OK, Never to early to start planning for this years fundraiser shoot. Will’s busy lining up sponsors/ auction items, it’s to early to let the cat out of the bag, but let’s just say, if we get what we think we are getting, the pistol to be raffled off could almost be worth what I have into the raffles to date (A lot!).

 Now the pitch:  I know it’s to far for a lot of the board members to show up in person, but now’s the time to start looking through your memorabilia and see if there is that one thing you could part with for the auction. Books, hunting/ fishing/ shooting/ reloading related items, hats, knives, anything helps. 100% of the raffle and auction money goes to the NRA legal Defense Fund, I’ll get some figures from Will, but to be sure, we have been contributing our fair share every year. I’d like some suggestions on how Message Board Members could participate,? I’m thinking maybe an online preview of the auction items, Bids could be called in or text messaged or something like that. Other ideas?

Thanks—

Al

THATS GREAT AL!
WHERE EXACTLY IS THE SHOOT GOING TO BE AT?
HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE AN AUCTION ITEM?
I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR THE FORUM MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO BID ON AUCTION ITEMS.
PLEASE TAKE US LOTS OF PICTURES OF THE SHOOT OR MAYBE SOME VIDEOS TOO!
ALL THE BEST

Although this is a secure area of the message board, I'm still leary about posting addresses and such. I'll PM you with the details and put you in contact with Will.
Thanks--
Al
