I'm putting this up now before I get distracted by Hurricane Irma drawing a bead on the Sunshine State.
This is what's becoming an annual announcement for Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club (CFRPC) in Orlando - Ladies Day event.
CFRPC Ladies Day for 2018 will be Saturday, April 14th at CFRPC in Orlando.
CFRPC Ladies Day (http://cfrpc.com/programs/ladiesday-main.html) is an annual one-day event intended to introduce ladies of *all* experience levels to shooting and to shooting activities. Participants can try their hand at shooting every type of firearm, and can also try their hand at shooting activities like IDPA, IPSC, 3Gun, trap, etc and of course, Appleseed.
This isn't a "regular" Appleseed event, but in years past we've had great support from the Florida Appleseeders to run the Appleseed bay with some 25m rimfire shooting, history, and to promote Appleseed to the ladies who stop by our bay. Will you consider volunteering to help us with the event? All Appleseeders are welcome, and your efforts in the past have paid off by getting ladies and their families to attend subsequent AS events! CFRPC provides lunch and hydration to all volunteers, and will likely again be giving away several Glock pistols in drawings only for the volunteers!
Please save the date, and hope we'll see you at CFRPC Ladies Day 2018!
On my calendar, xsquidgator, to AC/RSO. Let me know if you need anything else done.
Bumping this up to the top again, as we're within about two months or so of the event.
If you'd like to come work this one-day event in Orlando, please let me know or contact the Ladies' Day Coordinator for the host range, Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club Inc. I'm a club member who's handling the "Appleseed Bay" for the club.
IMPORTANT- I'll be glad to keep a list of Appleseed volunteers, but you will need to register as a volunteer with this event through PractiScore. The organizer is using PractiScore to keep track volunteers and, for instance, to order lunch and other supplies for volunteers. If you're not in Practiscore, you won't get lunch, nor will you be in the prize drawing for volunteers! (in past years, the club usually gives away several Glock handguns, winner drawn from the list of volunteers. I don't know what the prizes are this year, but they're generally worthwhile :))
UPDATE: Register at --> https://practiscore.com/ladies-day-2018-volunteer-sign-up/register
or, search for "CFRPC Ladies Day" in PractiScore Clubs or Matches.
If you haven't worked this event before, we'll set up an 82 foot line and will be offering lady attendees the opportunity to shoot perhaps at a silhouette target and to get a taste of Appleseed. The club/host range will provide 22LR ammunition, but if you can bring a 22LR rifle to be put on the line, that would be great.

This is a really great event that brought out a bunch of ladies to our first Ladyseed in Orlando. It's a lot of fun! Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year due to a schedule conflict, but I highly recommend it!
Tom,
I will be there with a few loaners. If Grandma can come watch the baby, Erica will attend as well.
We have not missed a year of this, but it will be very iffy for us....will have to get closer to see if we have cleared the oath enough
