 NOTES NEWS & VIEWS
	Two new board members were recently appointed.  Carl Dodd replaced Monte Page and Mike Fritz replaced Ray Davis.  Your other board members are Ed King, Bill Fritz, Jim Adams, and Greg Crank.	
Because of current events, the tone of current political discussions and debates, and because of the media's failure to accurately report incidents involving firearms, gun shows have recently received poor media coverage.  If the media is present at the Gun Show, you may want to inform them that our organization encourages strict compliance with firearm laws and sponsors firearm safety training.  The Gun Shows also provide a place for collectors to trade firearms and purchase supplies related to firearms.
