• Nevada Society 70th Annual Meeting

  

  The Nevada State Society SAR held their 70th Annual Conference in Reno in late March 2025. The event took place at the J Resort Casino Hotel. Attendees included compatriots of both the Battle Born Patriots Chapter (host) and the Signers Chapter.
  SAR Vice President General of the Western District, Brian Stephens, administered the oath of office to newly elected officers.
  The Battle Born Patriots Chapter Color Guard presented the colors at the event and the Sierra Highlanders Pipe Band enhanced the atmosphere of the conference with their music.
  State President Jeff Gutting presented a $1,500 donation for the SAR Museum to Dr. M. Kent Gregory, Museum Board Chairman. The funds were collected from both Nevada State chapters as well as individual contributions from members of those chapters and others.

  Event Details   

  The drawing will take place during the Liberty Prize awards dinner on November 16, 2024, at the Reno Elks Lodge.

  How to Participate

  To secure a ticket, please send your donation and details to Jim McLane, our BBP Treasurer. Jim will record your contribution and notify David Hess, who will enter your name for the appropriate number of tickets. David will then provide you with your assigned ticket numbers.

  During the drawing, each ticket number will correspond to a numbered ball in the raffle hopper. If all 300 tickets are sold, there will be 300 numbered balls. The hopper will be spun, and a single ball will be drawn to determine the winner.

  Important Information

  • Only 300 tickets will be sold.
  • There is no limit to how many tickets you can purchase.
  • Tickets are available to out-of-state donors, as the musket is not classified as a firearm under the 1968 GCA.
  • Ticket sales close on November 16, 2024, or when all tickets are sold, whichever comes first.

  Good luck, and thank you for supporting the Liberty Prize program!
