Indoor Archery Tournament
February 18 – 21 all day
The TMA launches our largest fundraiser of the year February 18-21 providing the food service for the National Indoor Archery Championship hosted at Tantasqua Regional High School. This Olympic qualifying event will draw an estimated 3000 plus visitors to the school over the three days of competition.
The TMA is responsible for running the kitchen and running the food concessions during the tournament. This is where we need your help with food prep, cooking, serving and clean up. We have a number of different roles & responsibilities outlined on our volunteer page.
We encourage you to consider signing up for a shift and helping us raise funds to continue supporting all of the musical groups at both the Jr. and Sr. high schools.
Please contact Rom Portwood for more information
