1 CEDAR RIVER BOWMEN NEWSLETTER MAY 2015 BOWNANZA We need your help to make Bownanza a success! It is that time of the year again we are rapidly approaching BOWNANZA. That wonderful time of the year when the grounds at your archery club turn into a playground for archers. There will be lots of opportunities for all club members to help out, such as shirt sales, cook shack, novelty shoots, set up and take down. However, right now, we are focused on obtaining prize donations to ensure that our 2015 BOWNANZA lives up to its reputation. Your help in soliciting would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that the items do not need to be archery related. Gift certificates to local restaurants, tickets to sporting events, or movie tickets are all acceptable. Maybe you are a small business owner or have contacts, friends or family that you can reach out to. Think outside the box and be creative. For example one of the items we raffled last year was a lace leaf maple tree. If you need a copy of our Bownanza Donation request letter please contact Diane Daniels at enumclawdi@msn.com or myself Tom Daniels at roscoedaniels@msn.com If you are interested in volunteering please contact us as well. Thank you in advance for your help! Tom Daniels SUMMER LEAGUE Here s an opportunity to meet, socialize and shoot with fellow CRB members! The Cedar River Bowmen outdoor Summer League is underway! Meet each Tuesday at 6:00pm at the flat range. Each week we will shoot a different course alternating between marked and unmarked yardages. To keep things simple we ll do an alphabetical rotation A B C D. Rule of thumb: if it is a cloudy day try to start before 6:00pm as it gets dark quicker under the tree canopy. League shooting will be every Tue evening until August 11, There are score cards and a Summer League course schedule posted at the flat range.
