The Treasurer’s report was approved as read. First club shoot of the year is this weekend, 2/6 and 2/7. Compound shoot will be held on Saturday, 2/6 and Traditional shoot will be held on Sunday, 2/7. Club will not cancel either shoot this weekend due to bad weather. Volunteers to help set up for both shoots this weekend would be appreciated. Be sure to sign up for Shooter of the Year before the first shoot this weekend to make sure that all scores can be counted. Ideas to improve Monthly shoot participation were discussed: The first "Introduction to 3D shoots" class was given last weekend by Mike Shea. It was successful with a good turn-out. We acquired 7 new members as a result of the class and many expressed interest in Archery lessons. We will hold an upcoming vote on the proposed change that was discussed in the January meeting. The proposal was to change the month to December for our Yearly voting for Club Officers and Board Members. This will be voted on at our next club meeting in March. Mike Shea requested to have the club purchase some cores for 3D targets. Mike Chesser asked for a price quote to be prepared for the cores. Mike Chesser will be working on adding a PayPal link to the club’s website. Target Inventory was completed over the weekend and there are 135 3D targets in good condition. One goal for this year will be to have scorable ASA 3D targets on the Compound walk-around range. We have a new Ballot system that we implemented for tonight’s elections. Everyone will be given a prepared ballot and you will be asked to fill in the candidate that you would like to vote for.
