One Arrow at a Time!:
We are very excited to begin the second stage of creating an archery program at OCCS. We have recently been awarded a grant from the DNR which will allow us to purchase 12 genesis bows, 5 Morrell targets, Easton arrows, and a drop curtain. We are also in the process of scheduling a training day in which the DNR will send a trainer and we will have certified basic archery instructors. Following that step we hope to order additional equipment by April 30th with the hope that classes and after school sessions will start this fall.
Our goal is that every child from 4th-8th has the opportunity to participate in an organized sport that promotes “Christ in all”. We feel this can be done through concentration, focus, patience, discipline, self-control and team cohesion.
We are over joyed with all the positive responses and are preparing for a larger number of students. Therefore, we are looking for a total of 20 bows, 10 targets along with additional arrows. There will also be additional needs such as school jerseys, banners, bow racks, arrow quivers, fletching tools, etc. With the beginning of a new program we are looking at a onetime starting amount of around $5000.00.
We would be very excited if you would consider a contribution at any of the four levels:
Needed:
Level I Arrow level $3.85/per arrow 10 dozen@$3.85 $462.00
Level II Bow level $122.00/per bow 20 bows@$122.00 $2440.00
Level III Target level $166.00/per target 10 targets@$166.00 $1660.00
Level IIII Arrow curtain $600.00/per curtain 1 curtain @$600.00 $600.00
It is our hope that this program will bring joy and a sense of accomplishment to our students through “one arrow at a time”. If you have been blessed, and are able to contribute, all you need to do is write the donation to OCCS and it will be placed in a separate account.
Thank you again for your prayers and support as a new program gets underway.
Sincerely,
OCCS Archery Club
