We are in need someone to get in contact with Len Clark to see if we can arrange to get some space at the show, and to recruit for new NFOA members over that weekend.  Ranger 04 is printing fliers with membership applications on them as I type this, but he works weekends and will be unable to be there.

Is there someone in the Columbus area that would like to step up to help us out?   If so, please post here, or email me.

Thanks!!

Come on guys. FarmerRick, LitlRat, Me (huskergun), Chris, Dan W, AAllen and his 13 year old daughter and others put in well over 9 hours each at Cabelas this weekend trying to get membership up and move this organization forward. We brought in almost 400 new members and some good donations. We can not do this by ourselves. We need more people willing to step up and and take a stand. Time to step up to the plate.

Sorry, I would have already spoken up, but I might be out of town that weekend, still waiting to hear. I don't mind putting in a weekend's worth of work when I can, but as some here know, the last couple of months have been pretty rough for me.

We enjoy getting a hotel room, working the show during the day and meeting people for a few drinks in the evening, kind of like a mini vacation for us, but life has been in the way lately... trying to rectify that as we speak.

If I am not going out of town, I will be happy to work the show. Will let you all know as soon as I get confirmation one way or the other.

Thanks for stepping up to the plate, guys.

If for some reason I can't get in to Brule's show, I will be there. I need to hit Brule, too many people out that way who have not heard of us yet.

For the Columbus Show, I had 200 flyers printed up today. I have to work, but will deliver them as I am working security at the gun show on Friday. The flyers will be set up on a table at the entrance where people pay to get in and have firearms checked.  I have signs made up to mark the road to Country Shadows, Looking forward to meeting everyone the 30th!

AAllen was going to try to go up there for at least a few hours, but he's been under the weather.

Can anyone else help us out?

Evidently we are going to be a no-show at Columbus. I will see if Lance of Performance Enhancement Systems and Brian of Dragon Stix will sign a few people up. They have helped some before.
