If we have enough volunteers that can make it to this show, I'll try to get a table for us.
90% chance that I will not be able to attend.

I will be there Rickie. We need another volunteer, very short drive from Lincoln.

Hey Rick, I suppose I should jump into this at some point. I could help on Sunday unless something less important comes up. Of course being new to the recruiting detail I would need a good mentor to show me the ropes.
Besides I need to go if I want to buy that Mosin Nagant for my collection.

It may be Saturday that I would be available. I guess it's best said I will let you know as time gets closer.

I'm planning on helping on Saturday, but I will know for sure when it gets a little closer.

I Will be there , I say definitely get us a table. I have the sign and a bunch of signup sheets and stickers and the material from the lincoln show to use. Unless littlrat will be bringing materials.

Also I have a 3:00 thing every sunday so would need to be wrapping up at 2:30-2:45ish which I don't think should be a problem.

SBarry · « **Reply #5 on:** October 22, 2009, 08:38:42 PM »

Bring the sign up sheets, I'll bring the tickets, and a banner. Anyone talk to Dave about a free table yet?

I can work the show. Prefer Sunday but Sat. will work if you need me then.

SBarry · « **Reply #7 on:** October 25, 2009, 07:19:33 PM »

I have the table lined up, any time you can help it will be appreciated.

Anyone else who can help out, let me know. JesseT and I will be there, hope to have more company.

There might be someone there who has signed up a few members.

Dave Krecklow is donating a table to us at the entrance of the show, right next to the admission table. This will be an ideal spot to sell raffle tickets and sign new members up. We will need 2 to 3 members at the table at all times. I will have three tables of my own where I will be selling tickets and signing up members that bypass the front table. I need to know we will have members there to help, so I don't look like a fool.

IM me if you plan to be there. I will bring the banner, tickets, paper cutter, pins and sign up sheets. All you need to do is show up and be ready to talk to people.

JebM and Eagle1 will be there sunday, I still need one or two volunteers for saturday. Come on people, I can't do it alone. Just 20 minutes from Lincoln or a little over an hour from Omaha, easy interstate and highway drive, free admission to NFOA table workers.

Step up, we have tickets to sell and a message to convey.

I bet Jeb and I can sign more new members on Sunday than the Saturday crew.
If not I will buy you a beer in Seward after the show on Sunday!

Hey I said I'd be there what am I, chopped liver?

I'd rather not work both full days but my schedule is open, just would like to get SOME work done around the house this weekend...

Sorry, we are still trying to get finished up with our move and our remodel project, and on top of that harvest is WAY behind and it's not going real great for my Dad, so I'll be in a grain truck every free minute I can possibly come up with for a while.

We are REALLY looking forward to getting the chance to make it to some shows though. Working the NFOA table is a lot of fun for us.

Game on, let's raise the stakes, though.

JebM · « **Reply #15 on:** November 03, 2009, 09:37:47 AM »

Rat and Eagle1 are making me nervous! Neither one us has worked the table before and now I'm in on a bet against Rat, the recruiting GURU! Talk about pressure!

SBarry · « **Reply #16 on:** November 03, 2009, 10:02:36 PM »

Let's put it this way Jeb, bring your checkbook. Honestly I hope you guys out-do us, we all benefit that way.

Dan W · « **Reply #17 on:** November 03, 2009, 10:38:15 PM »

I will work Sunday noon to close.

Eagle1 · « **Reply #18 on:** November 03, 2009, 11:10:44 PM »

Well Jeb, with Dan helping Sunday I think Rat might be buying the beer and peanuts.

reminds me of the Pakistanis who lived in the dorm room next to me in 90-91. Always playing "The king of wishful thinking", over and over and over.
