HELP NEEDED - Evergreen Ducks Unlimted Banquet - May 14th (Saturday)

[Akyla]

Hey guys! I am the Silent Auction Chairman for the Evergreen Ducks Unlimited Chapter. For those of you who don't already know, Ducks Unlimited is a wetlands conservation organization. We have our annual banquet coming up. We are really short on tickets sales so far, which is surprising as it's a cheap ticket for what you get (appetizers, nice dinner, and beer/wine too). It's a lot of fun! Tickets are $49/person and only $15 for kids. The event will be at the Evergreen Elks Club. We have lots of great stuff on the auctions and raffles (more than a dozen guns, trips, DU items, a year membership to BluCore, and LOTS more).  This event isn't just for hunters or guys. We also have a bunch of silent auction items for the ladies (jewelry, handbags, gift certificates, etc) and fun stuff for the kids (duck calling contest, DOW laser shoot). Bring your wives, kids and friends!

You can either buy tickets at the link below or I have some in hand for anyone that prefers (I'm in Lakewood). 

If you can't make it, but would like to make a cash donation or a donation of an item that we could sell at our silent or live auction, please PM me.  Or if you want to volunteer your time to help out at the banquet. Thanks guys (and gals)!

Evergreen DU Banquet

Please join us at the Evergreen Ducks Unlimited Annual Banquet on Saturday May 14th, 2011. To purchase your tickets online please click the Buy Tickets link below.  BUT DON'T WAIT -- we've got a lower ticket price this year and tickets are selling fast -- we cannot guarantee a seat without a reservation.

Our dinner and auction will feature multiple hunts including an Argentina Dove Hunt, plus a trip to Cozumel, and a "Perfect Drift" flyfishing trip with Field and Stream Editor Kirk Deeter.

Of couse, we'll also have fantastic merchandise and loads of firearms including the opportunity to win the 2011 hand engraved, gold inlay "Bud Gun" -- the gold alone on this gun is worth over $1,500!

Your ticket includes a great meal, complimentary beer and wine, and a DU membership.  All proceeds from this event are used for wetland and open space conservation via Ducks Unlimited.

Please join us to support DU and wetlands conservation and please forward this email to your friends who would like to attend this DU event.

that would be awesome if it worked

[Akyla]

BTT.

Still need to sell lots of tickets! Help us out.

We've got 15 guns on raffles and less than 100 tickets sold. I'd say those are pretty good odds.

Last day to buy tickets online. We are almost sold out. I think we only have about 10 left. We usually try to allow for about 10-20 walk-ins for day-of, but it looks like we will likely have to turn them away this year.

Buy your tickets at the link in the original post now if you want in on this year's event.

We've got a Weatherby 30-06, lots of nice shotguns, a .357 Ruger Vaquero, some .22s, and more! We also have some nice hunting and fishing trips, and lots of great items on the silent auction (including stuff for the ladies).

PM me if you have any questions.
