*** 2007 WAIVER REQUIRED ***

All shooters at the Lippold Center and any other Auroraland Archers venue must sign a new waiver every year BEFORE being allowed to participate. This is required in order to meet the obligations to our insurance provider. The waiver book is kept on the counter. This requirement applies to EVERY SHOOTER, not just club members.

Monthly Club Meeting

Our next meeting will be Thursday, May 3 at 7:30 at Lippold Center on Route 25 in Batavia. Please join us.

April 1 – DART Face Shoot Results

Eight shooters attended our April Club Shoot. Everyone shot a 501 Round on the Dart Face Target, and then the 2 best shooting males & females shot a second round to determine 1st & 2nd place. Our first place winners were Michelle Augustyn and Bob Stehlin. Second place finishers were Beth Stehlin & Dave Shumway.

Awards Banquet

Our annual Awards Banquet was held Saturday, April 21 at Fishermen’s Inn in Elburn. There were a total of 39 guests.

Interesting archery quote

For any of you (yes, me too) who maybe spend a little too much on archery stuff, I found this quote pretty accurate: ”My biggest fear is that when I'm dead and gone my wife will sell my Archery Equipment for what I told her I paid for it.”

Tenant Reminder

Please be sensitive to the fact that a tenant is now living upstairs at the Lippold Center. Lets all be good downstairs-neighbors.
