I understand how you feel. As a committee member who works on lots of functions such as yours in different areas such as DU, PFA, and few others I have see the same thing. People fold their ticket no matter if on the committee or not. And you are right winning 3 guns at one event and is a Regional person will not sit well with many many others. It will hurt your banquet even though the guy paid his money just like you and me.

Now NWTF.
I first joined quite some time ago and then sent a nasty letter asking them to not bother me again. Seems they kept sending me books, calendars, tapes, etc and charging me for it even though I did not order them. Got tired of sending things back and in my state since I did not solicit or order the items - it is mine to keep!

So that is what I did. Then NWTF kept sending me sorta threatening letters!

Finally sent them the state statute.

But I am a memeber again after all these years as the organization is worth while. However I have not received one item so maybe they have learned their lesson.
