It is hard to comprehend the continuous outpouring of support this community has for the archery program at OCS. We will once again be representing New Jersey as Middle School State Champions at the National Tournament next week in Louisville, KY. The success of this program relies on many factors, one of the most important begin the support from the community. Groups and individuals from throughout Oxford,Warren County, and New Jersey have stepped up to offer their help.
The Oxford Emergency Squad, Resuce 39 dedicated an entire day to raising funds for the team, by collecting donations from cars at the intersection of 31 and 46. The OVFD offered their building to host a Jazz Night. Parents offered to put on a concert, food was donated, personal dontaions, sporting groups, T-shirt sales, flowers, a community shoot are just some of the events people have organized to help the team. There are so many Thank You's to offer, and I am aftraid to leave any one out.
Every year the community has allowed me to focus on instructing and coaching the archery team instead of fund-raising. It is truly an honor to coach these fine youg ladies and gentlemen. I know the team will represent Oxford, Warren County and New Jersey with pride at the National Tournament.
