Prois Hunting Apparel adds ‘Woman of the Week’ to website

Prois Hunting Apparel for women recently launched a new website design and added, to its lineup of extra features, a “Woman of the Week” category. Katherine Browne, Pro Staff Coordinator for Prois and member of the Women’s Outdoor Media Association, kicked off the series with Annie Oakley. We like how Prois looks back at history to see not only how far we have come, but also, how much we already knew! Kudos to Prois for not only highlighting real modern women who really hunt, but who also honor our fore”mothers” in the fields and woods and shooting ranges. Go here to see Prois’ new website.

‘Planting the Seeds of Growth’ in Charlotte a resounding success

The Women’s Outdoor Media Association – a new paradigm in outdoor communicators’ organizations that stresses the individual member and what she or he can contribute to focusing on what is being done for and about women in the outdoors – held a reception on Sat., May 15, at the Westin Charlotte Queen’s Lounge.

At last count, 25 new members will soon be approved and on the roll of the membership roster. These members include PR representatives, website communicators, bloggers, traditional journalists, a former president of the NRA and two Olympic biathletes.

Thanks to PR Team member Kim Pezzeminti, of doeville.com, who spearheaded the event and worked with the Westin to host a reception filled with croissants, pastries, brownies, Starbucks coffee and Tazo tea, lemonade, macadamia nut cookies and more. And that was just the food. Sunflowers splashed the room with color, and yes, it looked like an indoor garden party with flower arrangements, white tablecloths and floral organza accents. We celebrated women in the outdoors and what we have achieved, and what we can achieve by working together, networking and continuing to move forward as an entirely volunteer organization.

Thanks, also to our members who displayed lovely flower arrangements in ammo boxes and distributed our invitations – Otis Technology, Brownells and Próis Hunting Apparel. Thanks to LOKI, Inc., Brownells, Magnolia Defense Enterprise, Bullseye Trading Post, Marsha Petrie Sue, Doeville and Women’s Outdoor News, for contributing funding for the event.

And, as always, since a picture tells a thousand words, please click on the slide show below and you’ll get more of an idea of the 2010 NRA Exhibits and Meetings, and some of our members on and off the floor of the show. And, get ready Las Vegas … we’re coming to your town in January at the SHOT Show. Please join us there.
