Check the Archery website for event times and range closures at: Archery Events or Archery Facebook or JOAD. Speaking of range closures …

The Indoor Range Wall workbee is December 27 at 8 am. We are looking for help to make new screens, repack bails, and replace any damaged framing. Come on out and give a hand.

We are still looking for a league secretary for the Traditional League, either mornings or evenings. Also, we are looking for a volunteer or two to vacuum the indoor range once a week during winter leagues. All of these are good ways to get in your work hours.

If you are having issues getting into the Archery building with your card key, contact the club office for a replacement. Guardian system hardware flash invalidated some cards.
I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sincerely,
John Borth
