Greater Triangle Friends of NRA hold highest grossing event ever in North Carolina

Attendees at the Golden Triangle Friends of NRA banquet in North Carolina

Fairfax, Virginia - Last month featured the best Friends of NRA banquet the state has ever seen. Featuring NRA Second Vice President Alan Cors, NRA Board Member Edie Fleeman and almost 800 Second Amendment Supporters, the event was a huge success. And fresh off the press we have an article covering the historic night from NRA Event Support Coordinator Allison Terusiak. Enjoy.

With the economy in yet another year of little growth, you would think that finding an excess of funds would be nearly impossible. Not so for the Greater Triangle Friends of NRA committee in North Carolina. Not only did this committee beat out its previous year's net income profits by over $53,500, but it decided to throw in a side of victory by setting the record for the highest net profit sales for the state of North Carolina, totaling $95,865. How you ask? We were able to get a little insight from one of the major contributors to this success, committee chairman Elvie Rogers.
