During 2026, LPRGC is replacing its door access system and key cards. The previous system had reached the end of its useful life, and the new system will enhance our ability to securely manage access to the facilities.
Current Status
Card Mailings
Cards are being mailed in the chronological order that people confirmed their mailing addresses and submitted a photo.
First 50 Cards – Mailed June 28
Batch #2 – Cards 50-1000 – To be mailed July 6, 2026
Batch #3 – Cards 1000-1700 – planned for Work Party on July 11, 2026
Batch #4 – All remaining cards – TBD
Note: It is not possible for me to individually notify you when your card is mailed or to provide status updates via email at this time. We have 2400 cards to print and mail, and the focus is completing the project, not dealing with individual questions or issues at this point. Please keep an eye out for the mailing, and at some point you may receive a more definitive update as mailings progress. Once all cards have been mailed, further communication will be sent out to the entire club.
As of May 2026, new readers have been installed in the Archery building Clubhouse, and vehicle gates.

New Key Cards
We will begin printing and mailing new key cards starting in June. Before printing key cards, members will be asked to confirm or update their mailing address and provide a recent headshot photo. You will receive an email requesting this information, and we will begin printing and shipping cards based on the order that we receive responses. If you do not wish to provide a photo, your card will be printed using either the photo we have on file, or without a photo.
Current/Old Key Cards
The existing key cards will be deactivated once all current members have received their new key cards. This will likely be in August or September 2026, depending on the time that it takes to collect, verify, print, and mail all 2400 new membership cards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you please confirm that you received my edits and photo?
A: No, this needs to be self-service by you. If the information and photo show up on the contact page, then you are good to go. I can’t answer hundreds of emails confirming things.
Q: Can I email you my photo and current address? Can I hand you a physical photo for you to scan in to the system for me?
A: No, this needs to be self-service by you. If the information and photo show up on the contact page, then you are good to go. I can’t answer hundreds of emails or scan hundreds of photos of people. Please help me to focus on the overall project and not special handling of requests. Thank you very much!
Q: Can I pick up my membership card from you in person?
A: No, that is not possible.
Q: How will I know when my new card has been mailed?
A: I’ll do my best to keep people informed via email, but the current focus is printing and mailing the cards.
Q; Which key card should I use?
A: Use the new key card as soon as you receive it. All ranges and buildings will have new readers before the cards are distributed. Your old key card will remain active for a period of time, but not indefinitely.
Q: How can I know which key card reader to use?
A: The new readers have electronic displays integrated in them and look much “newer”. The new key cards work on the new readers, and the old cards work on the old readers. Key cards do not work between systems.
Q: What should I do with my old key card?
A: You can keep it, but it will not work once the old system is shut off. We will not be collecting old cards, you can also throw it out.
Q: Does the new system support phone-based credentials?
A: Yes, however we are focused on replacing the old key cards first. Once that is complete, the board may choose to enable additional features of the system.
Q: How can I tell the new key cards apart?
A: The new cards have range hours printed on the back side, and feature the Betsy Ross version of the American Flag.
