Any newbies from northern middle TN?

Hi All

If you are new to TGO, you might be interested in meeting some of your fellow members face to face. An event is coming up in Hendersonville on August 8 that fits the bill. There will be a TGO members table. Read on if interested.

Old Hickory Sportsmen Friends of NRA will hold their annual dinner & auction on Saturday, August 8, 6pm, Hendersonville High School, 123 Cherokee Rd in Sumner County. We represent Robertson, Sumner, & Trousdale counties.

We offer a fun evening for a great cause. Funds raised go to support NRA Foundation grants in support of organizations such as JROTC, Boy Scouts, 4-H, Eddie Eagle Gun Safety, and various scholastic high school shooting teams.

A few special notes about this year's event:

1) You can win a fantasy range shoot for two courtesy of TGO Authorized Vendor Hero Gear. This live auction item features the opportunity to shoot a variety of full-auto and supressed firearms. Lunch ammo, & t-shirt included. Your choice of one of two dates.

2) Door prize this year is a Walther PPS in 9mm, MSRP of $713.00. Door prize courtesy of event FFL Guns & Leather.

3) Country recording artist Tammy Allen will sing our National Anthem. She can really bring it!

4) We'll have raffle tickets for a drawing with the grand prize being the complete 2009 NRA merchandise package, including all 8 guns. $20.00/ticket.

We'll also have some of the best barbecue and cobbler in TN, games, prizes, live and silent auctions. 8 guns in the live auction! In the silent auction we will have a US flag that flew over a US base in Afghanistan. (With documentation provided.)

Best of all, I am working with TGO David to secure a TGO table at the event, so we can all sit together and get in at a discount. If you want to be part of the TGO table, PM me.

Online ticket sales and all the details are located here. Tickets are $30.00/ea, 2 for $50.00, or a table of 8 for $200.00.

We are also doing an exclusive TN Sponsorship option this year. Olympic Arms is making 3 of their AR platform rifles available for us to offer this opportunity: For a $1500.00 donation, you get your choice of one of three different long guns (rifle, carbine, or match) and an $800.00 tax deduction. The rifles have a MSRP of close to $1000.00, so you are getting the rifle for about $700.00 after the tax break. That's a pretty good deal. If you are interested in this, PM me.

This is a good time for a great cause, so come on out and join us!
