The Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs will hold its annual fundraising banquet on Saturday, March 14, at the Barre Elks Lodge.

Organizers say the event helps support the organization’s efforts to promote Vermont’s outdoor traditions and provide youth education programs focused on conservation, hunting, fishing and responsible stewardship of natural resources.

Games of chance will begin at 4:30 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner at 6:30 p.m. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a Calcutta raffle during the evening.

Tickets for the raffle and dinner will be available for purchase at the door. Both cash and credit or debit cards will be accepted.

The Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs said proceeds from the event help fund its activities aimed at educating Vermont citizens and legislators about the importance of protecting the state’s natural resources and maintaining long-standing outdoor traditions.

Those who cannot attend but wish to support the organization can donate through the group’s website or by mailing a check to the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, 454 South Main Street, Northfield, VT 05663.

The organization is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit.
