March
3/1 SPAGHETTI DINNER AND AUCTION
The NW Wings auction is the one time of the year that we can hold a fund raiser in an effort to defray some of the cost we incur while performing for the public. The NW Wings do not charge for their performances and most of the cost for travel and lodging is paid for by the rider. We have been successful in keeping costs down for the riders by holding this early season party and auctioning off donated items to raise money for team expenses. In the past we have had, to say the least some unusual items that have been offered for Auction. One item that didn't sell but was a great source of amusement was a Vasectomy. We did sell a Root Canal offered by a local Dentist. All sorts of items, not just motorcycle related have been put on the block.
