Please join us for the
9th Annual NYS 4-H Shooting Sports
Recognition Banquet & Auction
April 19, 2008

Dear Friends:

The 2008 NYS 4-H Shooting Sports Recognition Banquet & Auction will be held at the Roaring Brook Resort & Conference Facilities in the beautiful Lake George Region on Saturday, April 19. We are moving to a larger venue to accommodate this growing event. Roaring Brook will provide more space for attendees and enable everyone to better view the great selection of auction items offered and to participate in the games. The difference in distance from last year’s venue is at most a half-hour. For those interested, a special discount overnight package is being offered to help make this an all in one get-away weekend to one of New York’s top tourist areas. This year’s Recognition Banquet & Auction offers something for everyone.

Here are the details:

Date: April 19, 2008
Location: The Roaring Brook Resort & Conference Facilities, Northway Exit 21.

Time: Doors will open at 4:00 p.m. for preview and participation in The Games, The Silent Auction and The Ticket Drop while enjoying complimentary hors d’oeuvres. A cash bar will also be available. Dinner will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. The Live Auction will begin at 7:30 pm.

Cost: Event tickets are $32.00 per person. Reservations are required by April 4! Special “Ticket Drop” Opportunity: Buy $100.00 worth of tickets for drop items and receive the same number of tickets for FREE. We feature high quality drop items. You can take advantage of this special “Ticket Drop” opportunity alone or join with a friend and double your chances of being a winner. Tickets may be ordered until April 11, 2008. You will receive your tickets at the door.

This event is the largest fundraiser for the NYS 4-H Shooting Sports Program. Simply stated, we need your support. Register now and bring family and friends. Join us to recognize outstanding leadership and service while enjoying a great evening that will raise vital funds to help ensure not only our current program … but the future of Shooting Sports for the next generation!

Sincerely,

William M. Schwerd, Executive Director
