FRIENDS OF NRA

Last year the Black Mountain Boy scout camp was broken into by a bunch of recidivistic scum.

They stole camping gear, fishing gear, and broke into the the range and stole a several .22 caliber single shot hunting rifles. Before you think that the scoutmasters were irresponsible; They weren't. these rifles were always locked up, and were locked up at the time. The system was outdated.

However, Some good Samaritans stepped forward, and provided an emergency grant to replace their Camping Gear, Fishing Gear, and not only replaced their rifles, but In creased the number of rifles with help from Sportsman Warehouse, Bellingham's Security Solutions stepped forward and made a very modern Firearm Safe available to these Good Samaritans who coordinated these efforts.

Who are these good samaritans?

They are the Skagit and Whatcom County chapters of the Freinds of NAtional Rifle Association.

Their grant giving priorities are for youth safety and shooting programs, women's self defense programs and firearm range development.

In order to raise these funds, they need your help.

This Year, FRIDAY MAY NINTH at the Lakeway Inn, they will be hosting another fundraiser Auction and Banquet. It is a great family evening and prices for dinner are to be announced.

Details will be coming as the date gets closer. And yes Sam Taylor, there are many fine pieces of hardware on the auction block. You are invited to sit at my Table...
