MAY 2012

OEMM May 2012 Newsletter


















Spring Shoot was a BLAST. We had a record number of shooters. I think our most “seasoned shooter” was 90 years young. Debbie Ashby’s mom was a trooper out there with all that black powder.



In May we will be participating in Smithfield Days. The parade is on May 12th. We will be joining the Smithfield Fire department for the pancake breakfast. Bring your money and enjoy a breakfast. Then head over to our float and help assemble it. We will be passing out our fliers for the rendezvous.



Club set up will be May 12th after the parade (around 2pm). Don’t think you are being smart by skipping the parade and heading up the canyon early. The booshway and segundo’s will be taking down things that are reserving spots prior to them opening up the site.



Plan on helping out with different activities while you enjoy the Rendezvous. This is YOUR club putting on the event. Make sure you help out so it is a huge success. If you don’t sign up to help you will be assigned a time to help.





See you all in May! Upcoming Events: May- RENDEZVOUS

We will shoot our guns to start the race in our mountain men

clothes. You need to be heading up Black Smith Fork at 6:00am

or earlier (they will close the canyon).

Plan on being stuck up the canyon for a few hours after the race

begins.

Remember, Your dues were due in July. I have gotten them from

some of you. If you were not at the July meeting then you

probably didn’t pay them. We are going to hold the Christmas

party this year based on “Members in Good Standing”. If you

have not been to 50% of the meetings from June to December and

you have not paid your dues you won’t have an invitation to the

party. This is how we are planning on rewarding those members

who come to each months activities and support the club. If you

have a question about your attendance or your dues being paid

please email me at oemmclub@hotmail.com

Doug has been planning with the heritage center for a great

October party. This will be a good celebration for the kids. Mark

your calendars and plan on being at the meeting in October. We

Heritage center.
