We got there a little bit late (10 min) and the place was packed. They said they had at least 100 people waiting at the door at 8 am. Both parking lots were filling up.

We had four people talking to and signing up members, and sometimes that was not enough. At one time, we had eight new members signing up at once. It took a while to get more members than donated dollars, but we finally passed it around 6 p.m.

People are starting to realize what is at stake, and what we have to gain or lose, depending on our actions. Go get 'em!

That is the spirit, pull out the stops, use whatever you need to sign members up. Good luck today guys, I hope you beat our number.

Sorry TerryLane, I forgot your name when I got home last night. I was dead tired, just slept 11 hours and now I am still beat. It was nice to meet you and your wife.

WOW!!!  Awesome job, guys!

I am so sorry we didn't make it out there, really wanted to and was planning on coming out today but I had a family issue come up that quite honestly was just flat out more important to me. One of those things...

Great job as usual everyone, and I will definately see you all out at the picnic.

Thanks again for everything that you all do for this organization (you all know who you are!)

Today's turn out at Cabela's was disapppointing, and we only signed up about 43 new members. The traffic in the store was pretty slow.

I guess we can crown LitlRat and huskergun champions in the recruiting battle.

We did draw two winners in the Gift Card raffle, and I will see to it that the prizes are mailed out this week.

Due to the low number of sign ups today, we decided to draw one winner from Saturday and one from Sunday.

Thanks to Chris Z, AAllen, Pink_is _just_a_color333, Rem870Exp, and Gunscribe for helping out today

370 new members is a victory for all of the NFOA. I know what it is like to have a rough day in recrutiing, but 43 is great, maybe there will be that one special member who you guys signed up who will take the ball and run with it, it may turn out to be a 1000 member boost.

Kearney is having one of these next weekend. I will contact the store and see if I can get a table for saturday, anyone want to help out?
