Eastern Hills Rod, Gun, Conservation Club- Sporting Women

Eastern Hills Rod, Gun & Conservation Club held their 9th annual SPORTING WOMEN event on July 14, 2012 in Batavia, Ohio. This annual event is based on a "workshop" format with over eighteen distinct outdoor venues available to participants. This year's workshops included classes on many disciplines including rifle, shotgun, and pistol from the shooting sports. In addition, classes were taught involving archery, kayaking, self defense, gold panning and outdoor survival to name a few.

Each year this event averages over one hundred participants with fifty or more instructors to facilitate a ratio of two students per instructor. This philosophy enables the participants to experience "success" quickly regarding their chosen classes and in turn leads to a sense of empowerment and higher self esteem for each individual ensuring the goal of the event is accomplished. We also have a silent auction each year with the proceeds being donated (in the form of Kroger gift cards) to widows of WWII veterans, in Clermont County. This year we raised over $1600 .
