NRA Dinner in Kingman this Saturday

The Mohave County Friends of NRA plans to hold a banquet at the Kingman Elks Lodge, 900 Gates Ave, Kingman, AZ on April 19th at 6:00pm.

Tickets will be $25 per person and may be purchased at On Target Enterprise, 2747 Ashfork Ave, Kingman, AZ 86401 or contact Pierre at (928) 753-4314. This dinner sells out early, so purchase your dinner tickets in advance.

Friends of NRA is a key grassroots event that supports thousands of community service related to firearm education, hunter safety, wildlife conservation, range improvements, youth marksmanship and law enforcement, among others. Working with NRA field representatives, the members and volunteers organize banquets in their communities, complete with auctions, special drawings, and fellowship. Much of the merchandise at the banquets is donated or provided at reduced cost by hundreds of participating vendors.

The upcoming banquet will feature stuffed chicken breast or pork roast, a live and silent auction and lots of games and raffles.

The Friends of NRA is the face of the NRA, run at the grassroots level by people from all walks of life. At a Friends of NRA banquet, you'll meet fire chiefs, engineers, shopkeepers, police officers and teachers--all mainstream citizens working together to support an important cause in preserving our rights and heritage.

Half of the profits raised by each Friends of NRA banquet will be spent in the state in which it was held. The other half supports qualifying national-level programs like the Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program, Women On Target® and other educational and safety services. State Fund Committees made up of volunteers review grant applications from local organizations and make recommendations to The NRA Foundation on how the money might best be used in their areas.
