Officer Reports

President’s Report (Jack Keightley)

Jack purchased some new kids bows so we will have more at the pavilion for our increased activity. He also purchased 6 new Rinehart targets with the check we received from the disbandment of the St. Louis Archery Council. Jack asked Richard Kurtzeborn to call the parks dept. and ask them about the bridge repair needed on the back of the archery range.

A Thank You letter was received from the St. Louis Fisher House regarding our recent donation from the Veteran's Shoot proceeds.

Our Deer Classic shoot was another success with 82 total shooters 67 of which were paid shooters. Thanks to Bob Urbanek for getting the trophies for us. Lastly, for the upcoming tournaments there will be no men's Bow Hunter class-just Men's Open.

Also, we have Officer nominations again with voting at October's meeting.

Vice-President’s Report (Joe Hajek)

Joe said everyone that he spoke to the night of the Deer classic thoroughly enjoyed the event. Thanks to all of those volunteers who helped make this another great success!

Park Representative Report (Richard Kurtzeborn)

Richard will be calling the parks department and ask if we can obtain more space in the bale building. We are really expanding and could use the extra space.

Start thinking about Winter League. Sign-up will be coming up in a few months.

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

Joshua Chamberlain Society has not given us any correspondence about our donation. Wayne Sluhan will talk to their rep.

A motion was passed to authorize Richard Kurtzeborn to spend a little more than the $100 lunch budget for the parks department holiday lunch if necessary.

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.

Jack was contacted by a Cub Scout Leader about doing an archery day for Cub Scouts.

Rick Bowen's Grandmothers home burned down. Donations will be taken at the last few fun shoots

Marshall Sidwell and Becky Douglass (Sidwell) are offering to help organize and plan the silent auction, 50/50 raffle and gather donations to spearhead this along to increase turnout & prizes for 2012. For information please contact Becky Douglass at: (beckydouglass3@gmail.com) There was a small group of volunteers at our meeting who would like to help plan the upcoming Veteran's Shoot on April 14, 2012.

We need to take inventory of our 3D Targets and see which ones need to be replaced.

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..
