Florence Lilly's Achievements

In 1945 she became Chairman of the Olympic Bowman League of the National Archery Association. Florence handled as many as 2,000 entrants per week over a 6 week period. This went on for over 20 years. In the 50's and 60's she was scorekeeper for the NAA National Championships and she was historian for the Target Tattler until her retirement in 1979.

The following was written by lifelong friend, Sylvia Levitt in March of 1986:

On August 9, 1980 Florence received the honor of being inducted in to the Archery Hall of Fame. The plaque hung on her living room wall....and there was never a person more proud of receiving such an award....and never a person more deserving.
