Gearing Up For 2010

   It looks like it's going to be another great year in Alabama for the the Friends of NRA. There will be 11 returning banquets from 2009, 2 banquets are coming off hiatus and we will have at least 3 brand new committees hosting banquets. So you can be certain you won't have to travel very far to support the program. You can find a banquet near you by clicking the FIND EVENT/BUY TICKET tab to the left.

   On March 6 the State Fund Committee (representatives from committees that hosted banquets in 2009) gathered in Montgomery to discuss the grant applications which came from all across the state. You can find the complete list of grant recipients below... The SFC granted out nearly $50,000. This was possible because of the hard work and dedication from our committees as well as the continued participation from our sponsors and attendees. We hope to continue the growth we have seen and raise even more money to fund the very deserving programs that submit grants every year.
