Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club in Orlando is having their annual Ladies' Day event again this year Saturday, April 8th. We'd welcome any Appleseeders who'd like to come by to promote Appleseed at the event. (I'm a CFRPC member, I usually work the Appleseed bay at this)
Appleseed will have a bay where we'll do something similar to prior years, where the lady attendees will get a taste of Appleseed and will be able to shoot 22 rifles on the line. CFRPC will provide lunch and all the Gatorade you can drink during the day for all event volunteers, and will also be doing a couple of drawings for event volunteers to win a free Glock handgun. It's a fun time and has been pretty successful at promoting AS- we've had a couple of families later in the year attend an AS shoot after Mom liked what she saw of Appleseed at this event.
If you'd like to participate, please PM me or email me chiefinstructor2013 -at- cfrpc.com, and I'll provide when/where etc details.
If you're a lady who'd like to perhaps work part of the day on the AS bay and then participate in the Ladies' Day shooting as an attendee, we can gladly accommodate that, too. Ask TomM1Thumb about how well the drawings can go!
Xsquidgator,
Sign Me up. that is one fun event. When do the tickets go on sale? Just in case I can find an interested party!

Ladies' Day ticket sales will be announced here --> http://cfrpc.com/programs/ladiesday-main.html
Date/time not set yet, please check back at that URL frequently.
Each year, the 350 or so tickets they have sell out faster and faster. A few years ago, tickets sold out in a couple of days, last year they sold out in something like eight hours and the web traffic almost crashed our server.
Here's a secret by the way but I didn't tell you- if you want to come but the event is sold out, come work as a volunteer for a couple of hours. (not even a half day!) The Ladies' Day Coordinator (Yvonne) will be able to make a space for you somehow... but you didn't hear it from me :)

I will be there to help promote Appleseed/ladyseed! Sent you a PM Tom (xsquidgator)
Re meeting time for CFRPC Ladies' Day 2017 etc.
1) there is a Volunteer meeting that starts at 7am SHARP- please try to be at CFRPC by say 6.30 or 6.45 latest in order to park and walk to the Pavilion where sign-in is located.
You need to sign in, in order to get lunch from the club and to get entered in the volunteer prize drawings. A couple years ago, TomM1Thumb won a free Glock in this drawing, so be sure to be there and sign up for it!
2) PLEASE send me your full contact info that is name, email, and cell phone number.
I would prefer please to get that via email to wagneth@gmail.com.
I will pass that information on to Yvonne Caruso, the CFRPC Ladies' Day Coordinator.
Thanks to all of the Appleseed volunteers! I know we will again this year have a great showing from the RWVA, and I'd like to say that the club's board has passed on to me how impressed they were by that in previous years.
We just yesterday got approval from CFRPC to host a Ladyseed event there, probably in May, and this Ladies' Day event will be a great opportunity to promote that Ladyseed and Appleseed as well.
