Wanted to mention that the KY. hunting club that I manage is part of a huge effort to run a BIG youth hunt (60 kids or so) event this coming Oct. This is going to be a special event and hope to make it an annual one at that.
The hunt is going to service dependents and relatives of Wounded Warriors, from Ky. or otherwise. Our club is located close to Ft. Knox and within driving distance of Ft. Campbell, Ky., both have Army hospitals and take care of a lot of wounded personel. We've been told that we'll have at least 60 youngsters to take hunting.
We've got a rental agreement with a YMCA camp near our location to house everyone for the weekend and to use as a base camp. My club manager and one of the cooks that worked with our Indiana youth hunt is basicly in charge of this event.
We have several sponsors on board, including QDMA and a local branch near our club. We also have a large defense contractor that is sending us a sizeable check and looking to recruit a few more $$ donors. Those moneys will be use for the camp rent and food for the crew. All mentors and helpers are strictly volunteers.
Anyway, I know Indiana has seen lots of NG and Army involvement recently, so if any of you have friends or relatives that might have contact with a WW...let them know about this event or contact me for more info. we'll most likely purchase the need license and tags and make this a 'no cost' event
also, we open to accepting freebies and anything to help make this event an annual success.
