North Florida Archers Meeting Minutes

April 5, 2017

Meeting was called to order by Michael Chesser. The Pledge of Allegiance was given and a moment of silence was observed for our men and women serving at home and abroad.
Don Williams read the minutes from the 3/1 club meeting. Accepted as read by membership.
Lesa Clifford provided the treasures report which included various updates on Liability & Accident Insurance as well as brief discussion on Lease Contract with City of Jax.
- Michael noted that Lease should be wrapped up in the next couple of months.

Michael Chesser updated the club on several ongoing topics;
Tuesdays – Working Man Shoots: Events are more heavily promoted on social media and it seems to be helping with turnout which has been very good!
Monthly 3D Shoots are also more heavily promoted and turnout continues to increase each month.
Michael extended appreciation to membership efforts towards club improvement which includes:
- Shoot setups
- Trail clearing
- Equipment maintenance
- Member Safety/Fences/Stand maintenance
Trespassing reports have diminished. Be alert and vigilant.
- As always, IF members encounter any non-club members on property and they are resistant to leaving when asked by a member, Contact the Police to have them “escorted off premises”.
The Wounded Warrior Archery Event was a great success. A motion was made to honor Andre and Chip with Honorary Membership as Club Ambassadors. Membership voted 100% Affirmative!
- Club will look at adding a Handicapped Parking Sign where appropriate.
