AGC Meeting

Nextel is looking at the possibility of putting a radio tower on the range property.  They will pay the AGC rent for the property and maintain the access roads and property used.  It was brought up that there may be shooting restrictions around the tower and Del will take this information back to the AGC for investigation prior to any decision being made.
The AGC Trustees have voted to get a Corporate Credit Card for use on AGC and club related business only.  These will be issued to the necessary people in the AGC only.
The building renovations are coming right along and so far are under budget.  If you have a trade that will be needed on the construction of the building, contact Al Schweitzer or Ralph Macella 410-242-5250.

LegislativeReport
Al Hoffman
The Ammo Tax Bill is dead in committee.  Each member should find out who their Delegate is and mail a card or email that says, “ I am a gun owner living at _______ and I vote.  I am for SB806 and SB185.”  These bills are beneficial to gun owners and we need to help get them passed.
2001 Elections in Maryland will be very important for gun issues.  Stay on top of what is happening in your area.
