Fundraisers

CRAFTS, GUNS, & COLLECTIBLES SHOW
For the last 11 years, the Club has conducted a fundraiser during the Memorial Day weekend. When the Show started in 2000, it was solely a Gun Show. A few years later, it was decided to expand the Show to include collectibles as the number of gun vendors was declining. The 2007 Show will be expanded further to include crafts in an attempt to maximize the number of vendors involved in the show. The two-day Show (Friday and Saturday) is held in the Ruidoso Convention Center. The Show is the Club's primary fundraiser netting in excess of $10.000 annually. Lion Don Fowler chairs the  Crafts, Guns, and Collectibles Show.

ANTIQUE  SHOW
In the early 1990's, Lion Bill Allen began negotiations with AmeriWest Shows to co-host an annual Antiques Show the weekend before Labor Day. Several years ago, collectibles were added to encourage more vendors to be involved. The Club's portion of the profit for this successful fundraiser (normally nets $5000-$7000) comes from three items. The Club gets to keep 100% of the pre-Show ticket sales, a percentage of the ticket sales at the door, and the food concession.  The 2012 Show will be co-hosted with Arizona Antiques Shows.
