Oakland County Sportsman – May 2024
May 1, 2024
The Winter Banquet occurred April 13th at the Main Club. We had our usual large group of Archers of all ages. Camaraderie filled the hall with table games and bragging rights for those who won their league. Ed Lee was awarded the high honor of Archer of the Year! Thanks goes out to Sebrina and her helpers for decorating the hall. The food was delicious thanks to Kathy and the cooking staff. We also found Woody the Woodpecker who keeps putting holes in the trim boards.
April 27 & 28 at 9 am – 3 pm Troop 189 Eagle Scout candidate Jacob Fielbrandt will be helping
