I need someone in Law Enforcement to assist me in this class. PM me if you can help. I asked USFS Mt Hood and they replied that that's a busy weekend for recreation and they can't spare the staff. Anyone have connections you can refer my way? It really helps to have LE back us up on this (credibility and solidifies the message). Meanwhile, I'll check with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Dept.

While we're on the subject of needs, I also need a projector for this class. I find that Sportsman's W, in Happy Valley, does not have a projector in house. I'll need to bring one. I have the HDMI cable and will hook up to my laptop, but just need to borrow a projector for Sat. (One day, I'll be able to buy our own projector and won't need to worry about it. Several venues don't provide it and it'd be a good idea to have one on hand as I'll be teaching this class quite often at several different places).

If you know of one available to lend for a day, let me know! Otherwise, I'll bite the bullet and rent one, but the show will go on! Thank you!

I attended the class you held at Sportsman's Warehouse in Vancouver and will say I thought it was very informative and educational. Being a new resident in Vancouver the information you provided along with the information from the officer was very helpful. This class is well worth attending! Thank you!

Would like your help spreading the word about this Info Class. It's for new shooters and those who have questions. Come see how to best protect our privilege to shoot on public land!

Thank you!

Still looking for some help in this class. The class is only an hour but with set up & take down, plan on two. I'd like to have an LEO help with the talking points and someone to help with the sign-in/video camera operation (I'll have a camera & tri-pod set up but would like someone to pan back n forth and zoom in once in a while).

Also need help in spreading the word about this class. We need to reach as many shooters as possible if we're going to make a difference in public land recreational shooting.

Thanks!

Officer Ross Gamboa, USFS Law Enforcement, will be joining me in this class.

I'm still looking for someone to help with sign-in and camera opts.

This class is all about respect when recreating on public lands. Respecting our privilege, our natural resources, the rules, the sport, the habitat, the right to bear arms and respect to others who recreate in our great outdoors.

Come see what it's all about, this Saturday, May 26th at Sportsman's Warehouse in Happy Valley, OR. Class runs from 1 to 2 PM.

I'm still looking for someone to help with the sign-in and monitor the video camera (a simple pan back and forth and a zoom or two every once in a while).

I also need a projector, however, I think Sportsman's in Vancouver will let me borrow theirs for the Happy Valley gig. (Gonna have to buy one someday because not all venues will have one to use).

If you can attend and would like to help out, please let me know. I can do it myself, but, it helps to have someone else there who cares about what we're doing.

Thanks,

Bill

Class starts at 1 PM! Wish us luck that we have a good turn out! Store will be real busy because of the holiday weekend sales and their promotions. We'll be upstairs.

Encourage someone to attend and become part of the solution. We're restoring our roots in the forest!

Thanks All, Bill.

@Cogs this class fell off my radar but put me down to help out for the next one, July 28th. Is there a printable flyer for this class?

 

[Cogs]

Thank you, Kristina. No flier yet. I'll get you one when they're ready. I usually announce and start promoting the class about a month before the event.

Will let you know! Thanks for the help!
