use they get and weather elements. In the interim ensure that the stop/release lever is forward before cocking the arm.

New Range Safety System Master Switch
The power/range control system is in progress with long needed upgrades. The main power switch next to the flag pole is all new. The switch is off at the 9 o’clock position and is on at the 12 o’clock position. The switch only moves from 9 to 12 or 12 to 9. Do not force the switch in any other directions.

MONTHLY MEMBER MEETING VENUE CHANGE
Starting with the April 1,2021 meeting, we will be using the EAGLES Hall, located at 2829 W Sylvester St, Pasco as our new meeting location. With the growth of TCMSA and the increased attendance at the meetings, we need more room. The area of the Eagles that we will be using is larger, allowing for more ‘space’ for attendees. The meetings will still be on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm. The hall opens at 5:00 pm and they do have refreshments available.
MEMBERSHIP DUES
The gate combination will be changing on April 1,2021. If you haven’t paid your dues yet and want the new combination before April 1,2021, you need to mail in your dues before March 15,2021. All members are getting permanent member badges which take time to manufacture and mail out. Starting April 1,2021, all members will be required to display their badge while on the range. Members can obtain a ‘spouse’ permanent badge for a one-time fee of $10. Guests/Visitors will be required to wear a guest/visitor sticker badge while at the range, these will be available in the sign-in area.
