Donation - Volunteer Request
|  Can you help us out?
GOAL is in need of a few volunteers to help us out at our "Freedom Rising" Banquet on June 18th, if you are attending and would like to help us run a raffle table etc.. please send an email to Angela Fisher.
Do you have something you can donate as a prize? We need donated items to use as raffle prizes at our "Freedom Rising" Summer Banquet on Saturday June 18, 2011
These items should be new but do not have to be firearms related, as a matter of fact non firearms related items often do very well.
If you have an item that you would like to donate, please contact Tara at the GOAL office 508-393-5333 x203. Thanks!

June 3, 2011 e-FA10 update.
GOAL has been made aware that the new electronic file version of the Massachusetts FA10 form has major issues that need to be addressed.
These issues include some of the language on the opening page which contradicts itself, and worse, incorrectly states MA law.
Another huge issue to be addressed, the site does not appear to be "safe"! Nobody should be expected to expose themselves to security threats online, and to be forced by law to share vital, private information online is indefensible.
GOAL is currently working with many MA legislators and the FRB to resolve this issue, please stay tuned for further updates as information develops.
On the good news front, it appears at this time that the paper version of the FA10 will still be available and accepted by the FRB. GOAL is still awaiting confirmation of this however.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no clear answer as of yet. GOAL will continue to work on the matter and keep our members informed of any new developments.
