[Chris L.]

Hey guys,


Thank you for those who have already donated and gotten this going. This raffle is dependent on the generosity of the NAFEX members and the falconry business that contribute. I can't thank you all enough for making this possible.

I am a little behind as I am trying to get a new business going so this years raffle may be a little anemic. I will do my best to make it just as good as the last but this business venture and training birds has most of my time wrapped up.

No matter what we will still have a good time and we can all meet for a drink and some food. I will start the raffle list this weekend. I will update it as the donations come in.

I am looking forward to seeing you all again.

Chris

Any word on where it's going to be this year? If you're real busy Chris just say the word and I'm sure some of us can do some research to get the ball rolling and at least narrow the choices down like last year. Or do you have a place in mind from previous years?

Hi Darren,

Thank you for the offer, I really appreciate it. Yeah I am up to my ears with my new business and trying to fly birds and the other million things I have going on.

What I need help with is donations. If you guys can gather up items to bring that would be great. I am checking into places now. I always get there way before everyone else does so I like to look at the spots before I commit. I will let you all know soon what I find out.

Sorry for the delay this year, I hope I can get it together before then. We will do something for sure, the raffle just might not have as much flare as the past years.

Thank you for the help

Chris

Thank you Tom!

The package arrived yesterday. I have not opened it yet, I am sure it will be awesome.

This year I am thinking just some drinks at a local brew house. It will be low key and just a way for us to all hangout again and drink some \. When I get to Alamosa I will let everyone know where the dinner will be.

Its crazy how fast it has come

[Chris L.]

Martin and Chris,

Thank you guys for donating as well. The more stuff the better, I really appreciate the support.

Gaz thanks for the courier service.. I owe ya a beer or 8 for that!

[latham]

Chris: This is always one of the highlights of the meet. And, just to restate the obvious, this has not been a raffle, but is more of a "door prize" event, right? However, if it becomes a raffle, that is ok too. I am bringing a variety of things....Cheers, Bob

Hi Bob,

Thank you for the kind words. It's so much fun seeing everyone each year and I its great to know it meaningful. I enjoy giving back to the falconry community and the members of NAFEX. Everyones donations make this possible.

You always do way too much for the dinner. Your donations are always a hit and so many leave with smiles on their faces.

Yes you are right, its all door prizes. I guess I should call it that then huh. It's kind of misleading. I was thinking of making it a raffle one year and donating all of the proceeds to the Archives or to the Peregrine fund. I may try it in Texas??

I look forward to seeing you there. Please be safe if your travels. Don't hesitate to holler at me if you need anything at the meet.

Chris, do I need to make reservations for the NAFEX dinner. Myself and 2 other nafex members want to attend.
