Spouse Badges
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.

Webmaster Wanted
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
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.
