Title: Waterman IL April 19 & 20.
Post by: 2 clicks low on February 27, 2014, 05:01:25 PM
I have signed up as SB.

:sb:

Northern Illinois events have been lightly attended for a while. It is time to reverse that trend. Yes I know that the new CCW Laws have been sending students (and instructors) in other directions but it is time to regroup and get this state back on track.

I am looking for a few great instructors, from IIT0 to Master Instructor to join in making this the best Northern Illinois event in years.

I also need students. Talk to everyone you know and invite them. Anyone going to a gun show? Bring a stack of trifolds and hand them out. Stop  by your local gun shop and leave a stack of trifolds. If you are a member of a club, put it on the bulletin board and if possible in the news letter. Anyone a member of ASC? Can you get it in their schedule? How about their web site and/or mailer? I'm not sure who is in charge of promotions these days but can you contact ISRA and see if they can help promote?

I have heard rumors of the ability to email past students and invite them to events. Anyone know who practices such voodoo as I would like to avail myself of this.

No excuses. No  :pop:

2 clicks,

I have a family obligation that weekend and will be out of town. I have been hitting up some members of the ASC and will send out reminders and invites for the next several events. Saw a few appleseed attendees at some of the public events this year and made a case for a return visit with done friends/family. Will let you know what I can turn up.

Thanks to the SB's who sent me lists. With mine I sent out over 100 invites today.  :)

I currently see listed 1 IIT and 1 Student. :(

Yes I know it is Easter weekend but surely we can do better than that.  &)

I am from Crawfordsville, Indiana and will be in Illinois and would like to volunteer for the 19th. I also may be bringing 2 young ladies with me for the day. I am currently at an IIT2 progress check.  I look forward to being a part of your program for a day.

Welcome aboard Bald Eagle.
Please sign up via TIPS. Always glad to have more youngins, sign them up.
Bring your IIT2 and IIT4 PC. Let me know which strike or DOM you want to present.

Depending on the range usage (I expect it to be low on Sunday) we will go over to the 100 or 200 and slap some steel.

I now have 2 instructors and 6 students. Only need 8 more instructors and 34 students.
We now have momentum on our side so keep up the good work and keep selling this event.

Thanks

Welcome aboard Yogi. Is BooBoo coming? If so he should also bring the relevant PC(s) and a DOM.
S 1 is yours along with whatever DOM's you need to do.

Thanks

P.S. still need students.

At the moment it looks like you've got 3 orange hats working with you 2CL and eight students.

Iowa has two shoots that weekend but the "close" one for me is almost twice as far as Waterman.
Assuming it gets staffed I may be available if you want a somewhat rusty Red Hat to pitch in.

Thanks Miller.
Would love to have you, rust and all (#9 and steel wool fixes rust). But I would understand if Iowa needed you more. Please use your discretion and go where needed most.
