2026 Registration Form

Holiday Inn Room Reservation

The reunion while it is still over two months away will get here before you know it.
If you are planning to attend please get your registration in and reserve
your room at the Holiday Inn so we get the free meeting space.
This is a numbers driven event.

If you would like to purchase tickets for the rifle raffle mail a check to Ken at
804 Lynview St. NE, Lenoir, NC 28645.
Tickets are $10.00 each.
Rifle raffle tickets are selling but not as fast as we would like.
Tickets are $10.00 each and can be purchased from me direct.
Our goal is to sell 1000 tickets.

If you would like to sell tickets just let Ken or Mary know how many you would like.
Tickets come in books of 10. Once the tickets are sold,
please return the stubs along with a check or money order.
We really need to get behind this raffle.

We will be offering another M1A rifle for 2026.
We need member support to make this happen.
Winner will be announced at the banquet on 16 May.
Let me know if you want tickets and I will get them to you
