The program is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. in the Vienna Grade School’s old gymnasium, also known as the Jack Gordon gym. 

This is for the recurve bow archery program and the air rifle program; air pistol may be available that evening as well, if supplies arrive in time.  

The program is for young people ages 8-18. Participants are asked to enter through the C door in the back.  

Future dates include Thursday evenings on February 8, 15, 22 and March 8, 15, and 22.
