International Sportsman's Expo

Phoenix, Arizona
18-20 February 2005

The ATAA had a booth at the show.  Information was handed out to the public about 'Who IS the ATAA', along with a list of the active members and our website for additional reference of what we are doing as an association.  Membership applications were on hand as well as registration forms for our annual convention in June 2005.

We were successful in raffling two items, two separate bucket drawings!  Tickets were sold for $1.00 each!  Thanks to Chuck Meacham, we had a beautiful Coues deer mount to raffle with reproduction antlers provided by Jim Hartsock, the base provided by Dan Tout and the habitat provided by Chuck Meacham.  Also, thanks to Ceej Johnson for obtaining the donation of a NEXT 18 speed bicycle that we were able to raffle as well.

Congratulations to Michael Blevins of Tucson, AZ for winning the Coues deer mount!  And, congratulations to Elmer Johns of Mesa, AZ for winning the bicycle! We hope you both enjoy your prizes!

The money collected for the raffle paid for our booth at ISE as well as contributed $280 to our association.  THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS!

You can participate in additional opportunities at raffles and silent auction items available at our Annual Convention and Competition on June 10 & 11, 2005.  We are always graciously accepting your donations.  All donations are tax deductible.  For more information, please contact Gail Tout at (520)790-1054, or Annette Hartsock at (480)734-4392.

THANK YOU, and HAPPY HUNTING!
