Mr. Chris Fierro was the lucky winner of the High Sky Wing raffle. He is shown proudly displaying his prize, a commemorative Henry 30-30 rifle. With him were (L to R) Steve Bolin, Michael Clinton, Steve Clinton, Brent Collins and Bob Potter.
The was the Wing’s first attempt at a raffle, and while final numbers aren’t yet available, Steve Bolin, Finance Officer, reports that it was definitely worth the effort. Thanks to all members who sold tickets and made it a successful venture.
