Folks,

This is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to participate in a
great event. For those of you that haven't been to a sanctioned IDPA
match, it's a phenomenal experience that you don't want to miss. I
realize that some of you may be hesitant to offer help because you
may not have the experience yet- this is not the case! We can use
everyone's help.

Along with Jon Green- Gene Gelberger, Michael Joffe, Darius Arbabi,
myself and many others will be VERY active working with Jon to ensure
this match runs smoothly. If we work together with Jon Green as a
team- the work load with be very manageable. We'll have support from
GOAL, IDPA and hopefully the entire MWT team!

It's not too early to step up and offer your assistance. Jon and the
team would love to get commitments for SOs, ASOs and others- the
sooner the better. And please don't forget to send those course
descriptions to Jon ASAP.

If anyone has specific questions ask us, I'd be happy to answer them
directly as well.

Thanks in advance for the help!
Dave
