Hola Granite Bay Members

By checking these Internet sites, you get fast and up to date information on what’s happening with our Chapter.
Our 14 Annual Granite Bay Fundraiser Western BBQ was held on May 10, 2014 and was a resounding success!
We had over 190 attendees that spent the evening at a great venue, the Blue Goose Event Center. The Western Food was great with JR BBQ cooking chicken, tri-tip with all the fixings. We were max'd out so next year we will have to limit ticket sales to the first 200 people. We were nice and cozy with so much fun, games, and live and silent auction activities.
We made money for our future project and most of all we added 18 new members to our family.
We want to thank all our sponsors, donors, and everyone who attended and supported us. We will be posting all our donors and sponsors on our web page and facebook page so support these great company’s.

Many thanks to member Bradley Beer for donating space to store our records and mounts. This will save us a lot of money. We will be inventorying all mounts and weeding out the old ones and damaged ones. If you have a need for some of these full mounts or heads for schools or other education needs, call us. We are always needing fresher mounts and skins since the Sensory Safaris and storage takes a toll on their condition. If you have anything to donate to this cause, call us.
Ok, that's it for now. We have alot of events planned so Please come and participate at the events to help make them successful. Spread the word and bring a friend for some fun.
