MONTHLY MEETING
The JULY monthly meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 2, 2019 at 7p.m.
A cash prize drawing is taken at each monthly meeting. If a members name is drawn and is not present at the meeting, that member will not receive the prize. A member must be present to win. Peter Pierre was drawn at the June 2019 meeting but was not present, thus he did not win the $120 cash prize. Next month the prize will be reset to $130
MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL REMINDER
June is the start of our fiscal year. Membership renewals are due at this time. This year the renewals will be sent out as hard-copy via the postal system. It was determined that this should avoid anyone missing the notice for renewal. Also, hard-copy membership cards will be sent to everyone as their membership is renewed. Members who wish to pay at a monthly meeting, rather than through the mail, may do so, however mailing in your renewal is preferred.Please sign up and send in your renewals--Thank You

WORK HOURS
There is always a great need for volunteers to handle the large variety of work activities that are necessary to keep the club, it`s property, and it`s activities in operation.
The club has a program where members can receive a $10/hr credit, for a maximum of 5 hrs, $50,that will apply towards their next dues payment in the following Fiscal year, which is in the month of June.
Frank Czajkowski, gundoglover@sbcglobal.net,, must be contacted in order to, record any work hours that a member has performed, to keep a total of a members work hours, and to assure the proper credit is applied.
*BE ALERT----SAFETY FIRST
As an archery club, we are very fortunate to have 3 outdoor courses on our property: 3-D, Field, and Knock-a-Block. All members need to remember that multiple archers , can be out on any of the 3 courses, at any given time. Safety always comes first.
Also, for your awareness, you may see hunters on the property. Do not be alarmed, as these are club members that have permission to bow hunt deer and turkey.
Have fun, but Stay Alert, and be aware of other shooters at all times.

Class Overview
This is a beginner archery class which will concentrate on archery safety
and basic shooting form. All participants must be at least 8 years of age.
Each child will progress at their own pace and ability. This will be a
non-competitive environment, but those who desire may measure their
progress by scoring in order to attain achievement awards. No equipment
is required but you can shoot with your own equipment if desired.
Archery Tournaments
While it is not required to compete in any tournaments, there are members of the JOAD
class, often referred to as “The Team” that compete regularly. There is no qualification
score required to be eligible. However, it is suggested you do not shoot in a competitive
setting until you can consistently hit the target. Keep in mind, at any USA Archery event
archers must shoot at a minimum of 18M (aprox 20yds) Additional registration fee
required for tournaments. You must have your own equipment.
Algonquin JOAD Instructors may or may not be available at events for assistance.
