OLD BUSINESS
HOF – There was a discussion regarding adding items to the HOF Building before the state shoot. The pictures of the Hall of Fame members will be 8x10 pictures in an 11x14 frame with a white mat around the picture that will have the HOF member’s name & year they were inducted. There are 104 people in the HOF, counting two being inducted this year. The pictures will be placed on the south wall and use the west wall for trophy distribution. The board agreed to have Bill Huhn move forward with the picture & frame project.
Gift Brick for HOF – Bill Huhn reported the early donors did not have gift brick forms completed. He identified about 10 people in that group and ordered bricks for all of them. Denny Baker will coordinate with the landscaper regarding installing the brick sidewalk. The bricks will be installed before the state shoot.
Cabinets for HOF – Dennis Baker researched cabinets and found ones that measure 70” L x 2-3’ deep, glass on three sides with 2 glass shelves inside the cabinet costing $560 each. Six cabinets would fit across the south wall. They open in the back; therefore, they would need to be placed away from the wall to place items inside. Mike Dennis, Stan Systo and Charlie Bickle offered to each purchase/donate a cabinet. Bill Huhn made a motion for Denny Baker to order the cabinets; Kevin Wunder seconded the motion. Motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
2025 State Shoot Program – Joan discussed with the board changes she made for the 2025 State Shoot program to make it flow better. Charlie will reach out to Kolar for either approval to use last year’s ad or request a new one. Dennis Baker said he and his son will pay for trophies for the Baker Farms Doubles instead of donating $1,000. Joan asked Michelle to send her addresses from last year’s State shoot attendees and she will add new names to the mailing list. Lauren said the number of programs printed last year was good. Joan will see how many new addresses there are and will add that number to last year’s total. Joan mentioned she is running short on stickers. Several clubs said they would bring their left overs to the state shoot if needed.
DELEGATE REPORT – Bill Duncan reported there is nothing new to report, but he will update the board if anything happens before the next meeting date.
NEXT MEETING DATE – April 5, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Scheels in Springfield.
ADJOURNMENT – Motion to adjourn was made by Kevin Wunder; Pat Haskins seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted by Joan Maiden, ISTA Secretary
