As I mentioned last week, The Eastern 4-H Center hosted the 2009 Fall Shooting Sports Training...of which I and Casper (we're both Nationally certified instructors - along with Lee) successfully graduated out first group of volunteers. We had an incredible time with archery...and it was good to see volunteers wanting certifications from the EASTERN part of North Carolina, so that they can effectively run and manage their clubs.
The weather has been a little poor around here...humidity is through the rough and temperatures are in the annoying range - to warm for a jacket, but too cold for only a short sleeve shirt.
This weekend will be our 3rd annual Community Fun Day! We have loads of activities including Rock Climbing, Archery, Horseshoes, Volleyball, Putt-Putt, and Arts and Crafts...we also have games for the tiny children and the parents - Bingo!
Community Fun Day is a tricky event for me...I have to bring in staff that are trained by me (or Lee)...most of the staff are away to college to get more knowledge. Alas, many love and adore me, so they return to volunteer. They really love meeting the locals...
The weekend will be awesome - we'll also have ice cream, a weenie roast, good weather, and fall foliage, which - by the way - is the best I have ever seen it down here on the coast...Oh yeah - the whole thing won't cost you a dime to attend...but children must be accompanied by an adult...and no pets...
Most of the Center staff will be here, too - so it is a good chance to put a face with a name of the folks I like to blog about.
The Tyrrell County DU Banquet is coming soon, too - it's the weekend after this...there are only two more days to buy tickets, though - and I have some. Tickets are $40 for a single or $55 for a couple. There will be loads of auction items...and you'll probably hear the patrons talking about our Camp Canvasback program. You should only support Ducks Unlimited if you enjoy hearing geese and swans honking in the sky every autumn or enjoy seeing migratory waterfowl like ducks at Lake Mattamuskeet. Ducks Unlimited funds go to purchase conservation lands that protect not only waterfowl, but shorebirds, eagles, and alligators - as well as the wetlands, migration routes, and wintering areas (about 1/2 of the Atlantic Flyway's waterfowl winter in north Carolina) the need to survive.
Enjoy the day...
