Vermont Elks Holds State Soccer Shoot Finals in St. Albans.

Congratulations to all the local soccer shoot winners who participated in this shoot and to all the Vermont State winners. Now, the 1st Place Winners will go on to compete in the Region 1 Soccer Shoot in Augusta Maine on the 7th, 8th and 9th of November.

I would like to thank Exalted Ruler Mark Hogaboom and all the St Albans Elks Lodge members that helped host this shoot, from setting up and tearing down to cooking and serving such a wonderful meal at the lodge after the event. A special thanks to Collins Perley Sports Center for the use of their beautiful facilities and to Vermont Elks State President Carl Colburn and all the Elk members from throughout the state that assisted in making this shoot a success. Lastly, but not least, I want to thank my family for not only the help they have given me since I started as chairman, but for all of their unwavering support. Again congratulations to all and we will see you in Augusta.
