Big Reno Gun Show- November 5-7, 2010

[gglovesguns]

Lou from the Big Reno Gun show has donated another free table for us in the lobby. This is the third show in a row that he's done this for us!  Who can staff the table? I have to work on Friday, but I can be there Saturday. I have church on Sunday. Thanks for pitching in guys and gals!

[desertrat144]

I'll take the Friday watch and bring some display rifles.  Does anyone have spare AQTs, or Red Coats?  I'll take care of the 'check in' process on Thursday.  I believe we will have power again- $&(^$ scooter batteries again! 

I'll need Real Names- first & last for the passes.  Post here, or PM me as your comfort level allows.

Two things re this show:
    Adaptive Appleseed (qualified under The Adaptive Appleseed Manual)  & Husbands of Deployed Wives having Guest Status at AS, and
    Did Lou & family get invites to upcoming N.NV Appleseeds?

I've got several AQT's & Redcoats & should be able to help out on Saturday, but I need to confirm (I'm getting pulled into an extra day of work every week lately -  )

I don't have much in the way of promotional materials, aside from the items we put in shooter packets.

Don't complain, you're doing better than a lot of folks having a solid job.  PM me, we will need to figure out how to get them transferred  so I set them up Friday.  I'll make sure there's power to charge my batteries.

Do you know if Lou & family received anything (invites, formal Thank You's, &c.) from Appleseed?

Tom

Thurs.- Tom will pick up passes & table info.

Fri.: Tom (as long as he lasts), ____{your name here}_____

Sat.: GG, Chris H (?), ____{your name here}_____

Sun.: ____{your name here}_____

Question still unanswered: Was Lou given a 1. Certificate of Appreciation from AS, and 2. A pass to one of our Seeds?

Yes, Balddragn presented him with a free Appleseed pass made by Eaglescouter at the last show. If you want to bring a thank you card or something along those lines, it sure can't hurt!

Chris, what pulled me into AS was a gentleman at a gun show passing out info from the shooter's packets. It got me hooked and I brought Mr. GG with me! I have plenty of National Trifolds I can bring with me on Saturday.

I have a bunch of the Trifolds (compliments of gg) that I can give to Chris this coming weekend at the G'ville Appleseed.

I'm putting more packets together this evening, & will set aside a bunch for the show.

Great! I'll see what I can come up with, this is one door we definately want to keep open.  The banner arrived yesterday, so we are good there.  For Fri. I'll bring a display '03, and with a bit of luck we will have the same area so we hang a 25M target again.

Hey there- we are 3 days out of registration- I still need a real life name- First & Last for one female & male that will be at the BRS.  Send to desertrat144@hotmail.com please.  This is needed for the passes that go with the table; that way you can get into the Show to look around.

I'll see if I can guilt talk someone into Sunday.

hahaha, Thanks!!

[BaldDragn]

Polygunner and 30 Cal Sleeper will be up in Reno on Sunday. Mike will be on a mission to find that special treasure that must be hiding in a pile of old parts inside but I bet Lisa can be "talked" into sharing the table.

[polygunner]

We'll be there on Saturday.
Sunday is when we get to help 30 cal's brother move
We do have a ton of tri folds we'll bring.

OK folks, the show is here.  Just to keep it interesting, there seems to have been a bunch of changes that no one knew about.  The show is on, but I will need help & handouts Friday.

Tom,


There were trifolds left over from when we were there in the summer. Pollygunner is bringing a new box, but on Saturday. Give a shout out to Nevada for help!

I was told to swing by to get a feel for how the table operates, but apparently the later shift for today didn't show and the early shift volunteer left. What do I need to bring Sunday and is there a guide/other information for volunteering? Figured I'd just go off what I read on the site and what I've learned at the appleseed I attended.

I can bring a laptop and provide my own internet access, and I have fresh AQT's and a shot redcoat. Anything else I need? Will brochures be left over from Saturday?

[desertrat144]

I set up at 7:30 this AM; as usual Mickey was busier than ever.  I had to split at 15:00- starting to crash.  The show was productive, we are next to CA Rifle & Pistol Assoc., their Admin to boot.  They want to hold some sessions with us.

One major change- no more free passes to the show.  The banner is folded over the table, and everything below it, along with various instruction & ideas.  Nothing can be on the floor overnight.

As far as the show goes, wear any AS clothing you have, and bring an open mind- you'll have a ball.

Re: the LT, you won't need internet access, unless you want to surf.  There is power [for my scooter to charge], so be discrete with the cords.  Any extra targets & brochures never hurt.

   It seems the whole weekend was productive. GGlovesguns, polygunner & 30 Cal Sleeper were there Saturday. They handed out a mess of tri-folds, as well as ALL of the materials I gave Ashley last week (targets & a few selected items form our shooter packets.)

   c4v3man & I were there all day today, and while it was slower than either other of the other days sounded, we also had a fairly productive day. We saw several previous Appleseed attendees, about a dozen interested folks who took up information & also got leads on contacts for several ranges around the area. A productive weekend indeed!
