Hello, everyone,

Thanks for all your prompt replies. For those who are coming to the meeting, we'll meet at the indoor range tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7:00 pm.  Gary is getting detailed information about the range layout used at 2006 JOAD Nationals, number of targets, computer data, scorecards, etc., from the Cincinnati club that hosted it.

Put your thinking caps on--we'll need all your ideas!

Looking forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

Jane

And let me know whether you'd prefer to meet in Edmond or at the indoor range. 

If you know persons not on the list above who are interested in helping with this project, please forward this message to them and/or let me know so I can add them to the list once the meeting date is set.

Looking forward to hearing from you ASAP!
