This week’s Volunteer of the Week is Tom Tompkins! He is the Chairman of Northwest Michigan Friends of NRA.

During his four years of service, Tom has...

Sold over 120 banquet tickets & 2 tables to bring in $14,000
Sold 1 sponsorship to bring in $5,000
Raised $3,900 in pre or post-event raffles
Acquired over 20-30 donations amounting to $2,000 - $3,000
Brought in underwriting for 15 items, amounting to $2,000
Hundreds of hours spent on banquet-related activities

When asked about Tom, Senior NRA Field Representative Al Herman replied:

"Tom has visited 3 local gun clubs, 2 gun shows and 1 huge outdoor show to spread the word about the program. He also makes sure a good deal of advertisements appear in gun and sports shops.

Tom is a driving force on his committee as he is always thinking about how he can make additional dollars for The NRA Foundation. As he is on the road a lot, he delegates many jobs out to his committee members and expects them to complete those tasks.

Tom, promotes the event on radio, travels to other events in other states to view how they present their event and pick up new idea’s, works with other committees to help make their event successful."
