This is Granite Bay Flycasters’ only major fund raising event of the year.  There will be our famous raffle and silent auction loaded with valuable prizes, many of which are donated by GBF members, supporters, and community sponsors.  This event enables our club to be an integral part of the community. Please support our sponsors.

The money raised at the dinner equates to 60% of what it takes to run the club.  The annual dinner is a casual affair.  The raffle has several fly rods and reels to be won.  The silent auction will have both fishing and non-fishing items such as ½ price on a guided kayak trip on private waters, wine galore and several discounts for trips and equipment. Join us for an evening of fun.  If you would like to make a donation to the club it would also be appreciated.  If you are unable to attend the dinner you may still support the club by buying annual dinner raffle tickets.  Tickets will be sold to those not attending the dinner at the next two general meetings in $100, $50, and $10 packets. 

Seating is limited to the first 204 members and friends, so be sure to order your tickets EARLY!

Raffle/Auction Items Needed

GBF Members and Sponsors: Please consider donating items for this year’s Annual Dinner by March 14th. 

Our success at obtaining nice raffle and auction items is directly related to our success at raising the funds needed to pay for club activities in the year ahead.  Contribute now and you can benefit all year!     

Here are some of the kinds of things club members have donated in years past:

• New, unused merchandise – fishing-related or otherwise. 

• Professional services – in gift certificate or coupon form

• Handcrafted goods – again, fishing-related or other

• Flies you tied (favorites or specialty patterns) in a fly-box

• Funds specifically designated for the purchase of prizes

Our sponsors have donated a variety of items and received recognition in the dinner program and our Sponsors webpage.

Getting any ideas?  If you can help, please call Dennis Baker and send donations to his address below.  Any contribution is appreciated, and all donators are duly acknowledged at the dinner and at our website.  Here’s your chance to help the club help you (and fellow members) catch more fish in 2009 and support GBF's conservation and education mission.
