Greetings everyone,

Just wanted to drop a quick note about the Rendezvous before I left for Africa. I’ll go a little more in-depth later.

I don’t have final numbers yet but it looks like we had somewhere in the neighborhood of  125 shooters. We did a little over $1600 on the auction, the concessions did well, and the novelties did well. I hope everyone enjoyed the shoot, the new novelties seemed to go over well, and those spinning CD’s are tough. We may make some modifications to the turkey shoot for next year.

The “guess the score” rack didn’t have a lot of takers, but those that did guessed all over the place. The rack netted 128 even. Eric Wellman was within 3/8 of an inch to be the closest at 128 3/8. Most guesses were in the 140 to 150 range, goes to show you what a non-typical rack will do to guesses.

I’d like to thank everyone by name that helped but I’d forget someone and that wouldn’t be right. Suffice to say that the Rendezvous would not happen without all the help of the members chipping in to make it all come about. You have my heartfelt thanks. I’d like to acknowledge George Kaplan for stepping up to the plate and doing the chairman job. It’s a lot tougher job than most people realize. Thanks for what you did George.

That’s about all I’m going to bother you with for now. If you have any comments or suggestions about the Rendezvous post them on our website, we’d love to hear what we did right and what we did wrong, that way we can make it better.
  

 Keep your stick bent!
