Welcome to the Grand Pacific The Executive Committee has been working with Sue and Rusty for the past several months to make this shoot an outstanding experience for all who attend. One main goal of the PITA has always been to do the best for the shooters. As you read this program I think you see we have kept that goal in mind. Many of the events you have enjoyed in the past will be there for your participation again. We have added a couple of new activities. Our sponsors this year have been even more generous than usual, allowing us to offer more for our members. Here are a few things I hope you will do during this week long event: Visit all our vendors on site and thank them for their attendance Buy some tickets at the Basket Raffle inside the clubhouse Read this program so you know all the great things happening Browse through the silent auctions and raise someone s bid Join the fun in some of our evening activities Ride the shuttle with us to the Casino for dinner one evening Have a great time visiting with friends and family Patronize our advertisers, we have lots of new businesses listed Attend the General Meeting Friday at 8 a.m. (This is your Association) Don t forget to buy your Mega Raffle tickets Thank the Evergreen staff and board for their work this week My thanks and appreciation for all the volunteers who help throughout the year and during the Grand. It takes a year to make this one week event happen. Thank you to all who give of their time and energy to make this a success. I wish you all good shooting and much laughter. Stay safe!
