All Members: NFOA needs your help
« on: March 18, 2009, 01:43:11 PM »
The NFOA will have a table at the Hastings gun show this weekend, March 21, 22. 
We will be there to answer questions, sign people up for memberships, sell raffle tickets(for a 91/30 Mosin-Nagant)(raffle canceled), etc. There will be 3 or 4 board members there(including myself), but we'd like to enjoy the show as well.  We would really appreciate some help from other NFOA members to help us man this table during the show both days.  If anyone would like to volunteer to help out for an hour or so, post in this thread so we can get an idea of how many volunteers we will have and how to schedule things throughout the day.

Hey guys it wasnt alot of help I gave but it was fun. Nice to meet all of you and beable to put a name with a face. My son asked when I got home if I had bought anything besides ammo and when I told him no he said it was kind of a waste of a long drive. I told him about you guys and some of the stuff that went on and he changed his mind.I also talked him into joining. Thanks for the fun day.

Wow what a long weekend....

Jay and I would like to start out by saying a big thanks to Rich B, FarmerRick and MtnCrash1 for their time and support during the Hastings Gun Show. It was great to meet and hang out with you guys and the help was greatly appreciated! Getting NFOA noticed is a team effort and we had a great team representation there....way to go!

It was great to meet the NFOA members that stopped by the table to introduce themselves. It is always great to put names with faces and to get to know some of the people that are as passionate about this cause as we are.

I spent this weekend being able to talk and talk and talk and talk with many gun owners that share the same thoughts and concerns as we do. Contrary to the anti's views - gun owners are a great bunch of people and I enjoyed hanging out with you all this weekend.

The traffic at our table was sometimes hectic, but I would like to welcome all of the new NFOA members that I met and encourage you to pass the word about NFOA to everyone you know that is a proud Nebraska gun owner. Thank you! Chime in here and let me know you made it to the forums.

I can't wait to run into you all again and I look forward to the next show!

I won't be able to make it to Kearney or Crete, but I am going to call tomorrow to see if I can get a table at the next show in Fremont coming up in May.

Maybe somebody headed to those shows could print some flyers and hand them out while they are there.

Re: All Members: NFOA needs your help **Kearney Gun Show**
« Reply #11 on: March 31, 2009, 08:47:50 AM »
OK, it looks like the next show I think we will be set up at is the Kearney, NE show on April 18 and 19.  I believe that Rich B. will be there, so if anyone else is going to attend, I'm sure he could use some help.  Please post here if you will be attending and can help do some recruiting.

I will have a table at the RK show in Fremont May 16 and 17.  I'll be selling a few guns, and a bunch of parts and accessories, along with handing out NFOA fliers and signing people up.  If anyone would like to stop by and help out for a while, that would be great.

I will be there of course, passing out fliers and sending people over to the NFOA table. See you there.

I think Rich had something come up and won't be able to attend. I haven't heard from anyone else that could set up a table, and Kim and I can't make it out there for this one unfortunately.

Rick, we'll see you in Fremont if not before.
