Proposals

·         Tournament finances and AA
1.       Archival Archery only lists tournament on web-site.  Example: National Indoors.  Promotion done as a service to archery growth.  No fees to AA. (Passed)
2.       Archival Archery sanctions the event but does not help with registration, judging, venue or equipment.  Archival Archery to receive 5% of profits. (Voted out; no fees to go to AA.)
3.       Archival Archery sanctions events and does on-line registrations and bookkeeping.  Example: 2002 JOAD Indoors in Bay City.  Archival Archery to get 10% of profits. (Passed)
4.       If tournament is one of the Big Three for AA.  Example: State Indoor, State Outdoor, State Field.  Archival Archery to receive 20% of the profits.  (Passed)
 

·    Late Fees - To be or not to be?
Members and tournament directors voted to keep late fees intact.  Late registrations make more work for everyone and need to be discouraged.
·    Tournament fees - Increase State Championship fees to $30.  Fees have not increased lately and cost of target faces and bales has gone up. (Passed)
·    Newsletter - Still want hard copy mailed out?  Average cost is $300.  (Passed)

Mildred & James Hosford Memorial Foundation:  
The Hosfords were long-time supporters of archery in A and stayed in touch in their later years via Rick Stonebraker.  Jim passed away some time ago and was followed last year by Mildred. Through their generosity, the Archival Archery is the fortunate recipient of a $20,000 endowment.  The donation will be invested in secure short-term investments as in CD’s.  After a few years of growth the foundation’s interest will be a source of funding for Archery growth in A.
