I might actually be able to make this one. I've been out of town (or country) on business for all the previous ones. I will RO the shotgun range or whatever. Do we need clays? Are they hand throwing or machine?

 

[jedi]

List has been updated we have all instructors and ROs slots filled.
If we get any additional help we can switch some people around to give some of the instructors a break.
What I still need is 1 to safety greeters. These folks will be at the registration table and go over the safety rules with the people and direct them to the various stations.

@bigrectic
DNR supplies all the clays and they have 2 machines. If you have a machine for a backup that is great. We have yet to ever need one but you never know. Hand throwers as well in case the machines break.

Thanks to a very generous donation by the VFW 1130 Friday Night Bingo we are up to 355 dollars soon. I will be appearing before the officers meeting for VFW 1130 on Monday and the Wall Gang at the legion in Michigan city on Tuesday to ask for more donations. I will also be going to our monthly meeting the first Tuesday of March to also ask for a donation. I really hope we agree on t shirts for the kids. I would like a 10 dollar donation for shirts at the youth shoot with 1/2 going to the DNR and the other to us for next year. I ask Jedi to please send me last years flyer so I can show what we are about as I talk about what we are doing.

I didn't see the shotgun range on the volunteer list.
And I didn't see father of actaeon on the list.

 

[black label]

@jedi, what am i instructing?

@1775usmarine, put me down for $20. I can give it to you at a m&e, or sooner if you need it.

 

[jedi]

.22lr rifle with supressor is the bench you will be on.
Kids will have zero to some experience with rifles.
Steel plated targets they will be hitting

 

[1775usmarine]

So we are now up to $375 for shirts thanks to another donation.

 

[1775usmarine]

My VFW post 1130 has made a generous donation of 100 to bring our total to 475. Please be so kind as to support these businesses. I know the VFW is a tax deductible charity and post 1130 can use any help for the vets of Laporte. We now have 4 businesses with my wife once she decides how much she will give. I would like to find 5 more. I need an answer asap if we will have shirts available for the kids and families to make a donation for with 50% of the donations going to the DNR.

Surely some INGO member knows some Knox, Bass Station, Winamac, etc. local businesses owners and has connections so these businesses can advertise and support their community. Not to mention benefit from their tax deductible contribution.

I don't believe our even is tax deductible, but if anyone knows a business don't be afraid to ask them for us. We all can do our part to help make this event better than the years past and every year till laws change, or attendance drops.

 

[2A_Tom]

Advertising is always tax deductible for businesses.

 

[1775usmarine]

My wife and her business threw in another 40 so now we are up to $515.

 

[bigretic]

Advertising is always tax deductible for businesses.

No, an expense write off is not the same as a deduction. Yes, any business can claim an advertising expense, but it does not have the same tax benefits as a charitable donation. Advertising expense is no different than buying toilet paper for the office crapper. It's an overhead expense.
