Nashville Chapter Meetings for September and October 2010
Change of Meeting Nights
Nashville Chapter has received commitments from the two Gubernatorial candidates to meet with the Nashville Chapter to discuss their perspectives on 2nd Amendment and State constitutional issues.
Although the Nashville Chapter normally meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, in order to make these arrangements it has been necessary change the meeting nights for the
next two meetings only.
We have scheduled Mike McWherter for Monday, September 20, 2010
We have scheduled Bill Haslam for Monday, October 18, 2010
Please keep in mind that these meetings are primarily to have an open discussion with these candidates about their position on the issues that members of the TFA view as important related to topics such as firearms use and ownership, 2nd Amendment rights, civilian handgun permits, changes in the "thou shalt nots" (i.e., restrictions), opening local parks, and even 10th Amendment issues. While there are many other issues such as taxes, education, etc., that are of interest, we want to explore the organization's topical issues as much as possible before addressing off-topic issues.
Meeting time is 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 pm
When we have had guests of this interest level in the past there have been limits on the available room space which is approximately 90 people. If is important to arrive early (particularly if you plan to eat) and conclude the meal as much as possible prior to the meeting time.
Arrive early - 5:00 to 5:30 would be good. Eat in the meeting room if possible and if not, get as close as you can. We will try to finishing eating by 6:45 in the meeting room to clear out everything but drinks for the meeting if we have a large turnout.
Location: Golden Corral Hermitage
315 Old Lebanon Dirt Rd
Hermitage, TN 37076
(615) 874-1313
IT IS IMPORTANT TO PAY AT GOLDEN CORRAL AS YOU COME IN FOR THE MEETING IF YOU ARE EATING. TELL THEM THAT AT THE CASH REGISTER THAT YOU ARE THERE FOR THE MEETING AND TO APPLY THE "GROUP RATE" WHICH INCLUDES YOUR DRINK.
You do not have to be a TFA member to attend nor do you have to be a resident of Nashville. Everyone is welcome and encourage to bring guests - even spouses.
I want to encourage each of you to bring someone with you to the meeting who has not been to one or been to one recently. There's no cost to come (unless you eat because the meal is on you).
Finally, we have had requests to stream the meetings. We are trying to make the arrangements to do so but we do not have that set up at this time. If that becomes available, we will update it on the TFA Forum under the Nashville Chapter section.
