On May 25th, 2008 our Shooting Brothers in Treuenbrietzen shot their Annual King's Shoot at their club in Treuenbrietzen, Germany. Congratulations go to the new Shooting King, Arno Engel (center), First Knight, Axel Wilke (left) and Birger 'Egon' Peplau (right). We enjoyed the visit of the match winners: return visits from Club president Axel, and Range Officer Arno, and a first time visit for Shooting Brother Egon, accompanied by three more club members for a week in May and June. Our friends came to America for for fellowship, a bit of sight-seeing and to participate in the flag dedication ceremony for the German-American Sports Club of Peoria. They had to return to their home town in Germany after such a short time to celebrate a very important city event: its 800 year anniversary. Congratulations to these winners and to the town of Treuenbrietzen for eight centuries of prosperity!
