It is nice to finally see spelled out what TGMM is.  In the past when someone would ask these questions, they were told that the only way to find out was to join.  I would think that this thread will help drum up members and support.

Yeah. Nuts and bolts simply put. Any "dues" go to St Jude. One time deal. The rest is just the fun of getting bows and arrows and gloves and armguards into the hands of new young archers. And asking the recipients to pay it forward when outgrown.  


"Come on in boys (and girls), the water's fine."  

And you don't even have to knock off a Piggly Wiggly in Yazoo!  

I'll donate a beautiful childrens bow to you all but I don't expect anything in return. Let me know if interested and where I should send it.
God bless, Steve

Steve, I am so sorry there has been no response to your kind offer. We are always interested in getting bows to the young archers. I hadn't checked this thread lately as very busy right now and one of our members just notified me of it. I think probably the best thing would be to refer this to Mike Mecready. He makes all of our youth bows and handles the give a ways (with the help of other members). He would probably know how to best handle an "extra" and "special" gift offer like this. I will get a message off to him right away and ask him to contact you. In any case thank you so very much for your generous offer, and kind thought - Bless your heart.

There is lots of cool stuff on the Youth Bow Fund Raiser Auction. Make sure you TGMM guys check it out!!!!

I contact Sixby on his offer and worked out the details.  Thanks Steve.

Not sure it's my turn here, but, I get the sense people are interpreting that there is some fiscal funding to TGMM as a group?

There is no PAYING TO JOIN, in the real sense.  The only PAYING is that to be an active member you make a 1-time, donation to st. jude..

THEN, if and only IF you are so inclined, you can also further donate to the bow give away program here on TG.

NO money goes to administrate TGMM, no money goes to TG and it's entirely about donating to a) St. Judes Children's hospital and then b) to help get kids into archery, if you're so inclined.

No secret handshakes, or initiation...just a group of good-hearted, generous men and women dedicated to preserving the tradition with a soft spot for Kids, both life-limited and those who don't have access to archery equipment to get started.  Entry fee to this group,  is simply to donate to St. Jude.  

If that sounds too dicey, then by all means, ...choose wisely and, as you see fit!

I was a little confused what the whole deal was.  Thanks for that explanation Dave.

Our (little) auction to raise funds for our Youth Bow Program at TGMM was a success - just 5 bucks under 4,000. Not bad for a revived auction, and the biggest we've ever done. AND we did this during a period of reorganization. Thanks to all who helped make this success happen, and are supporting our reorganization. Bless you all, bless us all.    

Sounds like a bunch of bows for our Tradgang Kids!!!!!!          

A- yuh!    

The cool thing is ALL that money goes to giving away bows for kids and helps keep our Trad Gang passion alive in the generation coming up.

Interested  Trad Gangers, please keep TGMM in mind when the St. Jude's auction rolls around. Folks that care for kids and trad are always welcome at our fire. As stated before, every dollar, from minute one, goes to benefit that goal.
