Commander’s Report: The report covered the kick off celebration of the Civil War Sesquicentennial. Gratitude was extended to all who took part in planning and participating in this event. Appreciation was also extended to the number of members, their families and guest that came out to support the event. The first of two online issues of the Skirmish Line have been published. The goal is to publish two online issues, then in January 2012 return to the printed copy. An option that is currently being discussed is to offer an online edition as well as the printed edition. The Skirmish Line budget is the single most costly line item in the association’s budget. A few years ago, it was costing 23% of our operating budget to produce. An Ad Solicitor has been appointed to solicit ads from companies/sutlers to offset some of the cost in producing the magazine. We have received a substantial, partial ($5,000) payment toward the $10,000 no interest, five-year loan that was made to the Centerburg Conservation Club in 2009. With the help of the N-SSA, the Centerburg range was saved and the N-SSA obtained a long-term use agreement, which will enable the Midwest region to use Centerburg for years to come. There was a concern regarding the number of firearms that were discharged during company matches while the competing companies were snapping caps. Competitors and safety officers must be aware of what is happening during the snap caps portion of each event. Safeties in particular should be moving up and down the firing line so that they can readily observe the actions of the competitors. Our excellent safety record can only continue if we are all involved in making sure we are all safe on the firing line. The corporate sponsorship/supporter program was approved by the BoD at the May meeting and is off to a great start under the guidance of our Corporate Relations Officer, Al Minneman. Programs like this will help provide much needed revenue to our association at no additional cost to the individual members. A late request was submitted asking the association to relax the rules to allow pets at nationals. This will not be addressed during the August Board meeting. This particular issue will be addressed at the January 2012 board meeting. All rules change requests must follow protocol and go through the rules committee. Rules change requests must be submitted to the rules committee chair several weeks prior to the Board package deadline. We are being mandated by the FCC to go to the narrow band emissions on our two-way radios effective 2013. The association has thirty-five radios that must be replaced to comply with the FCC ruling. The Allegheny and Potomac regions have 13 radios that must be replaced as well. Commander McMahon has been working with three different companies, and the company in Winchester has given the lowest bid. Motorola is also offering a rebate deal if the radios are purchased soon. After discussion, it was determined that this decision would be tabled until after the paymaster’s report. 15
