TBG Banquet Pics 2011 Griffin, GA....

[TNGIRL]

Sat July 30th, 2011 found us all slowly converging on the Kiwanis Club in Griffin, GA for our annual TBG business meeting/banquet. The business meeting was informative and lively at moments. Joel Smith, our out-going President did a fine job keeping us on topic and moving us thru the various plans and ideas and individual thoughts and concerns. TBG looks like it's gonna have a fine next couple years to come, we are growing and becoming stronger.

Here's Jeff Kitchens with Hunter and Lauren greeting you at the door!!!!

After the meeting, people really started coming thru the doors!!!! The next many pics are the tables with the donated raffle items!!!!We had many many wonderful items...Thanks to everyone that donated something for the door prize tables and the raffle tables!!!!!

3rd batch:
OK, since I am pic taker, I'll take a little bit of license here and show the arrows I brought to the raffle table. I won them on the St Jude's Auction back in June on another archery site. Rob Green from Kempner,TX had made them and after I won another set, he included these 6 arrows extra for me at no extra cost, to be raffled off or given away to kids, at my descretion. I thought our banquet was the perfect place for this!!!!He does an awesome job on making kids arrows!!!!!

Before we sat down to dinner, I began taking pics of our many friends that came together for this event. Here I caught Mr and Mrs Dan Beckwith.

Mr and Mrs Dan Spier.

Great job by everyone. I always look forward to the Banquet because it is always great to meet up with those who we haven't seen in a while. I always enjoying being around people who enjoy the same things,it's like a big family reunion without the arguements...........well except during business meeting. I hope everyone has a fantastic, and safe hunting season, good luck

Good Pictures.

Mrs Weston won two knives and a tomahawk. What is she planning?

 

[Al33]

Congrat's to all the raffle winners! For the second year in a row I didn't win a thing even though I tried to get Conner to pull my ticket. The great thing about not winning anything is knowing your dollars are going to a great cause, so in that light, I AM a winner.

Jeff Roberts won the spine tester and I put a lot of tickets in the bag for that one, not to mention Oconee Dans' knife and so many others. Oh well, there is always next year.
