GAME DINNER -- Date to be determined  

.  We have reduced the maximum number of tickets to be sold from previous years, there will be NO WALK-INS allowed, member or not.

. 

*Food donations to the Game Dinner:

Venison is greatly needed and has been coming in. We still need at least 2 full deer. Also just about any other type of wild meat, fish or fowl is also needed. The bone must be removed.  Each package must be labeled with your name and type of meat.  Deer and other game are still very much in need
 Please call Bob Bruno and arrange for delivery/ pick up. Bob will also process the deer if need be. A deer  MUST be field dressed. We understand that some members don't know how to butcher an animal or maybe even skin or de-bone it, that is why we offer this pick up service. Another option is to bring the animal to Bob's house, and get some hands on instruction if you want to learn about processing your game. 

Do not hesitate to call Bob, at any reasonable time of day, to schedule a pick up or delivery.  Bob Bruno:   brunobows@comcast.net

GAME DINNER DOOR PRIZES AND RAFFLE ITEMS 

We are seeking donations of door prize items and raffle items for our annual game dinner.  We ask that all items be in new unused condition.

President Bob Bruno, has obtained a muzzle loader as the major prize

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, its property, and its activities in operation.

The club has a program where members can receive a $10/hr credit, for a maximum of 5 hrs, $50, This will apply towards their next dues payment in the following Fiscal year, which is in the month of June.   

Donna Rhoads, dlwrhoads@gmail.com; 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 an Indoor Range and 3 outdoor courses on our property: 3-D, Field, and Knock-a-Block. All members need to remember that multiple archers, can be  on any of the 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, Stay Alert, and be aware of other shooters at all times.
