Former Bedford Student Needs Your Help

[old school]

An E-mail I received from Dan Ault (BHS class of 2004)
Dan is a member of the Xavier Rifle team.



To the Rifle Community or others:

As many as you know and perhaps some who do not, Xavier University has
announced
it will cease its sponsorship of rifle after this season.

A petition has been created to express our support of the team and ask
Xavier to
reconsider its decision to drop rifle.

The petition can be found at:
http://www.petitiononline.com/XURifle/petition.html

Beyond signing the petition we ask that letters and emails be written
to the
below people.
Needless to say is that the future health of NCAA rifle depends on our
ability
to fight these decisions. At this time we are unsure of what action,
if
any,
Xavier would require to save the program. We intend to make our voices
heard
and will need the help of the rifle community to show Xavier the value
in
continuing to sponsor rifle. As always the letters/emails you write
represent the sport, please be respectful and polite in any
correspondence.
We appreciate and thank you many times over for
whatever support you are able to provide. Please distribute this email
to
as
many people as possible. Thank you to those who have provided me with
email
contacts. Get those letters going!
