I just left a message to try to get a table for us. If we can't get one, I guess I'll just stand by the entrance with a clipboard.

I'm going to try to get down there on Saturday, could use a bit of help that day and maybe a couple people to sign people up on Sunday.

Any volunteers???

i may be able to help on that sunday..... granted i don't have to work. when do i have to let you know?

Rick, I normally am always at that show, but I will be in Colorado testing out that new Reciprocity thing that weekend

That is also the weekend for North Platte gun show. I may be there signing people up if I can't find someone to do it, but it looks like I may have found someone to. Randy May is going to help at Brule and maybe Alliance, we will hit 2000 sometime soon. This is the weekend to hit 2000 guys, do you want to be a part of this effort? Columbus and Norfolk are still wide open for someone to get involved.

Rick, I will volunteer to help sign people up and promote the group on Saturday.

I don't know that I have the in-your-face-attitude and character but I will give it my best shot.

Not sure yet, but I might be able to help out at the Lincoln Show.

FarmerRick · « **Reply #8 on:** September 10, 2009, 01:47:04 PM »

95% chance we'll be getting a table. Sounds good so far!

I'll check with the Mrs. to make sure we don't have anything going on that weekend but I'd be willing to help for a few hours on one of the days.

It's fun and a challenge, once you get rolling.

I probably only had 5 out of 80 to 100 or so at Cabela's that flat out rejected joining up. Had about 10 that took a flier to do some more checking on us.

I'm hunting on saturday and have a big church deal all day sunday, so I'm out.

FarmerRick · « **Reply #12 on:** September 16, 2009, 10:19:01 AM »

Looks like we should be ok for Saturday, we could use a couple more members to help on Sunday.

Having 2 people working the table is good, 3 is great.

RobertH · « **Reply #13 on:** September 16, 2009, 07:51:58 PM »

how long and what time would we have to be there to help out?

FarmerRick · « **Reply #14 on:** September 16, 2009, 09:36:54 PM »

It's usually busiest between 10 and 2, but anytime would be appreciated.

RobertH · « **Reply #15 on:** September 16, 2009, 10:42:17 PM »

i can only volunteer on sunday since i work on saturdays.

i gotta hang out with the fiance that afternoon, so im sure i can get the morning shift.

anyone else going to help out? and when do i get my crash-course in what to say?

Does the facility allow CCW?

They will be now...

I just got off the phone with Ron Stover, the Lancaster Event Center Managing Director.
http://www.lancastereventcenter.com/management.html

I asked if they had the "no guns" signs up, he said they did have them up, but were doing some remodeling and took them down. I stated that having the signs up could lead to lower attendance at the upcoming gun show. He said he would leave them down for the show, and most likely for good. I thanked him, told him the members of the NFOA appreciate it.

See, all it takes is a phone call, or letter, or email. Imagine what we could accomplish if each member made just one call or sent one email per week to a business that has "no guns" signs on their door.
