**************************************************
1. Why the Gun Shows and Events alert is important to you and VCDL
**************************************************

We are going to be sending these Gun Shows and Events alerts to you more regularly. They serve two key purposes:

a. the MAIN purpose is to get volunteers to help at the various gun shows and events around the state. This will prevent us from having to put out separate calls for help in other alerts. VCDL’s activity at gun shows and other events keeps the organization strong, well-funded, and makes sure our message is seen by vast numbers of our fellow citizens!

b. the Gun Shows and Events alert is a service to gun owners, as it is a compendium on where and when all the various gun shows and events are being held across the Commonwealth. Be sure to save the latest copy so you can find gun shows in your area whenever you need to.

Thanks to VCDL’s new statewide gun show coordinator, Robert Herron, for compiling these Gun Show and Events alerts!
