Yeah Wooddust I' m on our committee also, we have our banquet coming up the 6th of June, can' t hardly wait. Right now we are in the process of trying to grow our committee mainly to sell more tickets. Man I would love to win that Win. model 94 lever action .410. Is Larry Neil your regional director also? Where do you live in Mo. and when is your banquet? I can' t give you many pointers on what to do since its just the 2nd. year for our chapter but one thing we are doing different this year is selling tickets on the gun of the year and the Jakes gun before the night of our banquet, last year we just tried selling them during our banquet and did' nt get all of them sold, this year it looks like we might. I have sold about 25 banquet and membership tickets along with 1 sponsor so far and think I will sell anoter 10 or so before the 6th. Good luck and I hope you have a suscessful banquet.

I talk with a few turkey hunters that don' t care much for the NWTF mainly cause they work so close with the conservation dept here in Mo., I just try and explain to them that if it was' nt for the Cons. dept and the NWTF we might not have the wild turkey to hunt, that has worked for me in persuadeing some them to join.
