TCMSA calendar vs. mobile devices
You need to scroll down to see the club calendar, the mobile theme utilized by the CMS is putting the menu full width followed by the newsletter signup and then your page content. But that is how every page is being presented. You can also just rotate your device to landscape and you can see the calendar without scrolling.
You can add the club events calendar to your personal calendar. If you need assistance contact your service provider.

Dues Structure Change
TCMSA has tendered a request for 120 acres of surplus land from the BLM. This property is about 4 miles north of our current location. If the request is approved, we will need the funds immediately. The BLM will not do a real estate contract and you can not get a bank loan on bare land. The monies will be needed for the land, all closing costs and legal fees for the Club to become the legal owner. This will insure we have operating funds for development and normal operations. This will increase our funds by about $65,000 in fours years.
At the annual meeting on January 5th the body voted with over a 2/3 majority vote to adopt the following dues structure:
2023 Dues $70 Work Party credit $25 New member dues $90
2024 Dues $80 Work Party credit $30 New member dues $100
2025 Dues $90 Work Party credit $35 New member dues $110
2026 Dues $100 Work Party credit $40 New member dues $120
The new dues for 2023 will apply to dues paid at meetings or by mail postmarked after January 5. If you attended a work party in 2022 your 2023 dues are reduced by $20.
The work party credit stated for each year applies to the following year’s dues. Example: if you attend a work party in 2023 the $25 reduction applies to your 2024 dues.
Range Closure
The range will be closed from 0930 to 1100 on Wednesday January 4,2023. A member will be rebuilding
the 50 yard berm.
Happy New Year
The Board, Officers, Range Maintenance, Safety Committee and Safety Advisers wish the membership a Happy & Safe New Year.

It must be submitted whether you renew by mail or at a meeting. The preferred method is to fill it out online and print so it is legible.
