From the President:

I hope you are already aware from either reading this site last month or by attending the recent monthly meetings, that the club is most likely going to have a vote at the annual meeting in February to make membership in the NRA mandatory to all club members. I highly encourage ALL members to vote on this issue as it will have an impact on everyone. If you cannot attend the February annual meeting I am excepting votes by proxy starting now and lasting until the meeting. Please EMAIL or call me to vote on this issue. Only one vote per membership will be accepted. For more information on the NRA membership program please see the NRA grant program.

-Bill Aloisio.

CAMPGROUND:  Starting immediately the power to the campground will be shut off and locked out for the winter months. Power will be restored in the spring.

ARCHERY:  Our friends over at Blackhawk Field Archers have released their 2010 shoot schedule and also some information on the I.B.O 2010 Illinois state championship shoot.

LAKE:  Remember you must use the buddy system when on the ice.
