As most of you can see I have changed my name from wheelinsportsmen to NE OWL. Reason being myself along with 8 other Wheelin' employees have decided to leave the NWTF to pursue a new organization. It will be Called Outdoors Without Limits. There are a lot of details yet to be finalized, but for now if anyone may be interested in starting a chapter or getting involved with a chapter please send me a message and I can get you more details on what we need to do to make this happen.
The NWTF Wheelin' Program is a great program, but with everything going on there(banquets, JAKES, WITO, Hunting Heritage, Landowner days etc etc etc) it was tough for 8 guys to continue growing like they wanted us to and we were doing when the chapters were tapped out from all the work they had to do with banquets already. With the new group and a chapter based system we will be able to reach out further to the disabled communities than 8 guys could do across the country like we were trying to do.
Thanks Jim

I sent an email outlast night to a bunch of folks who I know who maybe interested in starting or being involved in a chapter. I know from past experience once you get a few guys to say they will take they lead, you will get plenty to join the group. Especially if they have a direct connection to being disabled or to someone who is disabled.
Longbeard if you think you may be interested in getting involved let me know
Thanks Jim

Thanks John, as soon as I get more info here I am going to set up a meeting and see how many we can get involved to get a chapter going here. I am willing to take the Chairman position so that no one feels they are under to much pressure not knowing what they are getting into.

PM response sent NE Owl and as I mentioned I have a couple of "key" contacts/friends in what may be the "right places" that are very willing to help out.
Count me in.
