MAY 7TH, 2008

APRIL SHOOT

It was a good time for everyone who came to play on a great course set up by Barb Frost, Gary Perkins, Dan Brandvold, Dale DeFrees, Russ Oyster and Parker and Dave Lennihan. Thanks to all of you! Your imagination and ingenuity provided a lot of fun! Thanks go to Fred Larson for cooking this for this shoot, we know it's a hard job, and much appreciated!

And of course, a thank you to all who helped to bring in the animals and took care of all the "little things" that make our shoots a success. It really does take all of us working together to make these tournaments happen, so if you have any ideas, or want to help set up, please contact a club officer or attend the next meeting.

This will be the last newsletter for this year. Thanks for all your support and assistance!

THERE WILL BE NO MAY SHOOT AT THE CIA RANGE

There will be no shoot in May at the Cook Inlet Archer's range!! CIA will be hosting the ASAA shoot at the ASAA range at the Matsu College in Wasilla. We need volunteers to help set the 2 loop, 40 target tournament on Friday, May16th. We also need volunteers to help with registration, getting refreshments on the course, cooking and things in general on the 17th and 18th. If you can be of assistance, please contact: Gary Perkins at 688-2924 or Dan Branvold at 749-0200.

OCTOBER SHOOT

The next shoot will be OCT. 20TH. The sign up will be at 9 and the shoot will start at 10.

Those archers participating in the new Bowhunter Open class, please be registered and on the course by 9:30. If you have any announcements or information to pass along to the rest of the club members, please get them to Gary before the shoot starts and he will announce them during the briefing. The course closes at 4:00. As usual, all archers must be off the course and their scores posted before 4:00.

Remember, if you help to set the course, you shoot for free!

ALASKA STATE ARCHERY ASSOCIATION SHOOT

Cook Inlet Archers will be hosting the ASAA shoot in May. It will take place the 17TH and 18th of May.

Please click on the ASAA SHOOT link for fees and contacts.

SUSTAINING LIFE MEMBERSHIPS

CIA is continuing its sustaining life membership drive. Those of you who are life members are being given the chance to participate in this program by donating the equivalent of the regular yearly dues ($20.00 for single, $25.00 for family) annually to the club. In return for your generosity, you will receive a certificate of participation, and be eligible for a drawing at the end of the year for a custom knife made by John Johnston.

Robert Palmer and Errol Bickford have become sustaining members and Jeff Roehel has become a life member. They, along with Gary Perkins, Ned Lewis, Vikki Gross and Fred Larson are all entered in the drawing for the knife to be given away at the ASAA shoot.

LOCK THE GATE!

Vikki has received an email from Val Barkley stating that the municipality maintenance folks have reported to her that the gate to our archery range has been found unlocked on more that one occasion over the last few weeks. The gate MUST BE LOCKED AFTER YOU USE IT!!! Please remember that it only takes a few people to make things harder for the rest of us. Thank you for your help.

BUSINESS MEETING

The next meeting will be Oct. 1st, at 7:00, at Pizza Man in Eagle River. Please plan to attend and bring your ideas and suggestions.
