This is far from being in the budget so keep in mind it would take A LOT of donations. If someone would like to research it and present it to the board we could certainly look into it.
Well Moc raised about $1400 (MOC's share) with the SAM during the CPL classes we sponsored. Is that what you are talking about.
If you can get a CPL instructor to give all or a portion of his fee to MOC we could do a CPL class every 4 months.

Yes those ideas are good but I was just offering more ways to hold fundraisers that maybe weren't thought about, Like a Vegas night for instance, when we did this for little league football we knocked down 2500.00 $$ for one Saturday night. You pick a central location, like Lansing for instance, decent amount of members there and about an Equal drive for people from Detroit area, Flint / Saginaw, area, also not to bad for the West siders from Battle Creek / Grand Rapids area. You get volunteers to work the table games, you have food for sale like hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and pop, (sometimes depending on the hall, they want to handle the concessions) Hold a few 50/50 raffles, etc. Find a hall that stands for the MOC cause, and they might even let you use it for the night for nothing and do it as a tax write off (hall donation to a non-profit). Plus they usually will post it on their hall sign at least a week ahead of time, make up a flyer and have the forum members post the on BB's at work or around town. Set up an MOC table with brochures; sell MOC items like you do with MOC table at Gander Mtn. Etc. Like I said I'm just throwing out some fundraiser Ideas that I was part of back in my football non-profit club days. We also did bingo, candy sales, although for candy sales we made the kids go door to door selling it, so probably no so good of and idea for MOC, but just a few alternative ideas is all.
I don't mean to raise the dead, but...
Any info back from Lamar?

It was decided that it was far too expensive.
my cheap suggestion although mildly on the less than legal side would be to get stencils with a MOC logo or message like -
OPEN
CARRY
LEGAL
MICH
and spray paint everywhere you dare. enough show up across the state it will get attention. happened few years ago in detroit where people were painting graffiti turtles or something all over. i forget who it turned out to be but at the time it was news. kind of like gang signs. i was worried it was like the 12 monkeys (movie with bruce willis and brad pitt). guess it wasn't since were all still here. it's cheap and if caught probably minor fine. just throwing it out there.

AgreedThis is a great idea...the sad thing is private citizens having to advocate for their legal rights! It's like having to pay for bill board space to say..."Here in Michigan we are allowed to vote ". WTF:shock:
LOL:lol:wow. then my next suggestion to put them on police cars wouldn't fly either.
