Title: Cabela's NRA weekend
Post by: Ezerharden on December 07, 2012, 01:56:16 PM
Ok, the dates for the NRA weekend at Cabela's in Dundee are Saturday Feb 9th from 8am to 9pm and Sunday the 10th from 10am to 6pm. We will have a table again this year so we need volunteers to help man it. I should be available for most, if not all, of it however we still need more people. We are asking for people to volunteer for 4 hour shifts or longer if they desire. We would prefer to have 2 people there at all times if possible.

Additionally we are trying to coordinate a seminar during the weekend as well. More on that as we get it. Thanks to Pat for helping with this endeavor.

MOC gets quite a bit of exposure from participating in this event with Cabelas. Even if you can't volunteer for a whole shift of 4 hours, your help would still be appreciated. Any MOC member can do this. There isn't anything special to do. In the past, I have found that most people just want to chat about OC in general. PM Ezerharden or me for details on how you can help out.

You just did. Thanks!

Send a Private Message (PM) to Ezerharden (Mike) letting him know what your desired time to assist would be. He's working out a schedule. And since this is a family event, don't forget to bring yours.

Talked to Cabela's and they are waiting for the NRA events that were scheduled to be forwarded to them. That is being finalized this week. I was asked to call back again next week, after Christmas to see about our seminar. I am hoping I will have some information for the Board at the membership meeting. Hopefully a time slot  ;D

As far as best time, the best time is the closest available time to the NRA's biggest event/presentation.

Oh, like Roseville? :)

Seriously, we can have an event as close to your home as you'd like. Contact CV67Pat and he'll get you on the road to helping get one setup.
Title: Re: Cabela's NRA weekend
Post by: rampage537 on December 22, 2012, 11:03:29 AM
Roseville is a little closer :) I am in Hazel Park will someone be at cabela's that I can talk to a little more about this? Either way I will still get ahold of CV67Pat.

Like Ezerharden has said, just come out and hang around for a while and watch. You'll get an idea of what we do and how we do it. You might even be able to provide some insight as to how to do things different and better. In the least you'll have a good time hanging out with some like minded people.

Ok,

I have a flyer here that i would encourage those who can to print and post where you can, i.e. community bulletin boards at stores, maybe at work if allowed, etc. Hoping it will generate more interest for the weekend and specifically our group. So here it is:

Please try to make sure no one gets away from the table without signing it.  I've found email is our #1 way to recruit new members once they have left our sight.  Each email we send out has a membership solicitation on the bottom.

A hearty Bravo Zulu to Ezerharden for the great job putting together this event on behalf of MOC. Not only did he coordinate the event, he manned it 100%.

Ezerharden is an exemplary member. We need a few more committed volunteers like him.

Anyone else want to help out? It's not hard. And a little effort goes a long way.

Send me a PM to find out how you too can help.
