Friends of the NRA Banquet Nov 13 KBay
« on: September 06, 2016, 09:34:13 PM »
I'm checking for interest in attending this event and getting a 10 person table (don't buy tickets yet) and I need a headcount by September 20th as this sells out quickly.

This is a fundraiser for the Friends of the NRA who are the major supporter high school air rifle teams and help with the overall shooting community. $55 per person pays for a very good buffet dinner. The kids volunteer to help out at the event which hosts awards presentations, guest speakers, and prize drawings. You can donate money for a large variety of raffles and auctions for handguns, rifles, hunting equipment, accessories, 2a related art and memorabilia.  You also get to meet the who's who in the firearms community.  I won a rifle a few years ago too.

It is a very good dinner, great experience, and all for a good cause to support the next generation of shooters. If you don't have base access don't worry, I think they give you a pass or we can do carpools if not.  Aloha attire or equivalent is fine.

I have 3 seats left for a 10 person table, probably more if some people drop.  Or can try for a 2nd table.

Updates:

2 seats available, maybe more if people drop out.

Base Access - Adults without a military ID will fill out a base security form and receive a base pass.

Payments - Preferably send me the payments with a check in the mail, paypal gift, google wallet (no fees), etc and I will consolidate and submit them. Or you can signup and submit payment straight to FRNA notating you want to be seated at our table. Don't do this yet, I'll notify you when to do it.

Deadlines - Once I give the go ahead, we need to do this prior to the end of the month or the event will sell out.

Event going on now at the e club at kbay.  Got all the firearm bigwigs here...NRA presidents supposed to be here....somewhere.  I'm hoping to win the carbine tonight.

The enlisted club is a little....how can I say....less classier than the officers club its usually held in.   Food looks just as delicious though.

Awarding donated rifles to the air rifle competitors.  High school air rifle teams usually aren't funded funded by the state or schools so they rely on donations by you, gun stores, and organizations for equipment, training camps, and competitions.
