The meeting was held at Derrich Pollock's home.  All five officers, five members, two guests  and one son were present (13 total participants).  Issues of the April - June 1996 Hunting His Way and several flyers were distributed.  The minutes from the business meeting are as follows:

1.       The meeting was opened by the NAC President.

2.       A discussion was held on the Annual Rabbit Hunt scheduled for 6/21 - 6/22/96 at Paul Wilson's ranch.

3.       A discussion was held on the next NAC General Meeting scheduled for 8/1/96 at Larry Dowden's home.

4.       A discussion was held on finding an alternative for Rainbow Lake (where we used to hold the Semi Annual Catfish Fishing Outings) due to that facilities closure.

5.       A discussion was held on the Annual Hog Hunt tentatively scheduled for 2/7 - 2/8/97.  A ranch was located that allows rifle and pistol hunting.  Regardless of which ranch we go to, $55.00 is due to Larry Dowden by 11/1/96 for those who wish to go.

6.       A discussion was held on having a Paintball Competition at Texas Paint Ball between the NAC and SAC in the fall of 1996.

8.       A discussion was held on purchasing T-shirts or window decals due to a limitation of funds.  A vote was taken.  It was decided to purchase T shirts only this year.  Men who join or renew their memberships will continue to receive a patch.  This will not go into effect until approval at the next SAC General Meeting.

9.       A discussion was held on selling Club paraphernalia above cost in order to raise money.  A vote was taken.  It was decided to sell T-shirts, caps and patches for up to 50% over cost.  Caps will now sell for $9.00.  Patches will now sell for $4.25.  The T-shirt price will be announced as soon as possible.  This also will not go into effect until approval at the next SAC General Meeting.
