SPECIAL IFISH OFFER! 

Ifish members have been a tremendous partner and supporter of NSIA. Together we are making the sportfishing and conservation voice heard, and together we will continue to grow stronger and more coordinated. In recognition of this, we would like to offer a special reduced rate to the NSIA Holiday Banquet and Auction on December 3 at the Airport Sheraton in Portland. Get a jump start on your holiday shopping and mingle with key industry members, legislators, and commissioners and others active in the natural resources arena.

Jennie@ifish · 11-12-2005, 07:30 AM

It appears you have to buy a table. I don't know the single seat price. I'll ask Liz.

Jen

Springer43 · 11-12-2005, 10:43 AM

folks,

$50.00 a plate or $375 a table (eight people) which also gets you wine and an advertisement for your table. This auction is a good place for deals on gear and Christmas presents!

Jennie@ifish · 11-12-2005, 11:36 AM

Besides that... One year at one of these, and you will meet so many people who take care of our resource!

It's so fun to see all the names that you see in print, in person! Ifishers, NSIA, Steelheaders, owners of stores!!!

What a great group of people! Doesn't get any finer!

Jen

Gundog · 11-13-2005, 10:00 AM

I might be interested in buying a couple seats but not the entire table bad timing just before Christmas. If they will only sell a table at one time maybe we could get some people that want to go to sign up or some how band together to foot the bill a table at a time. Could someone clarify this for me?

Jennie@ifish · 11-13-2005, 12:10 PM

Why don't you post here, if you'd like to attend, but not a whole table?

You don't need to commit, just post that you'd like to attend and let's see what happens!

Gooseman · 11-13-2005, 12:46 PM

Might be interested in 1 or 2 seats.

Springer43 · 11-14-2005, 11:28 AM

I just checked with Greg at NSIA. He indicated individuals were welcome. Just give him a call and make sure he knows you are an ifish member for the $50.00 a plate rate. Call Greg Dunham, or anyone who answers the phone at NSIA, 503-631-8859 or 1-866-315-NSIA to reserve your seats today.

I do think it would be great to have an "ifish" table, so by all means lets follow Jennie's suggestion if we can get eight or more ifish members. Unfortunately, I've already commited to sitting at another table.

Hogmaster · 11-16-2005, 10:38 AM

Hmmmmm.....

I think I'm busy that evening...

Heathman for 8, or table at the banquet...

Just not sure.

What should I do, Jenn?

:grin:

P-ride · 11-17-2005, 10:17 PM

I'm very interested in going. I just don't know if I need 1 seat or 2. If we get 8 of us to go in on a table, I'd like to be included. Sounds like a good time!

Jennie@ifish · 11-18-2005, 06:44 AM

There aren't many tables left. If Ifish buys a table, who would come?

Come on, you guys... this is a great place to get great deals on tackle!!! Plus, it would be a fun evening out!

Anyone want to join in?

I'll cover the table cost if I can get enough names-- until you arrive.
Jen

Jennie@ifish · 11-18-2005, 06:45 AM

So far P ride and Gooseman-- I'd need to know one or two seats?

And hog? Getoutaheah! You have more important things to do!

And others?

garyk · 11-18-2005, 10:06 AM

Sitting at the IFish table would be an honor

!

We've already got another table committment though, so we will see ya there!

This NSIA event and Tillamook's "Bounty on the Bay" are the events I most look forward to each year.

NSIA's past auctions have been great - I've have a BowFlex gym and Minnkota Riptide 72 as a couple reminders of the cool auction items they had.

I understand an Eric Leonard life-sized, copper chinook sculpture is being offered this year; (hope a pic of this can be added soon).

One lucky bidder will be hanging that trophy on their wall.

Jennie@ifish · 11-18-2005, 10:47 AM

Yeah! We can sit around and talk bad about everybody and everything! WhOOO HOOOO!
:smile:

I'm just kidding!!!

OK, who wants to go? Come out, come out, wherever you are! :smile:

Jen

garyk · 11-23-2005, 01:01 PM

Here's a preview of one of the oral auction items.

A life sized copper chinook by Eric Leonard. The actual one is still being crafted and it will look similar to this:

Jennie, you should have Bill start measuring some wall space for this 'nook.

OceanBlue · 11-23-2005, 01:06 PM

OOOH! I wanna go!!! I went last year and what fun it was. The auction was a hoot! Met interesting people, too. They even let Pete in

Jennie, are we really doing an Ifish table? Can I buy a seat?

Jennie@ifish · 11-23-2005, 03:34 PM

I have given up on the ifish table and I was invited to sit at someone elses table...I bought two seats, there. But I'm sure they are selling individual seats! I would love to have you there, Jen!
