Andover Sportsmen’s Club is proud to sponsor  Aleppo Shriners' 2019 Annual Feztival of Trees & Craft Show by donating a tree for their main attraction.  The tree will be decorated with $1,000 dollars worth of Mass Lottery Tickets.   

Andover Sportsmen’s Club, on behalf of the Shrinner's, is selling raffle tickets for our "lottery" tree at the festival.

The May meeting had John Ratka, director of the Veterans Northeast Outreach Center, speak. John gave a brief outline of the work that the center does for our veterans.

Andover is once again having an Andover day to be held on September 8th. The club will be having a table. Last year we were very well received.

This year, due to the number of scholarship applicants the club is giving out 6 scholarships. This is in addition to the 4 that we give to local schools. The recipients are:

• Natalie S.
• Sarah S.
• Christa F.

• Anthony C.
• Ryan R.

All of the recipients have been invited to the June 14th membership meeting.

The club is now accepting applications for scholarships to be issue in the spring.

The Andover Sportsmen’s Club Scholarship is a $500 award given annually to two students who have been involved in outdoor sports, ecology, and conservation, who are members of, or who has a parent or grandparent who is a member of, the Andover Sportsmen’s Club.
