New Business

Becky Douglas is putting a letter together to send along with our Veteran's shoot flyer to help ask for donations/contributions for the event. She also asked if SCA wanted to donate some money to assemble a couple of gift baskets. If you would like to help with planning please see Becky at:

beckydouglass3@gmail.com We will discuss this further at upcoming meetings.

Start thinking about Winter League. Sign-up will be coming SOON.

Tournament shooters cannot shoot alone & you cannot score your own score cards.

Wayne Sluhan talked to the Joshua Chamberlain Society and they did confirm receipt of our donation. They apologized for the lack of correspondence.

For upcoming Tournaments there will not be a Bow Hunter Class just a Men's Open Class.

We should invite the Fisher House to our Veteran's Shoot.

Cub Scout Leader may give an archery demo to scouts this summer at our range.

New Rule for SCA club hunting and fishing outings. One paid member may bring one non-member to help increase our attendance and help promote new membership in our organization..
