The History of the Bergen Bowmen Bulletin....
Along about 1956 the club membership saw a need for communication to our
growing membership.
A monthly newsletter was decided upon, but the means to print it was up
in the air. An approach was made to someone from DITTO, INC. from Lodi as to the availability of a used duplicating
machine.
It was not but a few weeks later that Len Hill, the manager of DITTO,
came through with a used machine, paper, duplicating fluid and stationary for the club. Within a year the DITTO property
became available for use as our outdoor shooting range, all through the graces of Len Hill and DITTO.
Harry Kuhles was the orginal editor of the Bergen Bowmen Bulletin from
it's inception untill 1960. Hank Johnson took over the editorship until 1964, when Harry took it over again. Al Sabino was
editor from 1975 until 1994 when Kathrine Bombace took over for a brief few months and had to turn the editorship over
to Jack Spoto. Jack turned out the bulletin until July of 1999 at which point it was published by Joann Mills for a
few months before returning to Kathrine Bombace Surlak in 2000. Kathrine has been editor ever since.
Our Newsletter, the Bergen Bowmen Bulletin is a life
line that keeps the members informed as to what is happening at the monthly meetings, in our state and in the country.
Input is always welcomed from our members and many members have contributed articles over the years. The Bulletin was
only available to club members through the mail and just recently (Nov. 2004) through email delivery.
