MGO members, Forum users, family, friends & guests, there is no charge for anyone, all are to attend, yes bring the kids, so be sure to include everybody that will be coming with you.

You only need to be a paid MGO member to vote, Voting MGO members please bring your membership card with you, it really helps out the election committee, looks like they will have a lot of work to do this year!!

There will be a drawing again from the pool of voting members for a gun this year HOWEVER " You Must Be Present to Win" for the " Henry Golden Boy .22 lever action rifle" Drawing at the Annual Meeting!

NEW If you voted by mail, but decided to come out to the meeting after all before the vote is counted, At about 1pm, be sure to notify the election committee chairman to let him know you are there, you can only vote once of course, but you can get an entry to the drawing.

There maybe additional Drawings and door prizes open to all.

This year we will again have the meal catered, the same Chef as last year so you know it will be great!! details will be added as we nail things down.
Anyone who would like to bring a side to pass or dessert it would be most welcome and appreciated, just let us know in the thread.


I am adding a poll to this post so everything stays in one thread, it has multiple options, Please take a look and as you make plans to attend take the poll to help us out.
After you take the poll, if anything changes just post in this thread and I will adjust accordingly.
As we get closer to the event we will have a cut off date to the poll, It will be announced in plenty of time for you to be counted.

NEW I am adding a choice to see how many are interested in having a swap table, we will try it again this year. Looks like there is no response to this, so nothing official is set-up If you want to bring somthing to swap or sell bring you own table.
This is also a Fun shoot Post 46 has a fine outdoor range, rifle & pistol, unlike many ranges lead and steel ammo are good to go, so you can bring Wolf & Tula and handloads but no FA. Smoke-poles welcome!

We are looking into having a few casual shooting competitions, stay tuned!


NEW I don't want to steel anybody's thunder, so I'll save it for tedalton to announce at the meeting, but I will just say this if you want in, be sure to bring a hand gun and target ammo to participate in a special event MGO has added to the range!

Calling on MGO RSO's to step up and volunteer at this event, we will be using at least 2 ranges and need the help, did I mention free food!
Contact, tedalton- Fun Shoot Boss or SeeTee

Time to get out from behind the As always this is a free event!! This is a non Alcohol event!

Check back often, I will be updating this op as details firm up, I hope to see a big turn out for this event!!

We can use a few volunteers to help with the event, setting up, getting things ready, some odds & ends that will need help during the event and clean up after the event, nothing should take too long at any point through out the day, just some helping hands along the way would really be great, Please post or pm me if you are willing to help out, TIA!!!

For volunteers willing to help with setup, nothing hard just odds & ends to take care of as the need comes up, tedalton & I should be there about 9am, but not earlier, so anytime after that is fine.

NEW This year I will not be preprinting name tags, I have about 60 or so from no shows sitting around so I am done with that, there are a very few unused from past events I will bring so look to see if you have one printed already before you fill one out.
Please stop at the check in table and sign in, fill out a name tag, screen name and please add your first name at least, last name is up to you, also if you have guests with you please have them fill out a name tag & use the guest marked name tag for them.
I'll just say this from long experience on this, please use the sharpie provided and print legibility, script and or scribbling service no purpose, thank you for cooperation on this.

We will have the MGO banner at the entrance to Post 46, it will be on your right coming from the south, it will be easy to spot.

As a public service announcement it has come to my attention that their are plans to broadcast live this entire event to the internet by Jackam, I quote " I will broadcast the July Meeting in its entirety. The meeting, the eats, the vote count, the gun giveaway, the firing range - everything that people that couldn't make it would want to see. "

If you think this is a great idea or not a great idea, I thought it best to let people planning to attend that their image may end up live on the internet, where, when, how long it may linger there, I have no information.

So start a thread, make a post tell Jackam or the MGO BOD how you feel if it matters to you one way or another.

Heck yeah Carl! Sounds like it's going to be another great time. If you need help with set-up, let me know and I will get there early.

[thamm]

I will be there early to help with setup, and I will help RSO.

"May the wings of Liberty never lose a feather."

[dmd7765]

Firearms Legal Protection (Terry Johnson) will also be doing a presentation on their services.

[mikeb32]

Carl, Please Plug Terry Johnson's name in there, say at 1:30 ish.

[elwarpo]

I am in +1 and can RSO. I will also bring a side.

[dramey82]

SeeTee thanks for the link to this thread, might as well bump it while I'm here.

[Fuzzbutt]

Clearly I'll be there.

Before and After my duties are finished I can help with anything I need to help with. I have no problem RSO'ing either.

OP updated.

I thought it best to let people planning to attend that their image may end up live on the internet, where, when, how long it may linger there, I have no information.

IF it happens, it would be available to view for 24 hours max, and as Jackam stated, that could be changed to available ONLY for the live broadcast, if so desired.
