Raising money for a WCI trailer
Given that we have several picnics in a year, and with whatever political events WCI attends, It’s my suggestion that WCI should have a trailer.
If WCI and the membership owned their own trailer, it could be filled with picnic supplies, like what’s already brought by WCI to picnics by Huber, along with tables, tents, and even our own WCI grill, and WCI merchandise, which would then be all in one place, you just hook up and go to the event fully prepared.
Most important part of part of having a WCI trailer would be to further let the public know about our movement and their right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose, and that this right shall not be infringed on.
I can visualize it now, and this is only a suggestion, anyone with other ideas are welcome, let us know on the forum.
Picture a new trailer with a large American flag painted on each side of the trailer, along with big letters painted over the flag stating something to the effect:
As member of Wisconsin Carry Inc. we defend our right to bear arms under the Wisconsin Constitution which gives the people the right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose, and to defend the right given by the United States Constitution which states that the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Where ever we go with the trailer for whatever reason, picnic or political event, the trailer would be along with, and the message on the side of the trailer (whatever wording is chosen) would be read by a lot of people, going to the event, at the event, and on the return trip and in turn, we would have a chance to educate citizens and law enforcement in the process, of our organization and to their constitutional rights.
I would volunteer to spearhead the movement to raise money to cover the cost of the trailer, paining the sides, and picnic items. I don’t know at this time how I would raise the money, but, together as members we should be able to come up some suggestions.
With permission of WCI to raise money for a trailer, we can work on raising money over this winter along with any member of Wisconsin Carry who would like to volunteer to help me raise money. The last time I raised money, I only had two weeks, and I raised $5,000.00, give me all winter, and help from the membership, I'm sure we could raise enough to money to purchase a new trailer, and have it painted by spring.
Let’s debate this on the forum, and see what the membership thinks, what kind of fundraisers we can come up with, and who might be available to help.
If we do this here are the conditions:
Each time we have an event to raise money, the money raised, would be immediately be turned over to a WCI officer to be held by WCI in their account until we have enough money raised to purchase the trailer and have it painted. In turning over the funds we prevent, a large amount of money being kept by any one member, and when we have enough money raised, it would allow WCI to purchase the trailer, thereby, in doing so, WCI would be the title holder which would give WCI and its membership ownership.
Nic, Huber or any other officers have any suggestion, kick this suggestion around, and let us know if we have permission to proceed, and make it happen, as I said, I’ll volunteer to spearhead this and begin the fundraising as soon as we have permission from WCI officers, and membership and hopefully, by spring, we would have enough money raised to purchase a trailer, paint it and fill it with picnic supplies, and WCI merchandise to sell.
