2010 UBI Banquet

[Kevin Bahr]

When is it? Hopefully not the last weekend in February or the last weekend in March.
The Wisconsin Traditional Archers banquet is the last weekend in Feb, 2010 and the PBS Banquet is the last weekend in March, actually March 25-28th, 2010.
Any plans made yet for the banquet? Is it at the same facility or are we moving?

Kevin, Rick is prepping them to go out later next week I believe. Flint

[Kevin Bahr]

I got my registration letter and form yesterday in the mail. Thanks Flint and Rick.
One small typo in your letter Rick, down below it says we are taking our guest speaker, Monty Browning, out for dinner. HA! Don't let Monty find out or he might just show up!

Gene Wensel sent me 3 books. Robin and TJ Conrads sent a book an a membership. Got two books from Don Thomas. Got a backpack hunt from a fellow out in Idaho - more details to follow on that one. Got a longbow coming from Kenny McKenzie in Missouri. I'm expecting a couple hog hunts from Rob Keibler down in Texas. Anybody else have anything new to note?

[Jerry Gille]

Got an Ascent Pack from Sitka Gear, an online subscription and a book from Traditional Bowhuter. Jim Garcia called about a knife donation and a book donation. Thanks Jim! Jim Schulz called about a very unique box tureky call donation. Thanks Jim.

[Jerry Gille]

We got one hog/javie hunt donated by Rob Kiebler down in Texas. Will do two card raffles: one for a Jim Reynolds MOAB longbow and the other for the Sitka Ascent pack.

Not too late to get a reservation in to Rick, but better hurry if you are going to do this.
