Shortly after this newsletter is “published”, WWA will be holding its first virtual event, with Door Prizes valued at over $3500! With a limit of 100 attendees and a $50 entry fee, this event sold out within 3 days.  While this reflects a certain amount of pent-up demand, it also reflects that people are willing to participate in short (virtual) events if there is a reasonable opportunity to win something meaningful.  It requires some careful planning, but we went from design to event in about a week. Want to put one on? Give me a shout! [email]bruceross@wi.rr.com[/email]. Quick and dirty, this type of event can net over 50% and can move the Super Goal “needle” for your chapter with very little time and effort!

We are exploring a virtual golf event soon too (yes, real golf is played)…. And maybe a virtual shoot (real shells will be expended)!
