Stop by the Orange High School gym on Saturday morning between 8 am and noon to help with the Orange Elks Lodge "Hoop Shoot" Free Throw Contest.
(There just might be complimentary donuts and coffee for volunteers.)
Hoop Shoot Participants: The Elks Free Throw Program is open to all boys and girls, ages 8 through 13 (as of 04/01/2012). There will be a raffle for prizes.
Elks Volunteers: We will need Elks members to help keep score, shag balls, and encourage the free throw shooters.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact our lodge's Hoop Shoot Chairwoman Brenda Nailon or Loyal Knight Colin Smith.

From the millions of youngsters who participate and advance through local, district, state and regional competition, six national champions are named — one boy and one girl in each of three categories: ages 8-9, 10-11 and 12-13. The winners each receive a trophy and their names are inscribed on a plaque at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The annual Orange Elks Hoop Shoot was a success.
The theme this year was “Shooting for a Drug Free America”!
The contestants were checked in.
The free throws were judged and counted
