Benefit for the Methow Mule Deer Herd
« on: October 14, 2014, 01:59:55 PM »
For those of us that want to do more than just talk about rebuilding the Methow Mule Deer Herd please attend this benefit dinner sponsored by the Mule Deer Foundation.  Contacts and info below.


November 22nd benefit dinner in Winthrop, WA for fire recovery


Dan McKinley

Regional Director at Mule Deer Foundation

Top Contributor


Our benefit dinner and auction will be at The Barn, in Winthrop, WA on Nov. 22. We will be having a live and silent auction, raffles, a great prime rib dinner, and lots of fun raising money to help with the recovery of habitat, winter range protection, and helping the deer herds survive through this winter.
 If you know anyone who may be interested in attending, donating, or supporting this event, send them my way and we'll get them involved. Looking for lots of publicity, too, so feel free to share the event and contact info. Can call, text, or email me for more details.

Sounds like a good cause to support!  Long term, the fire should benefit wildlife, but with so much winter range destroyed, the next few years are going to be a problem. 

(BTW, How many extra special hunt permits/second tags etc., did WDFW issue to substantially reduce herd numbers because of the Carlton Complex wildfire- I had heard thru the rumor mill 2,000?) I HOPE that was a gross exaggeration.

I thought it was 1000 but please let's not sidetrack this thread.
Thanks to all.

They should set up a booth for donations the Friday after Thanksgiving as well. That is the Christmas Lighting festival, and it draws in a lot of money over that weekend.

"The 23rd Annual Winthrop Chamber of Commerce Holiday Lighting Festival is two weeks away!!  Join us Friday November 28th from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Winthrop Center for an afternoon of holiday cheer.  We will have appearances by Cervizzi’s, Girl Scouts, Vocal Vikings, Winthrop School of Performing Arts, Lori Wadkins students, Winthrop Playmakers and a Holiday Ho Ho Hocus Pocus show with Abrakidabra’s, Mike Bent!  There will be free photos with Santa from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, reindeer rides, games and raffles.  Special appearances by The Grinch, Frosty the Snowman, Teddy, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and more."

They close the streets and everyone gathers in the middle of town for a fireworks show (from the little park a crossed the bridge on the north end) then Light up the town Christmas lights. We use to go every year but I have not made it last two years.

Tons of people in town that weekend.

Thanks for the idea about the lighting weekend.  I'll have to ask and see if they would let us be there to raise more funds for the work, and see if one of our local guys could be there for a few hours.
By the way, ALL of the money raised at this dinner (100% of profits) are going to stay in Okanogan county for use ONLY on Mule Deer and critical habitat for them, or other crucial needs for the herds in the county.  Not $1 will leave the county, so this is a really cool opportunity to maximize our effect there.  Only time in my 20 years of doing these fundraisers that I've ever heard of 100% staying for projects!

The lighting weekend is a pretty big event especially when HWY 20 is still open, and there's a good fireworks show

If you are inquiring about the end of the road event it is open to all that show up. If you are inquiring about the mule deer benefit I can't help you on that as I have no idea.
If you are coming to town for either event use the phone number in my signature and we'll get together for coffee

Anyone can get tickets to our benefit dinner by either messaging me, emailing me, or shooting me a call or text.  All I need is your name and the number in your party.  Adults are $25 and youth 17 and under will be $10.  So let me know adults and youth to put on the list, and we'll reserve you a spot for a great prime rib dinner, and chances to get into some raffles for guns and optics, as well as some great auction items!

Gonna be a great time, for a great cause!  A quick update:  Just received a limited edition print on canvas from Dallon Lambson, have a great pair of Leupold 10x42 binos donated, 10x42 Minox binos, a Quigley Ford custom ballistic scope valued at $750, 3 different fishing trips for salmon and steelhead, a bird hunting trip, 6 guns to give away including a Benelli R1, 30-06, Rock Island Armory .45 semi auto, and a ton more!
Also, a huge thanks to Gebbers who provided us with all of the Prime Rib that we'll be enjoying for dinner Saturday night, and Montucky Cold Snacks who are donating 10 cases of beer for our fundraiser.  Those 10 cases will put a little extra FUN in the FUN-draiser Saturday night!  Also to Hank's Market for supplying the rest of dinner, doing the cooking, and providing a ton more help so far!  Thanks to everyone who is helping out, and to those that are coming.  Hope to see some of you there!

The dinner on the 22nd was a great success, and we had about 110 people there for a good time and to help our Mule Deer in Okanogan County.  Gave away 6 guns, plenty of optics, had a great Prime Rib dinner, and raised just over $11,000 to help the deer during this winter and going forward.  Thanks for spreading the word and helping to get people there.
If anyone still wants to help by making a donation to help out there, let me know and I will get you in touch with the right person who is administering the check book.  Thanks again, and let's hope for mild weather to help out!
