Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club in Orlando is having its annual Ladies' Day event on Saturday, March 28, 2015, and Appleseed will be there for the 2nd year in a row.
AAR from last year --> (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=40400.0)
Ladies' Day has been an annual event at CFRPC for many years. Last year was the first year that Appleseed was represented. The event and the Appleseed part of it were a great time and a big success (several families later attended Appleseeds at CFRPC based on exposing Mama to Appleseed at the event). The event format is one where the lady attendees rotate through (and shoot at each station) a number of disciplines and events. We get the ladies who stop by the Appleseed bay for about 10 to 15 minutes, which we used to give a mini-mini-Appleseed with safety briefing, shooting a square, and some history. Last year was a great time and a great way to spend the day.
Please PM me if you're interested in helping out, attending, or would like more information.
Can't volunteer for the AS station since I always work the Muzzleloader bay ;D
I would like to add that this event is an incredible opportunity to get a sampling of many different shooting disciplines. Participants do not need to bring any firearms, and there is only a nominal fee ($10 IIRC) to offset the cost of ammo. Participants get a goodie bag with hearing and eye protection and a card to keep track of what they shot (so they can brag about it when they get home).
Minors can participate, but must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Men can escort their children or significant others, but they cannot shoot, and are discouraged from kibitzing at the firing lines.
The event has sold out the past several years. I believe 2014 was the first year without walk-on registration, as too many were turned away the prior year. So, if any ladies wish to participate, they need to pre-register early. Registration and waiver instructions can be found here: http://www.cfrpc.com/ladiesday-main.html (http://www.cfrpc.com/ladiesday-main.html)
Registration opens Feb 28. See you there!
Bumping this up again. I'll be privately contacting people who helped out last year, but please (!) PM or email me if you'd like to participate, or would like to learn more about it and decide if you'd like to.
Bump again- we're only about 3 weeks or so out now. Please consider coming out and introducing the lady attendees to Appleseed!
As of now, it's just MrPete and myself, but we could really use at least 3-4 more people if at all possible.
RG and myself will be there. Got four loaners. Does the club provide ammo? What time do you want us and is the offer of a place to stay still open?

Excellent! Yes and yes to answer your questions. We'll have 22LR ammo provided and a bay again.
I believe the volunteer briefing is at 8am again, so we'd want to meet up there by about 7am to set up. I think setup will go faster as we can just set up the same deal as last year, and not have to figure it out.
I am In and will bring 3 loaners and a Cricket, You know for the Younger set.

Excellent! and thank you!
We now you, 9mm4545, Rambo Granny and me. We may lose Mr Pete to the high power section but will still have a great time.
Silly Question, does that mean We will be on the Same Bay as last Year?

I don't know, yet. Possibly but the event organizer hasn't distributed that level of detail yet.
Such events in New York are really common and I just love attending these events. I want to be there but due to some other pressing concerns I am not able to. Anyway thanks for keeping me updated.
Yeah Arnold, you are right that such events in NYC are really common. I also attend various events with my family and friends. Now my cousin is going to get engaged on Christmas day so she wants to make this day really enjoyable. She has given me the responsibility of making a list of the best event planner nyc (https://www.toshislivingroom.com/t/best-event-planner-nyc.php) and I am seeking some help for that. Please friends help me!!
