Members and Friends: 

Preparations are under way for our Annual Banquet and Fundraiser. This year will be our fifth under the banner of the Arizona Deer Association. In the past four years, chapter members & friends have volunteered over nine hundred hours in labor for the care and construction of water projects in game management units north of the river and in the southern end of Utah’s Paunsaugunt Management Unit (for benefit of the migratory herd that winters on both sides of Utah’s border with Arizona Unit 12B). Other annual activities include the Littlefield Fundraiser, our Family Camp Out, the membership Fun Day, sponsorship of the Unit 12AW Junior’s Antlerless Hunt Base Camp, and of course our Banquet. Check out the ADA website at www.azdeer.org for more information. 

This year’s Banquet will be held in Kanab on April 30th at the new Kanab Middle School gym. Dinner will be Houston’s famous “Chicken Fried Steak” with all the fixin’s and will be served at 7:00 PM. Doors will open at 6:00 PM for auction items viewing and raffle ticket purchases. Of course, we all know what happens after dinner....please plan to be generous. Remember, all the proceeds of the raffles & auctions stay with our local chapter....and will help finance projects on the Kaibab, Buckskins, Strip, and in the Paunsaugunt. Funds will also go toward public education and youth programs that directly benefit wildlife habitat. 

Tickets are available through the Banquet Board Members listed below. Cost for a single membership with dinner is $50.00. Couples can join and enjoy dinner for $60.00. Youth membership with dinner is $30.00. Paid up members & guests can enjoy dinner for $10.00 each. You can also print out our ticket order form and mail it in to us. 

Seating will be limited for this event and we are offering “Early Bird” ticket purchases through March 28th with an opportunity to win a Puma Model 92 lever action 357 caliber rifle with soft case sponsored by Cedar Post Trading Company in Kanab. Please don’t delay....when the seats are sold....the ticket sales stop.

Do it by March 28th and qualify for the “Early Bird” drawing.
