The Registrar reported that we are losing members far faster than we are gaining new members. Each and every member is encouraged to recruit family and friends to join the Society. Joining a local chapter (or forming one if there is not one in your county) is the best way to become an active member.
The State Society has only about 50 active members. The other 650 members rarely, if ever, participate in the events of the Society. For those members, the Rifleman is an important benefit of membership. Recognizing this, the board passed a resolution directing that the Rifleman be published quarterly.
The Tennessee Society standing rules have not been updated for some time. The Board asked that the previous edition of the rules be distributed to each board member, and additions or corrections be collected for consideration at the January meeting of the Board. Once the standing rules are approved by the Board, copies will be made for distribution.
Christmas Celebration – Charles Carroll, president of the European Society, plans to host a special party for the Officers, members of the Board of Managers, and active members of the Tennessee Society on December 11. Information about this event may be obtained from Charles, or from Chris Christenberry.
