Despite Measure 114 and court challenges casting a shadow over guns at fund-raisers, OHA enjoyed a banner year for our 40th Anniversary. Redmond, Hoodview and Columbia County led off the charge for our fundraiser season on Feb. 25. More than half of the chapters holding events set records with their gross and/or net income.
All of these funds will be used in Oregon promoting our mission: Protecting Oregon’s Wildlife, Habitat and Hunting Heritage. The Bend Chapter set a new OHA chapter record of $113,921, and the Tioga Chapter netted the second-best all-time mark of $108,195.
OHA’s State Convention also tallied an all-time record net at our sold-out 40th Anniversary banquet attended by 550 guests on May 6 at Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City.
Attendance at OHA banquets was a big reason OHA’s membership surged over the 11,000 mark this year, surpassing even our pre-COVID numbers.
OHA thanks our chapters, members and sponsors for their unwavering support in the face of the challenges we’ve seen in recent years. —Bryan Cook
