Event at Cabelas (La Vista) Feb 4-6 *Help Needed*
« on: February 01, 2011, 02:28:51 PM »
Who can volunteer to help out?

The NFOA and the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club will be working together at Cabelas for a "Friends of the NRA" event.  We will be sharing a table at the entrance of Cabelas in La Vista this coming weekend, the 4th, 5th and 6th of February.

We will be working together to sign up new members for both the NFOA and the NRA.  Tickets to the Friends of the NRA banquet will also be sold.  

This is a great opportunity for us to:

- show how the NRA and State level organizations complement one another.

- Make the NFOA's accomplishments known.

- Educate the public on current legislative issues, and our position on those issues.

- Let people know about our upcoming "Lobby the Legislature" Day.

_______UPDATED___________

OK, Here is what I have so far for the schedule.

Friday:
9 am til Noon - RobertH
Noon til 3pm  - NEBull

3pm til 8pm - Need help


Saturday:
8am til Noon - Wesley
1pm til 7pm  - OmahaRJ

Need help still from Noon til 1pm and 7pm til 9pm Saturday.


Sunday:

10am til 6 Ron
10am til 4:30pm - JimP

I'm heading out to Four Rivers Sportsman's Club's banquet in Hastings Saturday evening, but I'll work Saturday morning from 8am-12pm.

For anyone volunteering, remember to wear your NFOA t-shirt if you have one!  ;)

Thanks for everyone that has volunteered so far.  I have updated the first post with the schedule to show who which time slots have volunteers and where we still need help.

I will be dropping off materials in the morning and will try to coordinate  picking up the materials each evening.

I will be there when I can Saturday morning and Sunday, even though my name isn't on the schedule.

Who can help fill the holes in the schedule?  We have a great turnout so far, just a little more and we can have excellent coverage for this.

I can stay on Sunday til it ends Rod.  I have a few things I need to pick up while there (and I'm sure I'm not the only one  :) ), but nothing that cant wait until after 6.

i just got home from spending a few hours there.  the NRA guys were from the ENGC and they signed up quite a few people (including me) and i signed up about 8 people.  some people took our flyers so hopefully we'll get some to sign up later.  the NRA/ENGC guys were pretty cool.  we talked about stories and they were pretty good about throwing it over to me after they got their memberships.

Good to meet you Robert, and the fellas from the NRA and ENGC. We had some great conversations not only amongst ourselves and customers. Got a few folks signed up. Had to leave at 3 to get kids from school, hopefully traffic picked up, the NRA guys were doing a bang-up job pushing our little group.
If things work out, I may be able to help out Sunday (footbal not my thing really).

Stopped in again today (was in the neighborhood)  Not sure why, the ENGC/NRA guys (who are BTW all NFOA member now too) were signing folks up before I could even get a word in.  This is turning out to be a pretty good deal for us, getting quite a few signatures and our name out there.
