hopalong Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 We (MCC) are happy to announce that we have finalized a new charity for the Memphis Charity challenge. When we contacted them, we were asked a few of the normal questions. After talking briefly with them we were pretty much on board as was them. In as few minutes after more discussion, we were asked. "What can we do to help you ? Come hang banners, make a presence ect.? Just a whole bunch more excitement and enthusiasm from them. I'm proud to announce the 2010 Memphis Charity challenge will benefit the : LeBohneur Children's Hospital New match entry found here: http://mail.e1w.com/webmail/src/download.php?startMessage=1&passed_id=3369&mailbox=INBOX&ent_id=2&passed_ent_id=0 Thanks to all who sent suggestions, and comments. We are happy and pleased with the reception from The LeBohneur Childrens Hospital and thier staff. Now let's get the new applications filled out and sent in to Brad!

hopalong Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 A little info from the other thread. Match HOTEL: Wingate Hotel 2270 N. Germantown Pkwy Memphis, TN 38016 Ph: 901-386-1110 Room rate 89.99 night for a 2 queen room. Mention "Memphis Charity Challenge" for that rate. Fore every 10 rooms rented, the match gets 1 free for staff. (Saves the match $$$$ for staff housing). Michelle Dehan says she plans on being there and bringing her camera equipment for the match. her website: www.photomotionphotography.com/ She does great work. Hope that helps.

professor Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Couple of things I ran into... The hospital is Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. Note spelling Bonheur, not Bohneur. More info on this worthy charity at: http://www.lebonheur.org/portal/site/lebonheur/ For Mike's sake: Literal translation of the French 'Le Bonheur' is 'the good hour', or 'the good time'. Conventionally, the translation is 'Happiness'. Now if it were Le Bonheur Chateau Avec Les Jeune Filles De La Nuit... Also, I tried the link for the new registration form, and it took me to an email sign-in page... Edited August 20, 2010 by professor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Now if it were Le Bonheur Chateau Avec Les Jeune Filles De La Nuit... "The happiness house with the young ladies of the evening"? (Sounds to me like my original translation is spot-on!) So if I understand this correctly, we have selected a friendly Memphis brothel as the charity benefactor of this year's match.......right?

professor Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 the website is updated. http://www.memphis-ssa.com/mcc/mcc.htm There are still references to THIMWORMS [That Hospital In Memphis Worth Only Receiving Much Scorn] in the text of this website page. Actually, St. Jude's does a great job with the kids. We shouldn't condemn the entire institution simply because the people running it are anti-2nd Amendment PC elitists. Anyway, I'm happy to see our donations going to an organization that appreciates them. [Although I'm sure 'les jeune filles' show their appreciation for all the donations they get in more interesting ways.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopalong Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 I know many of you are waiting to send in your entries for one reason or another. That is fine with me. Enough people have signed up and sent their entries that I can purchase targets, pasters and other essential items. It doesn't matter if we have the 23 people signed up now or 123 or 1,230 the match is going to happen but it'll have to be a little longer if we get 1,230 shooters !!! For some info the stages have been sent to USPSA to get that blessing. If I remember correctly round count is 246 IF you don't MISS or make up any bad hits. Partial list of Sponsors/prize table donors: Brian Enos (we're using his forums to talk about it) Springfield Armory Tech Wear Shooters Connection Ah, darn now I have brain block ! I'll post more later. See some of you in November Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueridge Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I'm not seeing a lot of people on the self-squadding page on the USPSA site. Where are all of the shooters from last year. I know that the match is in November, but I still expected to see more signed up by now. Edited September 8, 2010 by Blueridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and a crew of 3-5 are coming from Kansas. Even have the check written, now if I can just find a postage stamp I'll be in. I haven't forgotten Sam!

You can leave the speedloaders at home. No need to defend your "Speedloader" title from last year. Edited September 9, 2010 by Blueridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
