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.
-
ill be there like usual!!!

Great. I am pretty sure wardog will also help us out again this year.

I'm in for an 8 hour shift. I'll do the seminar if we get a slot (Or Rob Harris can do it, if he'd like -- he does it better!)

Well I am still working on getting a seminar that weekend. Have to call Monday to discuss it with the person in charge of those things.

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.

The same 8 hours the seminar is in.

Ok assuming I get a slot to hold it, I will put you down around then.

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

FIFY

Not sure what "FIFY" actually means lol. However as to being close to the main event, I am working to have it that weekend. Do you have any preference to a day or time? If so, plese tell me so I can take that into consideration when I talk to them again.

As far as best time, the best time is the closest available time to the NRA's biggest event/presentation.
-
Thanks for the clarification on both points ;)
-
If Wayne L has a speech scheduled 2p-3p on Saturday, I'd ideally want 3p-4p on Saturday!
-
Will see what I can do boss. lol

Do you still need help that weekend?
Yes we do. Please PM Ezerharden with your contact information and the time frame that you'll be available to assist.
Thanks for helping out!
-
I emailed him, I look forward to helping out. Its a bit far but I want to try to attend as much as I can. I hope some events come closer to home too.

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.
-
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.
-
Still have room for more at the table both days if interested.
-
Due to a cancellation, we have a slot open from 10am to 2pm on Sunday, 2/10/13. Anyone interested?
-
I live in the Lansing area, and because of a two hour drive, the soonest I could be there is 2:00 PM on a Sunday. So that doesn't work out very well. :(
-
Well you are welcome to stop by anytime, even if just to say hi and shoot the breeze a little.

I'm definitely available from 10am-1pm on 2/10/13, not sure if I can stay until 2pm, depends on if I can find someone to watch the kids
-
Thanks, will put you down for it. See you there.

sounds good. send me a text a day or 2 before so i don't forget lol

I was planning on going to cabelas on the 9th anyways, seems even more interesting now. Id volunteer to help, but I'm nowhere near as educated on the topic as you guys, maybe next time Ill be of more use! Haha.
-
Well even if you come and sit at the table with us, you will learn more. Plus it is an excellent time to pick brains. Be careful picking Onnies though, he can't spare much :P

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.

Looking forward to having you hang out with us for little while.
-
Sounds good to me. I'll be looking forward to meeting a few of you, As long as everything works out and I can make it down there! It'll be the day after my 18th birthday, ill expect cake ;)
-

Thanks. Happy to have a chance to finally help out a little

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:
-
Great job on the flyer, Mike.
-
Thanks, I try lol
-
Looks good!
-
I haven't got my February work schedule yet, once I do I'll see what times I can volunteer.
-
You would be welcome anytime. ;)
-
This is coming up this weekend, isn't it? Have shifts been published yet? I haven't received mine…
I will be helping out with the "buyback" in Lansing. Therefore I would be available from 1 PM until close on Saturday. That is what I have been planning on working

I believe the shirts are either $15.00 or $15.90. What size(s) were you looking for?

TheQ, Still need those email sign up sheets emailed to me.

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.
-
Any restrictions on carry? Just want to make sure.

Think we'd hold a table where there was? (Without extended and heated debate)

Cool. Thanks for the reassurance. I don't have a time slot but I'll be there as early as I can on Saturday and will likely stay most of the day.
-
The more the merrier ;D
-
It never occurred to me until now, but it would be nice if you had several hundred full-color MOC Newsletters to give out to passers-by.
I could have supplied those, too.
Dang.
-
Well we will be there at 8am if you want to drop them off ;)
-
Can't do it, but perhaps you can give out the URL.
People like free stuff.
-
Well Onnie and I are here and talking to people. Hopefully we gain many new members.

It went very well, even after TheQ showed up ::) . We had a lot of questions, passed out a ot of information (had to have more prints run out to us) and sold many shirts and registered a few new members. Hoping tomorrow goes as well.

Hell with the size of the two of us we are already 4 of a kind lol. Just think, that will be you in the picture tomorrow ;)

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.
