Dear Competitor,

AWARE, in cooperation with the Harvard Sportsmen's Club, will be holding the 
second annual AWARE Invitational IPSC match on April 17-18, 1993. This will be 
run as a USPSA Sanctioned match of approximately 115 rounds (maybe a few more), 
with the net proceeds benefiting AWARE.

The Harvard Sportsmen's Club is located near the intersection of routes 495 & 2 
in Harvard, MA (approx 25 miles NW of Boston).

This match will feature great prizes with generous payout in all classes. We 
currently have sponsorship commitments from Caspian Arms (1 high capacity frame 
and three $300 gift certificates); Dillon Precision (550B reloader w/accessories); 
E.A.R.S. Enterprises (shooting glasses); General Ordnance & Supply of Wayland MA 
($300 gift certificate); Heckler & Koch (unspecified gun); LaRocca Gunsmithing 
($250 gift certificate); Para Ordnance (.45 cal complete gun); Smith & Wesson 
(Model 65LS .357); Seecamp (LWS .32ACP); Taurus (unspecified gun) and Wesson Arms 
(model 738 .357). We anticipate adding several additional sponsors.

A banquet and awards presentation will be held at the Boxboro Host Hotel on Sunday 
Evening after the match. The dinner will provide a great opportunity to socialize 
and relax after a reat match. Please order banquet tickets with your match 
registration, as we need to make an advance commitment on attendance and banquet 
tickets will not be available on match day.

The Boxboro Host Hotel is offering rooms at $85 for the match (ask for the "AWARE 
Invitational" rate) which includes 2 double beds and up to 4 people in the room. 
Their number is (800) 253-6296.

your registration confrimation.
