Fw: NOAH Board Meeting Invite

Everyone,   Please see the following important information for the future of the NOAH program. Please prayerfully consider attending this meeting.  Remember this is your opportunity to voice your opinion and direct your home school.  "Do NOT complain about program changes if you do not take the time to attend and participate when you have the opportunity to do so."   Do you know how charter schools, private schools, the K12 online schools could affect your home school?   Is NOAH a club, a business, or a ministry?   Is NOAH an unapologetically Christian organization or just another athletic program?       Let your voice be heard! Stacy     NOAH Parents,   I hope the 2011-12 school year is going well for everyone. Whether you are wrapping up, in the middle of, or preparing for your season We pray that this season is the most God glorifying NOAH season ever!   The NOAH Board would like to invite any parents interested to attend this months board meeting which will be held on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:30pm at East Bible Chapel located at 1215 South 135th East Avenue.    The topic the NOAH board requests your input on is.....DEFINING NOAH ELIGIBILITY.   With the landscape of homeschooling broadening all around us, it is imperative that we prayerfully set the course for the near future of NOAH athletics regarding some foundational questions. As players, parents, coaches, Athletic Directors and Board Members we are all being ask on an increasing basis "Who can play for NOAH?", "How do we define Homeschooling?" "Who does NOAH serve?" even........"What is the purpose of NOAH?"   Homeschool organizations across the country are working through the same issues. Decisions on how to define homeschooling for eligibility purposes are varied, ranging from a simple question being ask of each family such as "Do you homeschool 51% of the time?" to a more detailed look at how, when and where a family educates are being used to determine eligibility. As you all know there are many more homeschooling options today for a family to consider then when NOAH was formed a dozen years ago. We all have kids involved in or families coming to us with questions regarding NOAH eligibility of student athletes that are being educated from home via online courses in both public, private and charter programs, some part time others full time. The same is to be said regarding Tutorial Centers and Co-Ops. The trend around us seems to be only broadening so the need for us to set the course is at a all time high.   If you are interested in attending, please mark your calendars, make arrangements and come with your thoughts ready to be expressed on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:30pm at East Bible Chapel located on 1215 South 135th East Avenue. The Board greatly values and needs your input, guidance and prayers!     Fred Sabatini NOAH Board President 918-607-0549

Fwd: NRA Range Safety Officer course

TO:  NRA Shotgun Instructors RE:  NRA Range Safety Officer Training, Saturday, August 6, 2011 We still have a few openings left for the NRA Range Safety Officer course, that will be held on Saturday, August 6, 2011.  Scouters attending this course do NOT have to be an NRA Instructor. As you know, the 2011 Guide to Safe Scouting requires a NRA (discipline specific) Instructor and a NRA Range Safety Officer for each discipline specific (Rifle, Shotgun, Muzzleloading Rifle, and for Venturers only - Pistol) shooting activity. If you have more than one shooting activity running simultaneously (for example, Rifle and Shotgun), you will need a NRA Range Safety Officer for each range. Currently we have scouters registered for the NRA Range Safety Officer course from the following units: Unit # - # scouters registered Troop 80 - 4 Troop 412 - 1 Troop 44 - 1 Troop 185 - 1 Troop 234 - 1 Troop 214 - 4 Troop 8 - 1 Please promote this traininig in your units.  This is the last NRA RSO course for 2011. The deadline for registration is August 3rd, or until the maximum number or participants is registered.  I have attached the registration form or registration is available online at this link http://www.okscouts.org/2011/05/nra-range-safety-officer-course/ Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. Thanks, Denise and Larry

We shot 2 varsity squads (3 per squad) this year. Squads were based on average performance during official Saturday practices throughout the season. Our A squad won 1st place. Our B squad won 2nd place. We shot 4 sets of 25 targets totaling 100 targets. Squad A's scores(hits): Daniel Terril - 80 Isreal Terril - 82 Aiden Mounts - 61 Top shooter was Isreal Terril, his best round was a 23 (out of 25). Squad B's scores: Jake Simpson - 74 Andrew Dix - 55 Emily Heath - 56 Top shooter was Jake Simpson, his best round was a 19 (out of 25).   We will be taking July off but will resume with practices in August.  We are planning to offer shooting opportunities and safety training, as well as some fun fundraising opportunities for our NOAH families.  We are looking forward to another great year and the opportunity to grow our shooting program. Sincere thanks to our dedicated coach, Kyle Heath, and the wonderful volunteer parents we have! Have a great summer! See you soon!   Happy shooting! Stacy

email list

I will be "cleaning up" the email loop. If you wish to no longer receive emails about shooting please email me back with "remove" in the subject line.  I will then delete you from my list.  I will be switching lists and regrouping the list at the end of June.  I will also be using the blog for general shooting info but I will be breaking the email list up by disciplines for simplicity and informational purposes.    If you are subscribed to the blog...this will not effect you at this time.   Thank you, Stacy

state shoot

Reminder of our state shoot this coming weekend the 11th!  Be at the gun club no later than 8:15.  If your not shooting BUT are interested this would be a good time to see the kids shoot and support the team.  Be sure to wear your "jag wear" and come support our shooting squads!     Stacy

update

Our SCTP state shoot for skeet is coming up on June 11th at the Tulsa Gun Club.  We will have 2 squads competing. We are excited about the progress they are making and looking forward to our NOAH kids doing well!   We are practicing each week on Saturday mornings at 10:30am at the Tulsa Gun Club. After our state shoot we are looking at some other opportunities for the kids to keep shooting.  We are also working on providing a "gun safety training"  for new shooters and volunteers.  This will most likely be held late summer/early fall.  More details to come...   We have been very blessed and would like to thank the NRA for their support for our program!  Because of their generosity, our students are having their ammunition provided each week.  That is a savings of about $15 per week/ per student!  THANK YOU to the NRA!!! Keep shooting!   Stacy
