I'm also a memebr of the Lick Creek chapter here in Missouri! Joined last year and attended the Banquet! Banquet was very well organized and the place was chocked full of raffle items! Realize that! This is a great organization doing great things for our sport but the Banquets are basically moneymakers. You buy raffle tickets for so much monay and then you put your raffle tickets into whichever drawing you want a chance at. There was also a silent auction that probably had over 50 different things to bid on. Again, everything costs money but it is for a good cause.
