Hello Oranco club members,
Hope all of you are well and enjoying our cool weather. I want to take a moment to thank all those who came out this past Saturday to help with the San Bernardino County Parks and Recreation Festival held at Prado Regional Park. We had a total of 13 volunteers including myself. It was a fun day for the many kids and parents that attended this event. There were a lot of vendors who came to support this event and share their specialties as we did ours. I couldn't help to note how busy we were compared to all the others who had come to support us as we did. The county director came over to thank us at the end of the day and wanted to share that we were the top draw of the day with so many people till her that their kids love shooting our bows. I must say that from my view that’s how I saw it as well. So to all of our volunteers who work there, but off thank you thank you for giving of your time and bits of patience with all those kids. I’m sure as ambassadors to archery our mission was a big success.
Now most of you have read my thank you letter to those who came to our banquet. I would like to share it with all of you and hope if you have never been to our banquet that you will try and put it on your schedule next year.
Good evening Oranco Bowmen,
I would like to thank all of you that were able to make our banquet last night. What a night we had we were able to celebrate Bill Leal's 90th birthday and was given a lifetime award for his long time service and contributions to Oranco Bowmen. It's people like Bill Leal who I call foundational members who have been part of our club for over forty years and done so much to help grow and develop our 5-Star range. We thank you Bill and wish you continued good health. We also celebrated our awards to our members for outstanding service and archery accomplishments. Two of our most prestigious awards were given out last night Herry Poteet and Richard Snyder with Mark Houston receiving the Richard Snyder award and the Herry Poteet award going to Steve Baker. Thank you guys for your dedication and hard work. I would also like to thank our sponsors, Willow Creek Archery, Turner's outdoorsman and Victory Arrows who helped us make our raffle a big success Saturday evening. Thank you guys. If I could also thank our board members and members who came out and helped to set up our banquet and take down Thank you. This year we had a very nice talented singer Tatiana Raines who did a great job with the music and songs that she played for our evening event. Thank you I had a lot of members come to me and loved having you entertain us.
Last but not least Richard Jones food service was outstanding as always our members enjoyed the chuckwagon style food. I would also like to thank my wonderful wife Suzy for making our cakes as always a big hit. I love that Ultrawoman. Enclosing Great evening and I hope you all that were there enjoyed it as much as I did!
Thank you
