Summer 2010
Greetings from PF’s #1 youth membership chapter in Indiana—even bigger than Indianapolis!
We hope this newsletter finds all of you in good health and ready for fun & work for our local chapter of PF! The following is a summary of our chapter’s meetings, events, etc. since our last letter.
In March, we got in early start of choosing guns for our 15th annual banquet which will be held 9/11/10! In all, we ordered 10 guns for this event and will add more in the future. I do believe one has YOUR name on it!
In April we decided that Steve Carson would give a presentation to the Kiwanis at one of their morning meetings giving them a general idea as to what we are about.
On April 24th we held our 3rd annual adult fun shot! In all, 40+ Adults showed up for this fun event. A fine lunch was prepared by Dean Anderson and a fun day was had by all!
We decided to purchase a 4’ x 21” large check for photo presentations for when we make donations throughout the year.
Tish Galloway stepped up and bought our chapter a 50-cup coffee maker, plus is purchasing a youth Fanthom 20 GA for a banquet prize! Thanks Tish! We are always looking for donated items for the banquet. If you can donate anything that can be used as a prize please let us know.
A big THANK YOU goes out to Chet Zorn, owner of the Lighthouse Café & Pizzeria in North Webster! They donated the profit from their annual Easter Basket Raffles to our chapter which amounted to $253.00! THANKS CHET!
We decided to give the 4H shooting sports $130.00 towards the purchase of ammo for their target shooting booth at the county fair.
In May we again discussed the possibility of having a Tippe River Chapter of PF scholarship for a deserving local youth. Based on Steve Jones’ research, we decided that there were too many ground rules to do so. Life & giving used to be so simple, but not anymore!
The June & July meetings were basically devoted to banquet decisions, which are many. (What guns & other prizes—What games—who does what—etc.) We did decide that our dinner will be catered by Pork Brothers. The meal will consist of barbecued chicken & pulled pork and all the trimmings!
On a sad note, Steve Carson’s father passed away in May. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their entire family.
Bryan Nugent, our chapter treasurer for the past several years, and his family, will soon be moving to Iowa. He and his family will be missed greatly! He and wife Windy played a big role in our chapter’s growth and success!
PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO ATTEND OUR ANNUAL BANQUET SATURDAY 9/11/10!
It’s what provides the money we need to do all the projects & activities we underwrite throughout the year in OUR COMMUNITY! I’ve enclosed a form to make it simple for you to purchase tickets. Just fill it out and return to me – I’ll do the rest!
• And now a few words from our Chapter President & Youth Program Director, Steve Carson!
Well, it’s that time of year again!! We are gearing up for our 2010 ANNUAL BANQUET. Hope to see all of you there again this year and any of your friends or family that would be interested.
This year is our 15th year as a chapter. This is our biggest event and it is how we pay for all the youth activities that we hold throughout the year and how we support other local groups in our community.
Since this year’s banquet is going to be at the new, larger facility we are able to have more new games and more prizes! As we all know, if the younger generation doesn’t get a chance to experience the outdoors through us, or other local outdoor groups, they may lose their rights to get that chance in the future.
I would like to take this time to thank everyone that is a supporter of PF! Without you our organization would not survive. We could really use more help with all of the events we sponsor!

Steve Carson
