As usual, PAL volunteers and staff have been extremely busy! To include accounts about all they’re doing would double the size of our newsletter. Safe to say that all of their activities, projects and programs have a positive impact on kids while working toward their goals of kids having fun while guiding them to the path of good lifestyles, and becoming good citizens; while fostering a positive relationship between our youth and the police.
Some of their activities include:
Sam Arendec donated his services teaching the novice archers.
Straight Shooter Archery session was held on a beautiful summer day at in the Cleveland Metroparks’ Albion Millstream Reservation in Strongsville, OH. Twenty youngsters, five adult chaperones, and two police officers had a great time learning a new skill and outdoor activity. Sincere thanks to the Crooked River Archery Club, which co-sponsored the event and provided all the equipment and instruction, along with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources – Division of Wildlife. Special thanks to Sam Arendec who volunteered his time as coach and instructor. Editor’s Note: PAL is hoping to make this an ongoing program and is looking for a [donated] facility to install an indoor archery range so it can offer the sport all year.
