If we have enough volunteers that can make it to this show, I'll try to get a table for us.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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