361 West Main st. 1st floor


Great write up Jim !!! As a member of the BoD, along with Jim, Chris & Ross, you can all imagine what we thought when the 'Real' numbers were made available to us. Eye opening is an understatement.

Bob P was praised at the last board meeting for bringing this to light!!
Going forward, everyone who owns a firearm should join GOAL...period.
They're the one with the political clout, through Jim Wallace, and the horsepower to see the job til the end.
I'm proud to be a member and thrilled to be on the BoD!!

 

[FreeWillie]

Thanks EC for the succinct history lesson.

 

[FrugalFannie]

Thank you for clarifying this for all of NES. I knew much of this myself but not all the numbers.

Keep up the good work GOAL!

Great write up Jim, Made a confusing subject less so.

How does one cancel the hard copy newspaper? I am getting the electronic one already.

 

[Bob P]

Thanks for the update and for stepping up to serve on the board. I can't wait to see what's in store for GOAL in the next year with so much accomplished so far. Also, huge round of applause to Bob Pepi for starting the process and prodding it along until enough momentum was generated. Also, thanks to the BoD members who made the split happen.

Thanks. I'm planning on running for the board in the next election. I hope I can count on your support.

Just send an email to Tara ([email protected]), put "Paperless" in the subject line, and include your name and address (or member number if you know it).

ETA: I changed the OP to include this info.

My thanks to you, EC, for this information. I'll also give a tip of the hat to the other BoD members and the GOAL staff. I'm sure it was difficult for those folks while these problems were being sorted out. My son and I will be happy to continue our memberships with GOAL.

Well done!

Awesome!!!!!

 

[Bill Katt]

Thank you very much Jim for the summing up all that happened and the update as to where things stand now. Excellent post!

 

[Blitz1]

Thanks. I'm planning on running for the board in the next election. I hope I can count on your support.

Most definitely Bob, well done. Jim, that was a great write up, thank you. Thanks to all the staff at GOAL and the members of the BOD as well.

 

[EddieCoyle]

What about the lippy lawyer?

Ed George?

As soon as the BoD asked him to look into things, he saw the light.

Ed is a good man.

 

[Colt Delta Elite]

Thanks for the info and your hard work EC!!

 

[USMA-82]

Nice job on an explanation that was a long time coming.

Let's put that extra money to work!

 

[Fixxah]

Wow, great turn around.

What about the lippy lawyer?

He has an ad in the new paper. Switched sides I guess.

Thanks. I'm planning on running for the board in the next election. I hope I can count on your support.

You will win in a landslide Bob. It will be like Dappper said, "They'll have to weigh the votes".

Kudos to all in the pilothouse. The ship no longer lists.

 

[Garys]

Thanks, Jim. Great report. As a friend of mine says, "Sunshine is the best disinfectant".

 

[mivv]

I joined GOAL and the NRA just yesterday. Glad to hear everything is going much better.

 

[T3andme]

Wonderful work!! Nice write up Jim, and kudos to all who worked on this.
Bob P, ya got my vote.

 

[MisterHappy]

Good job.....by all that moved things forward.

I hope that the clarity continues.....the ol' "sunlight" thing.

 

[colt_fan]

Thanks for the write up Jim. Now it's up to us to spread the word at our respective clubs. There are still clubs that have not yet heard the GOAL side of things. They have only heard from TOM and their version. So please go to your next club meeting and share what Jim wrote up!

 

[william_munny]

Thank you for the update, Jim. That definitely gave me a much better idea of what was going on, and it's great to hear just how much things have improved.

 

[soam]

Kudos to everyone involved in bringing the issues to light, and working their tails off to bring about such huge positive change.

Just think of what an additional $153,000 a year can do for GOAL.

 

[Mike S]

Thanks Jim. Great stuff.

 

[houdini]

thank you very much to put it out there.

 

[Blitz1]

I'm hoping this thread will bring some people back to GOAL.

 

[chuckster]

I'm hoping this thread will bring some people back to GOAL.

Yup, a lot of people jumped ship because they were too impatient to wait for cooler heads to prevail. Hope we get some back.

The GOAL Foundation has recently changed its name to The Massachusetts Shooters Foundation. The former Director of GOAL - Michael D Yacino – is an officer (both Treasurer and Clerk) of The Foundation.

Well that doesnt seem very much like them, I figured they would try and use the GOAL name to keep making money off the confusion, they never did seem very bright I suppose.
