HOOP SHOOT RULES

The Elks National "Hoop Shoot" Free Throw Program is open to all boys and girls, ages 8 through 13. All public and private

schools within the jurisdiction of the local Elk Lodge are invited to participate in the Elks National "Hoop Shoot" Free Throw

Contest. Depending on interest, many school districts may participate in the Lodge contest.

The six Lodge Champions, one boy and one girl in each age-group, will advance to a District contest. A typical District contes

may have from five to 12 lodge entries in each category and age-group. The six finalists in each District contest will advance

the State finals. The State Champions will compete at a Regional contest to determine the contestants that will compete at

National Finals. Your local "Hoop Shoot" Director can tell you the number of lodges and districts in your state and the states

that make up your region.

The Elks' nationwide sanctioned program gives youngsters an opportunity for spirited competition, fine relationships with th

peers, and travel statewide, regionally and nationally at minimal expense to their parents or school. The parents of finalists

the state, regional and national levels attend the competition as guests of the Elks.

The "Hoop Shoot" Contest

The "Hoop Shoot" contest is arranged in two divisions, one for boys and one for girls, in age categories 8-9, 10-11 and 12-13

Contestant age-groups are determined by their ages as of April 1.

The "Hoop Shoot" contest will be conducted in five tiers to qualify for the National Finals: the School contest, the Lodge

contest, the District contest, the State contest, and the Regional contest.

In the 8-9 boys age division, the 28.5 basketball will be used in all levels of competition.

In the 10-11 and 12-13 age divisions, a regulation-size official basketball with 7-9 lbs. of air and channels and/or seams not

exceeding 1/4 inch in width. A leather ball will be used in all state, regional and national contests.

All girls age-groups will use the girls regulation size basketball for girls with 7-9 lbs of air with channels and/or seams not to

exceed 1/4 inch in width.

Boys and girls in the 8-9 age category may shoot from a line four feet in front of the regulation foul line.

A leather ball will be used at the state, regional and national contests.

The program director in each school has the flexibility to conduct the school contest within the constraints for time and

facilities. However, the contestants will shoot for the best of 25 baskets at the Lodge contest and beyond. Ties will be broke

by a five-basket shoot-off.

Certificates may be awarded to all participants in the School contest. Contestants may receive certificates at each tier of thecontest. Trophies are awarded to the 1st- and 2nd-place winners in each boy and girl age-group at the District contest. 1st-,

2nd- and 3rd place trophies will be awarded in all age-groups at the State, Regional and National Contests. National winners

Springfield, Massachusetts.

We are in need of some service to our Lodge to make it more functional, invitingnd comfortable.

Our carpet is in need of replacing-even a good cleaning would be good for

starters

An overall good thorough cleaning is needed throughout the Lodge

Even a new paint job would be nice

lease contribute what you can to our Building Maintenance Fund. If you cannot

end a cash donation maybe you can contribute a needed item, service or some of

our time.

irst impressions speak wonders when visitors come into our Lodge. For this

eason we need to stay on top of its maintenance and cleaning.hese facilities are available to all our members and others for functions and events.

Let's keep up the pride in our Lodge, by keeping up with its upkeep.

lease mail your monetary contribution to the Lodge stating that it is for the

uilding Maintenance Fund or call to make arrangements for donations of items or

or volunteering to help with cleaning or other desired involvement.

very little bit of help would be very much appreciated.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

We are considering closing in the dining area to make it more of a smoke free

nvironment for those of you who are non smokers. The majority of members that

ome into our Lodge on a regular basis are smokers. To make the Lodge totallymoke free, would very possibly be detrimental to our Lodge at this time. So we

re trying to come up with a viable compromise.

he wall would also create a better atmosphere for families and children by

eparating the dining room from the bar area.

To accomplish this we would need supplies to build the proposed wall and to

modify our exhaust system.

Your input on this matter would be very much appreciated. Please call Brenda

reca @ 208-316-4770 with your thoughts or suggestions.

o send in donations for this project, please address your contribution to:

In Memoriam

Cont'd

Ring out the grief that saps the mind

For those that here we see no more;

Ring out the feud of rich and poor,

Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,

And ancient forms of party strife;

Ring in the nobler modes of life,

With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring out the want, the care, the sin,

The faithless coldness of the times;

Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes

But ring the fuller minstrel in.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,

The civic slander and the spite;

Ring in the love of truth and right,

Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease;

Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;

Ring out the thousand wars of old,Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Ring in the valiant man and free,

The larger heart, the kindlier hand;

Ring out the darkness of the land,

Ring in the Christ that is to be.

In Memoriamby Lord Alfred Tennyson

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,

The flying cloud, the frosty light:

The year is dying in the night;

Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,

Ring, happy bells, across the snow:

The year is going, let him go;

Ring out the false, ring in the true.

True Meaning of Christmas

My brother Ron and I were delivering Christmas Baskets this year, as we do everyyear together. This year, we had a total of 7 Christmas Baskets to be delivered as our share

of the baskets. Two of our families were not home in the morning so we set out later in the

afternoon to deliver them. The last of the two baskets we delivered went to a woman and

her son. She told us that she had lost her job and her son's hours at work had been

shortened.

After we were finished with our deliveries, Ron and I went to the Club to meet

some friends from out of town. While we were there Ron received a phone call from the

woman from our last delivery, who was in tears. She told him how grateful she and her son

were. She told him that she had only a $1.42 left on her food stamps and would not receive

any more until January. She had bought a bell pepper to have with the spaghetti she would

have been making for Christmas dinner. Now they had a real Christmas dinner.

My brother handed me the phone. Her son spoke with me and then thanked meprofusely and said how grateful they were to the Elks for providing them with a real

Christmas dinner. I told him that the Elks were glad we could help them and that when he

got on his feet again to help someone else in need. He promised to do so.

When the phone conversation was over, Ron and I agreed that that was the best

Christmas present we ever had. Knowing we had changed Christmas for someone who very

much needed it.

So, to all of you Elks who donated money and time...Thank You. Thank You for

participating in such a worthwhile cause that helped many in the Magic Valley.

The next major project on the agenda is the Hoop Shoot. This will be held at Canyon Ridge High

School in Twin Falls on January 21st

at 11:30am. Volunteers are still needed so please come out

and lend a hand.
