Default PGCA Silent Auction at Annual Meeting Banquet

Dear Friends and Members of the Parker Gun Collector's Association

The 2010 PGCA Annual Meeting and Banquet will be held on September 24, 2010 and will include, among other exciting features, the much anticipated Silent Auction fundraiser. The Silent Auction has been extremely successful in generating much needed revenue for the PGCA and has included some wonderful donations of auction items from both PGCA Members as well as from businesses that specialize in sporting related products.

Please look around at your accumulations of shooting and sporting equipment for anything you thought you needed but find you can do without and let me or Larry Frey know what you would like to donate. (Dan Houghton has done a darned good job of the Silent Auction in the past few years but finds his plate rather full with the recent arrival of twin sons - Congratulations Dan!!)

I was admiring all of the items and then I realized it said 2010. This thread is a great idea and I suggest someone update it for the 2012 annual meeting. Thanks

Sorry folks - This is a "dead thread". Last post before it was drug up out of the dust of time was by myself on September 18, 2010.

I will start a new 2012 thread as soon as I put the Autumn Issue of Parker Pages to bed.
