Community Service Update

ITTHC has chosen to assist the BrokenArrow Neighbors Association (BAN) asthe focus of our Club’s on-goingcommunity service project. BAN is anonprofit organization and is celebratingits 33rd year of serving our localcommunity.

A big “thank you” to all those clubmembers who recently donated to the“Back to School Project”. If you didn’tget a chance to donate to this worthcause, we would welcome yourcontributions anytime as school suppliesare always needed throughout the entireyear.

As the season roll on, we are nowfocused on our second main project ofthe year which is our “ChristmasCollection”. Since the holiday seasonwill be arriving soon, it’s time to startthinking of how we can help others whoare less fortunate in our community.

This year like last year, we are askingclub members to donate canned goodsand/ or make money contributions to thiseffort. Any money collected will bematched by ITTHC and will be given toBAN to help with their “ChristmasBasket Distribution”. We will have a“BAN Christmas Collection Can” forthis purpose at our upcoming “Fall ClubMember Hunt” as well as at our regularOctober, November & December clubmeetings.

As a reminder, all money collected willbe matched by the ITTHC so yourmonetary contributions will result in“Double the Money” for Broken ArrowNeighbors.

Thank you for helping with this veryworthy cause and “Happy Hunting” toyou all!

Heyburn Park Outing September 18th

Bright sunshine, high temperature 91°, and cooling water, the club’s last water outing of the season toHeyburn Park on Lake Heyburn on Sunday, September 18th was a another good one. Ended up withabout as perfect a day as you could get for the middle of September in Oklahoma!

The club supplied hamburgers, hot links, hot dogs, buns, condiments, & chips. Roger Eaton againhandled the job of cooking. Good job Roger, Thank You! Thanks to John Freeman for picking up &returning to the ITTHC storage building the grill & tables.

There were 25 members standing in line to chow down on burgers, hot links, hot dogs, and foodbrought by club members. Thanks to all those bringing the outstanding side dishes and desserts. Ifyou went away hungry at this outing, again it was your own fault.

After the big feed there were scattered as evenly as possible 179 tokens in a 40 yards X 70 yardsdesignated area. There were 14 tokens for member donated prizes, and 150 tokens for Mercury Dimes,10 tokens for Silver Quarters, & 5 tokens for Silver Halves. The tokens were painted 4 color WheatCents, numbered Jefferson Nickels, two types of painted numbered brass slugs, & painted/numbered/lettered Gallagher Carbine Civil War Bullets molded using Civil War lead from fired bullets andmolded in a Gallagher bullet mold that was found at Battle of Jenkins Ferry Arkansas.

When the start signal was given there were 18 water hunters frothing the water. After 1 hour+ ofhunting there was 1 Silver Half token & 12 Mercury Dime tokens not found. A small crew went backto hunting: Lee Wierzchowski found the last Silver Half token & 4 more Mercury Dime tokens, DavidMorris found 2 more Mercury Dime tokens, Wally Dick found 1 more Mercury Dime token, and KenFanning found 1 more Mercury Dime token. And to top it off Lee Wierzchowski found 1 moreMercury Dime token in the parking lot! Huh? Really!

Member donated prizes: $5.00 donated by Charly Bohuslavicky won by David Morris. $5.00 donatedby Doris Bohuslavicky won by Sheila Carver. Coaster Set donated by Sheila Carver won by JJFreeman. 3 Mercury Dimes donated by Jean & Wally Dick won by JJ Freeman. $5.00 donated byRoger Eaton won by JJ Freeman.

JJ Freeman 7 Mercury Dimes, 1 Silver Quarter, & 3 prize tokens. John Hayworth 10Mercury Dimes & 1 Silver Quarter. Greg Wicks 8 Mercury Dimes, 1 Silver Quarter, 1 Walking

Liberty Half, & 1 prize token.

The winner of $23.00 in the 50-50 Raffle was John “JJ” Freeman.

Again, one of the main reasons for this type of outing, besides the food of course, is to give non-waterhunting members a chance to try their hand at it. Also, the fun and fellowship of being with peoplethat enjoy the same hobby.

Again, if you missed this outing, you missed a good one. Don’t miss the next one!

Gary Young reports that this was the 10th year for doing this hunt. The weatherwas super and with lots of kids. We had a good turnout from all three clubs. Therewere several metal detectors and some were even dropped off for us to use.Overall, this years hunt was a BIG success as have been the ones in the past. GaryYoung mentioned that the kids had a great time as did the adults that were there tohelp. Gary and Cathy want to thank all of you that came out and helped and asalways if you could not come you missed the fun but can do so next year.
