Dear SCI Members & Friends,

Our banquet committee has been meeting every month preparing for another great banquet. Be sure to mark your calendars: 3/31/12 at the new Hilton@Polaris. There will be over 60 great hunts and trips in this year’s Live Auction, plus 30+ quality guns, over 300 unique Raffle and Silent Auction items and a chance to win a $1000. shopping spree at the Polaris Mall with a Saturday night Hilton Getaway package included.

And speaking of banquet items; As a special incentive to all members, the banquet committee has decided to repeat last year’s successful donation program. Simply call Tim McKelvey at (614) 891-5309 or (614) 309-0281 to discuss a possible donation and receive one free Polaris Shopping Spree ticket ($20. value) for every $100. worth of value donation. Example: Donate an item that has an agreed upon value of $400. and receive four Polaris Mall Shopping Spree tickets.

Some of the items donated in past years have been: OSU, Blue Jackets tickets, lots of sports memorabilia, use of vacation condos, photography sessions, landscape services, carpet cleaning, dental/teeth whitening, used guns, a duck boat, two used kayaks and the list goes on an on. You name it and this chapter can positively use it.

The Central Ohio Chapter members have been most generous with all types of donations and this has definitely made it easier to conduct many exciting and profitable banquets over the years. Countless individuals and both local and national outdoor organizations have certainly appreciated the more than $372,000. that the Central Ohio Chapter has donated since its beginning in 1991.
So, thanks in advance for any donations and have a safe and most enjoyable hunting season. The banquet committee and I look forward to seeing you at the Hilton@Polaris this March.

                                          Life is short

                                          Let's go hunting...
