FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT VISTS THE LONGRIFLES

Joomart "Jooma" Mirbekovich Aitakunov of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, enjoyed an afternoon with the Jefferson County Longrifles on Sunday, April 18th, spending his time doing his best imitation of an American Colonial. Jooma also had a lot of fun shooting muzzleloaders, and did well in his first tries with the rifles.

He also really enjoyed learning to start a fire with flint and steel, and even though he'd completed his stage of the competition, he wanted to keep getting better at it and tried it several more times.

When he returns home to Kyrgyzstan in June, we hope he will be taking a bit of Jefferson County culture with him.

Jooma is here in the USA as a Rotary Exchange Student, and is hosted by the Emporium Rotary Club and Rotary Member Ron Luckenbill, who is a member of the Longrifles.

  2. Remember that the interviewer is probably as nervous as you are. Interviewers are ordinary people who face the same personal issues that you do. Try to imagine the interviewer as being your neighbor cutting the grass on Saturday morning - or getting groceries at the store. recruitment agencies brisbane
