2009 ORA State Convention

[Mr Shooter]

Since this is my first attempt at a "New Thread" I'm open to any suggestions or constructive criticism.
That said, I wish to inform OSA members of the 2009 ORA State Convention. Thank you.

OKLAHOMA RIFLE ASSOCIATION
STATE CONVENTION​

Keynote Speaker: U.S. Senator Tom Coburn​

Saturday

August 22, 2009

Mark your calendar and be sure to attend the Oklahoma Rifle Association’s State Convention on Sat., August 22, 2009. We shall return to the Biltmore Hotel, I-40 and S. Meridian, in Oklahoma City. It’s a great time to meet with other supporters of the Second Amendment.

This year we have tentatively scheduled as our keynote speaker U.S. Senator Tom Coburn. Because of the recent national elections, Sen. Coburn will provide insight as to the impact upon the Second Amendment under the new national administration.
The day starts with exhibits, informative seminars, the Annual Members’ Meeting, and the Awards Banquet. And, of course, we’ll have a great silent auction where you can pick up a variety of hunting and shooting items. More details and ticket reservation information will be provided in the July Sharpshooter.

[Roadking Larry]

Mr. Shooter, what is the schedule of events for the AM if any.

 

[berettaman]

When is the convention going to be in NE Oklahoma?

 

[Mr Shooter]

Larry, The convention opens around 12 noon to 12:30. This gives the exhibitors time to get set up in the exhibit hall. If anyone knows a potential exhibitor please contact me as we still have a few openings. OSA perhaps? With the banquet and the silent auction we won't get out of the hotel intill 9:30 at the earliest. It's a long day for some of us.

Berettaman, Sorry, but the last time we tried that we had one of the poorest turnouts ever. Seems TRC wanted us to come up there then didn't even have a decent member showing. Money wise we lost our shirt. The Board decided that the best convention location would be in the center of the state.

 

[neverjeg]

I would really like to go to this - but the day doesn't look to exciting or informative. Has anyone been to these? Are they worth the day?

 

[smcgee10]

Sounds interesting. The conventin, I mean.

 

[MrBaldy]

What's it cost to join the ORA to get the good rates on hotel?

Larry, are you the ABATE Larry? If so, how's Sherri doing?

 

[skyydiver]

Hell, I'll go just to listen to Dr. Tom.
