 Mike
Alexander
President
Mike has been a Flint Bowmen
member for over 17 years. He's been our President
since 2005. In his seventeen+
years as a member, Mike has also been Bowhunter Coordinator,
Vice President, and Rules Coordinator. Mike fell in love
with the Flint Bowmen
Club when a neighbor brought him
here for the first time to shoot
someplace other than his back yard. He
was hooked immediately. Mike and his three sons spent
many hours shooting together as the boys
grew up around Flint Bowmen.
Mike founded the Flint Bowmen’s Kids’
League which has taught well over
a thousand kids to shoot a bow. Mike is a very active
hunter as well as a novice target
shooter and a guy who just wants to keep Flint Bowmen a fun
place to shoot a bow. None of Mike’s dedication to Flint
Bowmen would be possible without the incredible support of
his amazing wife, Maggie. |

 Dennis
Templeton
Vice President
I have been married to the same wonderful woman,
Jacquie, for 38 years. We have three grown sons, Nathan,
Ryan and Justin. I feel
lucky that my sons still live in the area and share many of
my hobbies with me. We are blessed with four grandchildren.
I really enjoy trying to hit what I am
aiming at, doesn’t matter if it is with a bow, rifle,
muzzleloader, shotgun or pistol. In 2003 I wanted to get
back into archery after a five year layoff. I checked out
Flint Bowmen, liked what I saw and joined.
At Flint Bowmen I participate in
outdoor target, Field and Hunter, indoor target and 3-D. For
the last 3 years or so I have been
participating in the S.V.A.A. shoots. If you haven’t tried
them yet, you should.
I am a bowhunter and a gun hunter. If
it is in season, I’m probably hunting it. When not hunting,
fishing, shooting my bow, shooting skeet or sporting clays,
you can probably find me riding my Harley. It is a 1985 FLHT
with about 250 thousand miles on it and running strong.

Laurie LaLonde
Secretary
Laurie has been a member since 1997. Her parents had
been very active members since 1983 so it was very natural
for Laurie to follow. Laurie has been Secretary since 2000.
She does a fantastic job of recording the minutes from all
of our monthly meeting. Laurie does not shoot very much any
more due to her busy life. Laurie is very busy with a number
of groups such as the American Legion Auxiliary and a
Medieval history group.
Laurie can be seen running the bake sale at the Fall Shoot
each year and it is not uncommon for her to come out on
workdays and put in a few hours of Club House cleaning.
Laurie will pitch in when ever her schedule permits to help
Flint Bowmen whenever she can. |

 Juli
Campbell
Assistant Kitchen Coordinator
Juli was introduced to the Flint Bowmen by
her son Donald. In 2008 Donald had the pleasure of shooting
The Flint Bowmen’s fall shoot and asked his mom if she would
bring him back for the Hick’s shoot. That is when they
learned about the Kid’s league. Donald was introduced to
Mark Salsgiver the JOAD coach while shooting the kid’s
league. Donald then joined JOAD and they became members of
the Flint Bowmen. At that time Juli was not shooting. After
taking her son hunting she decided to start shooting. Juli
has only been shooting for about a year. Donald and Juli
enjoy taking part in the different tournaments. Juli is the
proud mother of two sons. Her other son is Malcolm who is a
senior at Western Michigan University. This will be Juli’s
second year as FBIYC Coordinator. The FBIYC board and Juli
are making many exciting plans for the kids at the club.
Juli is looking forward to
working with the many wonderful families at Flint Bowmen.
Juli and her family have met so many interesting people
through the Flint Bowmen and have developed many great
friendships.

Trish was first introduced to Flint Bowmen back in
the 80's by the Rensberry family while dating her future
husband Scott Rensberry, but didn't touch a bow until 1994
and then did better aerating the lawn than hitting the
target. Since then she has gotten better, but don't stand
too close.Scott, Trish, and
their 3 girls joined the Flint Bowmen family sometime around
2000. Scott & Trish shared Bow Hunter Coordinator duties in
2003 and 2004. In 2005, with a lot of support from the Flint
Bowmen Family, Trish continued on as Bow Hunter Coordinator,
while Scott was serving his country in Iraq.
In 2006 Trish became the FBIYC
coordinator. She then took some time off and in 2009 decided
to come back onto the board as our Public Relations
Coordinator and is currently our Rules Coordinator. Scott and Trish are also grandparents to a

 Tom
Sanders
Webmaster
(Not a board position)
Tom has been a member of Flint Bowmen Club since some time
in the early 1990s (?). He and his brother Mike joined a
league and then attended a Fall Shoot. After that, it was
only a matter of time before they both became members.Tom has served on the board in the
past and now takes care of the website for the club. Tom is
probably best known at the club for being the original
recipient of the coveted "Hay Bale" Award. But that's a
completely different story all it's own.
"I've been
away from hunting, and the club, for a number of years now
and I'm pretty excited to get back into it. I've missed it
more than I ever would have imagined. In the past, my wife
Charlene and I have made some great memories and some
incredible friendships through the Flint Bowmen Club. I'm
anxious to share this whole "club experience" with my
teenage daughters. It's just good to be back"
