Western Kentucky University Longrifle Seminar Sponsored by the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association

Presenters and Participants for the 2020 Seminar,

Since March, I have been concerned about the status of our scheduled seminar to begin on June 3rd of this year. My intention was to wait until the first of May to make the decision to either continue with the seminar as planned, or to cancel it for this year.

After discussion with participants, presenters, Officials at the NMLRA, input from the various news channels, and surrounding state travel policies, I have decided to cancel the seminar scheduled for this year (2020). This was my decision alone, with complete support from the NMLRA.

As a participant, I am offering everyone one of two options.

• First, you can retain your enrollment in the current schedule of classes with full payment since I plan to offer the same classes next year with perhaps one or two additions for sections that did not make this summer.

• Secondly, you can cancel your enrollment from the 2020 schedule of classes with a refund of the course fee minus a $30 dollar cancellation fee. At this point, it is impossible to refund your current membership in the NMLRA Organization.

Currently Western Kentucky University is closed until August 24th which is the beginning of the fall 2020 semester, and there are no university plans up to and beyond the 24th. As you can see, I really had no choice about cancelling the seminar on June 3rd, 2020. I did think about rescheduling the seminar between the end of the summer term and beginning of the fall semester, but I was afraid the logistics of a change would be beyond our control at that point in time.

Currently the NMLRA office is closed, but they hope to open the second week of May. At that time, you can either call Brenda Hooton with your decision (812 667 5131) or email her at nmlra@nmlra.org. (Please check NMLRA.org/covid19 for up to date information. -Editor)

I hope this note finds all of you well during this unexpected pandemic!

Sincerely,
