    We need a MINIMUM of 17 instructors/range officers to make this happen.
    As many of you are aware we have had our own internal debate going on since the last event about doing this event again due to the new DNR range rules. The rule of no OC/CC handguns on the range still stands. You can read all about why here. If you want to debate that topic do it on THAT thread. I need this thread devoted ONLY to who will help and donors.

    For those new to this event here is a link to our past events.
    The 6th annual event is here.
    The 5th annual event is here and it has links to all the prior years in post 1.

    ---
    So here is what we need to talk about right now.

    1) Can you volunteer?
    - We need firearms instructors to teach the kids (we can supply you with a .22lr longgun and ammo if needed)
    - We need skeet/trap operators and instructors
    - We need safety range officers to oversee each of the areas (4 to 5 ranges)

    Optional helpers
    - We need photographers
    - We need ammo runners (to take ammo to the various benches)
    - We need greeters

    ---
    You can't volunteer (in person) but want to help?

    The past 6 years INGO member have been kind and generous in donating ammo (.22lr mainly) for this event.
    Once again we need donations to make this even possible.
    - .22lr ammo mainly
    - .223 and 7.62x39 for the single 'big rifles bench'
    (does not matter if you are not in NWI we have members that go all over the state and can bring back your ammo donation)
    - money donations for t-shirts for the volunteers (d.kaufman is handling this for us this year)
    - plywood/money donations for the range itself

    Put me at the 50 as usual. My cousin she can either be on the 50 next to me or if she is any good at shotgun on the trap side. Will get a better answer in the coming few days.

    If anyone wants to donate or solicits any donations for the event to go towards the shirts you can pm me at anytime. I can take cash, personal or buisness checks, as well as PayPal friends and family or Chase Pay.

    I have $40 in cash that was donated at last years event to get us started.

    I'm usually .22 on the 25 yard.
    Dad is usually on the shotgun. Even if he was put somewhere else, he gravitates there.
    I can't remember where Adam was working last year. He volunteers wherever you need him.

    Keep me on the list. Maybe 25 yard range, one of the benches. June 8 turns out to be a busy weekend already. This is the third event planned for June 8, 2 volunteer events and one "me" event...

    If you get enough "definites" for the 25 yard range you can move me to one of the other positions.

    A couple of things that would be nice to have are rests for the rifles, sand bags or other supports and riser cushions for the seats.

    I have contacted a couple of people.

    I am also going to put a link in the downstate general discussion thread, since we had one volunteer from there last year.

    I have a sand bag. I just need to remember to bring it.
