Elk River Daycamps this coming weekend

Good Afternoon All!!

Coming right up starting on Saturday are the first MN Biathlon Daycamps of the new training year!! We still have two openings [3 on Saturday] if you would still like to sign up with Lynda Bouley lyndabouley@gmail.com

For those needing a rifle fit—please try to arrive early—even by 8:00 would be good!! 

The tentative schedule is attached. We are expecting some rain, but the time and amount forecast keeps changing. In any case, bring a change of clothes! [maybe two?]

Thanks and hope to see you there!!
Bill Meyer, Coach

Memberships and rifle lease payments

Good Morning Everyone!!

Winter doesn’t want to give up around here! A record year for snow a few days ago and we got 4-6”more of wet sloppy stuff last evening. Stuck to everything including the clotheslines! So everything is frosted—very pretty! But…….

I am slowly getting in the rifle lease payments and memberships for MN Biathlon. I would really like to get this done—so if you have a rifle from MN Biathlon—you need to get the rental form completed and mailed in. And everyone—you should be members of MN Biathlon—so please get that taken care of!!

Those two sources are the major sources of income statewide for the year! And for those in the Twin Cities—the added fee for the range upkeep is used for all the improvements at that venue in Elk River and to support the largest group in MN, Twin Cites Biathlon. The coaching fee is used directly to help set up that summer program at Elk River. 

The corporate officers are all volunteers and receive no reimbursement. When we invite outside coaches into our camps, or send a coach out of state for National meets, we try to help with some of their expenses. 

Please let me know if you have any questions—then if you haven’t yet submitted—please get it done!!

Thanks
Bill Meyer, Coach
