Our PAC needs to be prepared to participate in those races, the PAC Auction provides significant funding to the AGCMO PAC. Please take a moment to consider making a donation in 2018 - whether you donate an item or make a cash contribution. Our history of donated items is outstanding: special events, home decor, sporting events tickets, guided hunts, electronics, firearms, golf packages, golf accessories, framed prints, etc. We'll even shop for you!
