Today, January 27th, marks the actual 50th Anniversary of the Pope and Young Club.
It was on this day in 1961, that Glenn St. Charles, Rosalyn Remick Malinoski, Bill Brown, Wayne Hathaway, Jesse Rust and G. H. Malinoski, sitting around a table in Glenn's Northwest Archery Company store, officially called the Pope and Young Club into existence. Papers had been filed, a Board was being formed and Articles of Incorporation prepared.
Many years of creating a program to prove the effectiveness of the bow and arrow, and to improve the image of the bowhunter, had come to fruition--a membership-based organization carrying out those missions.
In our own individual ways, today would be an appropriate day to spend a moment recognizing the significance of this moment in bowhunting's history and heritage, and its impact (and the resulting opportunities we have) on our own cherished bowhunting lifestyle.
Today officially kicks off a year of special ways the Pope and Young Club is recognizing this 50th Anniversary milestone.
Happy 50th-- I hope in the next 50 [those that are still here]we can still recognize it for what it was founded- it's changed so much ... I have been there since '76
Happy Birthday!!!
