North Carolina Handicapped
Sportsmen, Inc. (NCHS) is a nonprofit organization of handicapped and
able-bodied individuals. Its purpose is to promote friendship, fellowship,
mutual understanding and cooperation among handicapped people and
able-bodied associates by encouraging them to participate in outdoor
recreation.
Special events will be
scheduled, organized and conducted by both handicapped and able-bodied
members of this organization. NCHS will work closely with the North
Carolina Wildlife Recourses Commission (NCWRC) and other interested
organizations to promote and support these special events. Events will
include but are not limited to special hunting, fishing and shooting
events.
While social and
recreational activities centered on these sporting events are encouraged, we
do not claim in any way to provide a professional level of medical or
rehabilitative care to the participants. Participants will be required to
sign a waiver of liability for any events sponsored by NCHS.
To further our cause, NCHS
will work closely with the NCWRC and other governing bodies to ensure that
new facilities meet ADA standards and existing facilities be made as
accessible as possible.
There are many individuals
whose quality of life can be enriched by our organization. NCHS will reach
out to individuals via website, special events, outdoor expos and
appropriate media coverage. New membership is encouraged to ensure the
continuing productivity of our organization and help further our ability to
promote outdoor recreation for handicapped individuals in North Carolina.
