Thanks for getting this posted Jeff.

It is that time again for our annual banquet. We have some great trips and items this year for the auction. The money we raise helps to fund our youth archery program which touches hundreds of kids each year and gets a bow and arrow in thier hands, many for the very first time. For some, this lights the archery fire that keeps our traditional ways alive for years to come.

This year we will have to continue with the auctions as we did last year. The bag raffles that we all enjoy are not an option this year as we continue to try to correct the issues with our tax exempt status. We are making progress and I will provide an update at the banquet as to where we stand and answer any questions regarding the situation.

If you can help us out with any donations for the auctions, door prize give aways or something to give away to the kids who attend, it would be greatly appreciated. You can post the details here or get with myself, Jeff or a zone rep and we will make arrangements to get your item to the banquet.

As Jeff stated we will conduct our yearly business meeting and discuss the year to come. Our zone reps will be providing the details of our upcoming hunts.

It is a good time, with good folks and great fellowship. Come on out and meet some new people. You might even find a new hunting opportunity or two. If you are not a member yet or are just starting the traditional journey , don't let that stop you. Come visit with us and see what we do.

If you are a TBG member, please come and be a part of the banquet. It is your club...

Thanks,

Lee Camp
TBG President

It was a good time. Got to meet lots of folks I had not met in person before. It was an excellent venue and the officers did a great job all around.

And really great pictures Tomi, as usual.

Thank you to Melvin Edwards for another printing of the TBG Book! Melvin got with the publisher, fronted the money and made this happen.

After deducting a few meager expenses, we raised right at $2750.00 for our club.

Thanks everyone! PLease know these funds will be used meagerly, frugally, and wisely.
