Hi All~
The 2011 Gun Blogger Rendezvous is going to be held this year in Reno at the Silver Legacy. They are having a fund-raising raffle for Soldiers' Angels Project ValorIT. There will also be door prizes for the bloggers. I'd like to see if Nevada Appleseed can't donate items for the event.
Ideas for door prizes:
-Appleseed shirts
-Package of redcoats and AQTs
Ideas for raffle prize:
-A gift certificate to an Appleseed
Organizations who donate prizes are recognized on the blogs of all who attend the event and it might inspire influential gun bloggers who haven't gone to an Appleseed to get off their rear ends and go!
What do you think? Is this something we can do?

GG,
Can you get an estimate of how many bloggers will be attending?
Maybe we can sweeten the pot a little bit...

Going off of last year's numbers (I went; it was a lot of fun) there will be 20-30 different blogs represented at the Rendezvous. Door prizes will be for bloggers only, but the fund-raising raffle for Project ValorIT is open to bloggers, blog-readers and gun-nuts. The number of people there can be higher. I would guess last year, there were about 60 people at the raffle.
I've got plenty of promo materials, a fair number of targets we can put together as a "package", maybe a few other items....
I'm just starting to get another short bit of breathing room coming up, so I can likely help get some things put together... although I can't make up a gift cert myself... maybe NC?
Chris,
Before you give away all your targets, we need a bunch at the Gardnerville DAR. Primarily, Red Coats, 25 meter Qualification and Known Distance Qualification targets. :)

Let me know what you need. Willing to forward. Since there are only 25 bloggers attending perhaps we could make small box for each one.. including the items mentioned above. We might even be able to request supplies from the western warehouse rather than deplete our own.
All,
I have a 'special package' heading out to GG for the Rendezvous.
If you all can make up the bulk packages of targets, etc. it will save me a ton of money on shipping.
Please let me know ASAP,
HH
