North Florida Archers meeting minutes
January 06, 2021

The Club Meeting was called to order with the Pledge of Allegiance and Moment of Silence for First Responders and Service men and women at home and abroad.

There was no December 2020 meeting so no minutes were read by the Secretary.

The Treasurer report was consolidated for Nov and Dec 2020. It showed regular and customary expenses. We continue to have good online payment activity for memberships and renewals. We have good account balances heading into 2021.

President’s talking points…

Shooter of the Year signups have started and will run through the First Club Shoot in February. No Fee and you must decide a class (see form for details), Monthly Shoots and Tuesday Shoots will count. Novelty shoots will not..ie.. Coon Shoots, Tom Swift Challenge, Iron Man, etc…

Elections are coming up in February and will be a little different this year. There will be a ballot vote with names for ballots collected thru January 15 or write in capability on night of the election.
