NAFEX 2011 Dinner and Raffle - Vernal Utah

[Chris L.]

It's that time of year again... I am beginning to plan for the 4th annual NAFEX dinner and raffle. It will be held during the NAFA meet in Vernal, Utah. I am still trying to decide on a suitable venue for the dinner, which will be much easier once I know how many will be attending. I do not want to base it off of last year's numbers, since Vernal is a bit off the beaten path for many.

The raffle at the dinner is free. The only stipulation is you have to be an active NAFEX member. I want to thank the past raffle sponsors for their donations. Without all of your generous contributions, the dinner would not be such a success.

------

Dinner location and Times

The dinner will be heled at the 7-11 ranch restaurant at 700pm. The raffle will be held around 8-815pm

November 22nd

7-11 Ranch Restaurant

** If you have anything you would like to donate to this years raffle, please email me or PM me your item. Anything is greatly appreciated**

Please complete the following poll so that I can better estimate the number of prospective attendees.


I am looking forward to seeing everyone again. Happy hawking!

Chris

Peace 'dog. I'll quit. Damn

[mainefalconer]

Not sure what my plans are yet. I'm going to be flying out, and leaving my team of dogs and hawks behind, so probably wont plan on being there for much more than the meet. (wanna get back, and get hawkin')

I'll definitely be looking for folks to get out and do some hawking with though, since I wont have my own.

Chris, my attendance will of course depend on any obligations as a NAFA DAL, but if I can make it (really want to!) it will be me and a friend.

Oh, and you can count on me for a Launcher Leash for your Raffle. We can get together at the Meet to do the transfer. I'm booked at the Meet hotel.

Greg I sure hope you can make it. I know you have a ton going on. I am sure we will be there late.

Thank you for the leash. Lets try to meet up during orientation that night.

be safe in your travels
