In order to get more participation, we also talked about letting kids under 16 shoot either traditional or compound bows.

January 14, 15 and 16 we are doing the Nebraska Deer and Game Expo in Lincoln. Brian got the entry fee down to $200.00 and our booth is next to the NBA which should get some attention. When it gets closer, we will be sending out a volunteer time sheet. Board members will be expected to sign up.

Talked about the annual banquet and Cynde brought up the suggestion of moving it out of Fremont if we can find a place more centralized for the club members. If you have any suggestions feel free to bring it up to Brian. We would like to donate some money to the Fremont Rural Firemen for letting us use the firehouse in the years past as good faith.

Brian has been talking to the Game and Parks about putting up an archery range at Mahoney State Park. He met with the supervisors, and they are looking at sites. Our plan is to have the club members volunteer to help change out the targets if needed.
