CRAC Casino

As you all know, CRAC is having a fundraising Casino on March 29 and 30th of this year.  We still need 4 more people to fill the basic shifts, plus 4 alternates!  Please volunteer yourself and your friends (they are more than welcome to help out) for this event. Meals and snacks will be provided for all volunteers, as well as training prior to your shift.  No prior experience is necessary!

In order to successfully run this casino, we need a minimum of 40 volunteers.  With a membership of approximately 150 people, this should NOT be a problem.  To date, only 29 people have volunteered their time. The money we receive from the casino will enable us to pay our rent, buy new equipment, and generally improve the archery experience for all members.  Shifts are approximately 8 hours each, and one shift will fulfill your volunteer commitment to the club for the entire year!  Come out and have some fun, and get to know your fellow archers (or archers’ parents)!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Kitt Sampley.

Thank you to all who have volunteered to help with the casino!  Kitt will be emailing all of you soon to confirm shift dates and times, and make sure she has forms for everyone.

UPDATE:  Thanks to a recent surge of volunteers, we now have enough people to cover all the casino shifts!  The success of this event depends on each volunteer showing up for his or her shift, so please mark it on your calendars.  The money we receive from the casino will enable us to pay our rent, buy new equipment, and generally improve the archery experience for all members.  A schedule has been emailed to the volunteers, and there are even a few extra people to serve as alternates.  If anyone else would like to volunteer, it’s always good to have more alternates in case someone can’t make it at the last minute.  We look forward to seeing everyone at the casino in March!

Casino March 29 & 30

The casino is coming up soon, and all the paperwork has to be submitted in the next couple of weeks. Kitt needs 12 more people to fill the basic shifts, plus 4 alternates. This is a crucial event for our club, as it will be a major source of income. Since this is our first casino, we want to make sure that everything runs smoothly, which means having enough volunteers to fill all the positions. Please contact Kitt ASAP if you are able to work a shift, or be an alternate in case someone else is unable to fulfill his or her commitment.

No previous experience is required for volunteers. We work with casino advisors who are there during the casino, and provide training before each shift begins. It is a fun way to spend time with a spouse or a friend. Meals and snacks are provided for all workers. One casino shift will complete your volunteer commitment to the club for the entire year! Don’t let this major fundraising event fail due to a lack of volunteers!

Thank you to all who have volunteered to help with the casino! Kitt will be emailing all of you soon to confirm shift dates and times, and make sure she has forms for everyone.

Work Party Sat. Jan 14: Turning Archery Butts

Happy New Year CRAC members! Some of you may have noticed that the butts are getting soft and bulging out. To ensure that all of our archers have the optimal shooting experience (especially with so many exciting events coming up in February and March!) we’re having a work party after the 10:30 class on Saturday to turn the butts. If enough members can stick around or come to help we can get this done in less than an hour. So if you’re interested in seeing how we maintain the range and playing with power tools we’ll see you on Saturday after the 10:30 class is over.

If anyone has cordless drills at home we’d be delighted if you could bring them so we can work on more than 1 butt at a time. Then things will go even faster!
