Volunteers Needed At The Sporting Clays Tournament!

14th Annual Sporting Clays Tournament
Friday August 13, 2010
Hunters Creek Club
675 E Sutton Rd, Metamora, MI

We are looking for Scouts at least 13 years old that are interested in the shotgun shooting sports to volunteer to support this important fund raising event for Tall Pine Council. It will be a full day. We need Scouts to arrive from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM and stay until 6:15 PM. Lunch and dinner will be provided for all volunteers. The Scouts are needed to pull targets and to keep score for the shooters on the course, but they will also help with traffic control/direction and preparation before the start of the event. This is a good opportunity to support our Council, earn service hours and have a great time doing it.

If you would like more information or are interested in volunteering for this event, please contact:
