BRING ON THE NEW YEAR!

Hello,

I want to start by welcoming all you new subscribers to the WSA newsletter.  I want to encourage everyone to interact with this blog with comments and suggestions.  If you have an interesting or relevant topic please let me know and we will consider including it in an upcoming issue.

Another WSA venue to post photos and comments to would be facebook.. If you are not already a fan please "like" our pages today  The Women's Shooting Academy AND The Women's Safety Academy

 2011 was a year filled with many highs and lows both personally and professionally.  I reflect back with a lot of wonderful memories and I look forward to the endless possibilities the coming year may bring.  2012 will be the best year yet as I press on with my goal of seeing 500 ladies step into the world of gun ownership this year alone.  How do we do that?  We do that by putting together a training schedule to accommodate enough classes so that you will NOT have to wait months to get into a class.  We do that through an aggressive marketing campaign to reach women who have never even thought about gun training.  We do that through our instructors who share my passion and commitment.  And lastly we do that through you.  The greatest compliment any business can receive is a referral.  Your referrals are always appreciated!

WHO IS BEVERLY?
I wrote a short message on a story that I came across last week.  It's a very, very sad story with a tragic ending.  I did not know Beverly but I can not get her or her story out of my mind.  You can read my post about it here:  BEVERLY'S STORY   Stories like Beverly's are all to common, just turn on the news on any given day and you will find a story of a missing woman.  I am tired of hearing these stories.....sick and tired of scum bag, low life criminals that are getting away with these types of crimes.  More armed women means less rape and murder.

Where can we start?  We can start by encouraging all the women in our lives to become a WARRIOR.  WARRIOR stands for Women Against Rape Robbery Injustice Oppression and Rage.  The Women's Shooting Academy is holding a WARRIOR seminar on Saturday January 14th.  Here is the course description:  WARRIOR SEMINAR The cost is reduced to $40.00 and all who attend will receive a FREE pepper spray.  Pre-registration is required.  Call Vicki at (775) 772-7064 to sign up today.
 

In the coming weeks I will be updating the WSA website to include dates for all WSA classes.  Please continue to check it often so you don't miss out on that "KNIFE" class or the "GUN CLEANING" class.  These classes AWAYS fill up.


The first CONCEALED CARRY class for the new year is this coming Sunday the 8th.  If you have some basic firearms knowledge and have been thinking of getting your permits why not jump in.  A few seats are still available.



LADIES INTRODUCTION TO HANDGUNS continues to be the most popular class we offer.  This coming Saturday the 7th is probably the last class date till spring simply due to the cold weather here in Reno.  ONLY FOUR SEATS LEFT



WHERE IS WSA INSTRUCTOR KRISTY?
Kristy Cambra is now officially Kristy Imschweiler.  I am super excited to announce that Kristy is no longer just a WSA instructor, she is now an official member of my family.  Kristy and my oldest son Matt were married in October.  With Matt being in the Air Force and stationed in Italy Kristy has relocated to Italy until early 2014.  Kristy will still be a part of WSA team, just from behind the scenes.
CONGRATULATIONS MATT & KRISTY!

My New Years Wish For You All,
May 2012 be your best year EVER!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain


Are you looking for a group of folks to go shooting with?  If there is a genuine interest here, I will explore what that will take to get started...you gotta let me know though!

I look forward to seeing many of you again in the coming months.  I want to say ♥THANK YOU♥ for your continued support and encouragement!  We have some exciting things planned for this year....stay tuned, you will be the first to hear about them.  For a complete list of WSA classes CLICK HERE

Until next time....
