<DIV><FONT size=2>We have exactly two months till the Defender of the Fort
event. As announced previously, we need new archery targets. The
targets and the stands we've used in the past are completely wasted. New
ones must be built or purchased. I am in favor of building new ones.
It would probably be cheaper. However, this is a project that must be
started now. It will take time to put a bid together and submit it to the
financial committee for approval. Then purchasing all the need materials
and construction will also take time. I do not want to be working on
the targets the weekend before the event when I will need help doing last minuet
things. </FONT><FONT size=2>Again, this is a project that must be started
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am still looking for a volunteer to take charge of
rebuilding the archery targets that is willing to start working
today.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If I do not receive a volunteer in the next day or three, I
will assume that no one is interested and will petition our Seneschal to buy
store bought targets and stands. If it is determined that it is too
expensive to buy targets than we will paint targets on the ground for our
Baronial Bowman Champion competition ( wouldn't that be classy ) or cancel it
all together. I certainly don't want to see that happen. Won't
someone please step forward ?</FONT></DIV>
