Spouse Badges

Tri-Cities Metallic Silhouette Association Posted on by

New permanent badges are being sent to all members when they renew this year. The badges are to be worn while on the range. Guest/visitors will be required to wear a sticker that will be available in the sign in trailer.

A member has suggested a permanent badge for their spouse and the Club has decided to make this option available to members. The badge WILL NOT have an expiration date or combination on it, and will read “SPOUSE” instead. This will be a permanent badge. The fee for the spouse badge will be a one time $10 unless a replacement is needed.

IT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR YOUR SPOUSE, this is a ‘convenience’ badge for those that use the range frequently.
When ordering, include your name, membership number and your spouses’ name for the badge.

TCMSA Election Update

Tri-Cities Metallic Silhouette Association Posted on by

With the continuing restrictions for meetings because of COVID, the TCMSA annual elections will be conducted online.

The link for casting your vote will be on the TCMSA web page starting January 1, 2021.  Voting will continue until the link is closed, January 6, 2021.  When you access the web page, go to the link “BALLOT” and cast your vote for the positions and the rule changes as listed on the ballot.

All members planning on attending the January 7, 2021 meeting at HAPO Center, please watch the web page/email for a possible cancellation due to extensions of the quarantine/meeting restrictions.

Keep in mind that if restrictions continue and you plan on paying your dues in person, there may not be meetings until spring.  With the issuance of the new PERMANENT membership badges this year, your dues need to be received no later than March 1, 2021, to ensure that you get your badge and combination before the combination change date of April 1, 2021.   Any dues received after April 30, 2021, will require you to rejoin the Club and attend the new member orientation.

Webmaster Wanted

Tri-Cities Metallic Silhouette Association Posted on by
Our webmaster who has provided a great service to the club for many years managing our webpage is leaving the area.   The club is looking for a member who could take over his role.   We need a person who has sufficient knowledge and experience managing a web page using word press.   They would be responsible for maintaining our blog, posting announcements concerning events, newsletter, updating documents for the links on the main menu and other information passed on by the officers and board.
It would entail about 2 to 4 hours per month of posting, emailing, or forwarding emails to the Club.
Any member interested, please send an email to the Club using the “CONTACT US” link on the TCMSA.ORG webpage.

TCMSA Nominations and Elections

Tri-Cities Metallic Silhouette Association Posted on by

Elections for Club Officers and two Board positions are coming up in the January 7, 2021 meeting. Since we are not able to have a general membership meeting on December 3, 2020, because of Covid restrictions, the club is looking for nominations via email. The positions up for nominations are:

President, currently held by Gaylord Baker

Vice President, currently held by Brett Menaker

Treasurer, currently held by Rick Kilgore

Secretary, currently held by Cosette Baker

Membership, currently held by Dwayne Locker

Board positions open for election

David Baalman

Alex Job, who is not running for the position.

To make a nomination or volunteer for one of the open positions, send the nomination by using the “contact us” tab on the TCSMA.ORG web page.

IF THE RESTRICTIONS ARE LIFTED, TCMSA is planning a meeting on January 7, 2021, at 7:00 pm at the HAPO center in Pasco. If the restrictions are still in place, we will have a vote by email system in place.

TCMSA DUES FOR 2021

Your dues for 2021 need to be in before May 1, 2021. After that date, you will be considered a new member and be required to rejoin and attend new member orientation. If we are able to have a meeting on January 7, 2021, you can pay then. Because of meeting limits, we can not use Griggs, it is too small. The HAPO Center would be used for the January meeting because of the elections, but because of the cost, there may not be any other in-person meetings before the renewal date. The best alternative is to mail your dues to:

TCMSA
P.O. BOX 4587
PASCO, WA 99302

Include your name, member number, and NRA member expiration date. Dues are $60, $40 if you have work party credit.

MEMBERSHIP IDENTIFICATION BADGES

In response to the rapid growth in members of the Club, effective April 1, 2021, all members will have a membership badge that will be displayed while on the range. These new badges will be mailed after you pay your 2021 dues. These are permanent badges, with new tags for the year and combination issued each year.
All guests, after April 1, 2021, will be required to have a temporary badge that will be available in the sign-in trailer.
