4th ANNUAL TBOF CHARITY SHOOT
A message from the President:
Thank you Dick Giles and the fine folks of Hog County Archers
for volunteering to hold the 4th Annual TBOF Charity at your range and
allow the use of your targets and facilities.
After all the numbers were in a total of $5218.24 was raised for the
TBOF archery program at Boggy Creek. This represents a significant increase
over last years event and will allow us to do some special things for the
kids attending our Archery Sessions at The Boggy Creek Gang Camp and R.O.C.K.
Camp during the 2000 calendar year. I would like to thank all of you that
attended and contributed to this event.
-
Of special note is the Manley Knife donated by Buddy Manley. This knife
brought in $800.00 alone. Buddy not only donated the knife, but also sold
tickets.
-
Tony Wolfe brought a bow donated by Bear archery and donated 8 3-D targets
for the silent auction.
-
Jeff Dodd brought a bow donated by Chek-Mate,
-
Ron Weatherman brought a tree stand donated by Warren & Sweat,
-
Johnny Smith donated a tree stand,
-
Eddie Pfund donated a treestand,
-
Bear Archery donated a Grizzly Bow,
-
Paula and Cecil Driskoll of Rogue River donated two bows for the raffle
and another twelve for the kids to use at camp!
There were many other items generously donated. Knives, quivers, arrows,
bow holders and even maple syrup brought fresh from Vermont by Vernon and
Rebecca Blitch who drove down here to attend this shoot and visit with
their TBOF friends.
We had some unusual trophies made by Joni McCormick using an idea that
Debra Giles had about the R.O.C.K. Camp theme. That’s right, they were
rocks. Thanks to Rich Nichol for donating the rocks and to Joni for making
them look good.
Martha Varney won the long shot buffalo, yep, she beat the boy's too,
and when she was presented with he winnings ($64.00) she donated it right
back to the kids. No hesitation at all! Thanks Martha!
A special thanks to all of you for your support and attendance of such
a worthy cause. Your kind donations will make many a smiling face in the
up-coming year. Thank You! I would also like to mention the fact that The
Boggy Creek Gang Camp sent a representative to this years shoot. Her name
was Terri Chastain and she presented TBOF members with a plaque to show
their appreciation for all we are doing for the kids at Boggy Creek. She
also told us that another plaque is going to be permanently placed in the
archery area at Boggy Creek to let all visitors know who we are and what
we are doing for the children of Boggy Creek and R.O.C.K. Camp. I would
like to thank Terri for the long drive she put in to attend our shoot and
for being the good sport she was by helping us take down targets at the
end of the day in the dark.
John
