Our 20th Anniversary Awards Banquet will take place on Saturday, April 5 at the Pearl Street Grille (fourth floor).  Hors d'oeuvres and open bar kick off the event at 6pm, dinner starts at 7pm, with award presentations and raffles to follow.

The banquet is an excellent opportunity to reminisce with friends about the 2013 musky season, our first 20 years as an organization, and enjoy a wonderful buffet dinner.  The cost is $40 per person.

My hope is many names from the club's history will attend, making the banquet a sort of homecoming event.

Our awards presentation will offer a glimpse into our club's history and accomplishments, in addition to honoring our founding fathers and this year's awards recipients who have helped make our club the best it can be.

Our five HUGE raffle tables will be loaded with rods, reels, lures (many of which will be custom colors), release equipment, fishing equipment, gift baskets (read: booze and stuff that smells nice), gift cards to local restaurants and businesses, and (thanks to Larry Jones) TEN FREE GUIDED FISHING TRIPS ON LOCAL WATERS!  THAT'S RIGHT, TEN!  The gem of the raffles may be a FREE WEEKEND STAY IN OCTOBER AT CHAUDIERE LODGE ON THE UPPER FRENCH RIVER!  The Upper French is musky paradise and Chaudiere Lodge may be the finest resort gracing her shores!  Thank you Steve from Chaudiere for your very generous donation, and to Rich Sandig for acquiring it!  One of the five tables will feature lures and equipment the club purchased from NMA Hall-of-Fame Angler, Mark Maghran!  (Many of the lures have big teeth marks!)  We are always looking to acquire more donations and deals, so expect the best banquet raffle tables ever, and that is saying quite a lot!  There will be a 50/50 split and a slew of door prizes, as well!

For those who have trouble with stairs, the Pearl Street has an elevator to the fourth floor.  The elevator may be accessed easiest from the rear of the building.

We are 20 years old, team!  Please attend the banquet this year.  The experience will be worth more than your time, effort and expense!

Thanks,

Scott
