WRRA’s 67h Annual Meeting

Could it be the scenic Lake Coeur d’Alene location or the opportunity to catch up
with the WRRA Members and their families? These two great reasons maybe the
highlights of the 67th Annual Meeting but, there are many more as
well:
To go or not
 How about the JP Jones III Memorial Golf Tourto go? That is
nament which
the question!
supports the WRRA Scholarship Program?

How about seeing the WRRA Associate Members?
They will be there throughout the meeting and have
their services and equipment for you to view during the Welcome Reception,
the Truck & Equipment Show and during
meals.

Don’t forget the Friday Night Barbeque! We
will be outside on the Lakeview Terrace, overlooking the lake this year. Remember to wear
your “loudest” Aloha-style Shirt to the BBQ
for a chance to win a prize.

The Annual Banquet & Awards Program will
be on Saturday Night. Who will be presented
with a WRRA Award? You need to be there
to find out!

Like last year, we’ve again implemented a Vendor Blackout Bingo Game for
both adults and kids. This popular game is a great way for attendees to acquaint
themselves with our exhibitors. Completed cards will be entered into a raffle
during the Saturday Night Banquet for a chance to win a Grand Prize.
These events and many more will provide you, your spouse and your family a great
way to start the 2014 summer!
