Hello all, we have a special opportunity here...on Feb 4-5-6 in Baraboo, WI we will be having an Advanced IBC for anyone who is IIT3 and up for all current instructors (can be under IIT3). What is an AIBC, you ask? Read below Fred's special message to find out. The AIBC will take place at Old Glory's and Colycat's residence, starting at 6 pm on Feb 4 and go to 6pm on Feb 6. When I can find the actual EIP for it, I will post it.

*Edit* Mogget replied with the EIP

QuoteA Special Message from Fred:

   This is going out primarily to SCs and RCs.

   I am planning to hold a series of six "Advanced IBCs" over the course of the next 12 months.

   They will be called "An Advanced Instructor Boot Camp with Fred", and will be restricted to IIT3 and above.

    Equivalent to a post-graduate training seminar, these IBCs will cover all the issues, instructor-wise, history-telling-wise, and admin-wise which have arisen in the past year or so in the program.

    They are designed to bring active program instructors "up to snuff" and ensure they are on the cutting-edge of the program, in terms of training.

    There will be little or no duplication with the regular IBCs hosted around the country, in terms of the material covered - although some similar subject areas will be covered, except at a post-grad level.

     The "Advanced IBC with Fred" can be co-scheduled with a regular IBC, since the two sets of students will be entirely different. Or they can be independently scheduled.

     There will be no charge associated with "Fred" IBCs.

     I am sending this because I cannot get to each of the states which are currently in the AS program, not with only six of these in the next 12 months. (I may be able to add a few more if there's enough demand.) I hope some of you SCs will seize an opportunity to get some cutting-edge education and training for your instructor corps and set up a date in your state for doing one. Right now, you can pick any month, but since I only can do one a month, as a month gets picked, it gets scratched from the sched for everyone else. I'll figure a way to let you keep posted on which months get taken.

    All I ask of you is that, if you schedule one of these, you make an effort to get the word out to your IC and neighboring states so we can get as many as possible there.

    I will do my best to leave your ITs more educated about the program, more effective as "tellers of the history", and more motivated as Appleseeders. Whew! Sounds like a lot of work!

    If you can fit one of these in your state's schedule, PM me with the date ASAP.

    Thanks.

     I hope you have been encouraged by recent developments in the program. I know I have been. We need to always keep pushing, to keep things moving, and the program growing - so think Winterseed - and April 19th is right around the corner. The time to start setting up 4/19 dates is right now.

   Sincerely,

   Fred the Helpful

Hey, Taylor!

I have absolutely no say in the matter, but I anticipate that you will be promoted to at least IIT4 by Fred.  He appears to be REALLY smart and intuitive WRT to people's motivations and abilities.  I would think that the celestial training crew of WI or MN should be able to elevate you to at least the rank of Nicholas ("Blessed Warrior") or Reginald ("Kingmaker").  My own genealogical lineage ties directly to the royal Tudor family (rejected by my colonial ancestors) in VA/SC/TN, Francis Marion (the Swamp Fox) and multiple progenitors in the NY Colonial Militia throughout the central Hudson Valley into western NY and PA. 

YOU, however, cut straight through the cr*p to "mojo equipped patriot/stand out of my way, you pompous genealogist Anglophile and let me accept responsibility for defending my Nation, my rights and my Heritage."

I can't imagine that the WI and MN movers&shakers will not escort you through the approval process; you are a clear and most promising asset to the Appleseed Project.  I sure as heck wouldn't stand in your way, and I'm heavily armed, armored and well dug in.

Then again, I'm just a grunt, YMMV.

In summary:  You rock, T and J!  I hope to be able to enjoy your hospitality again very soon.

I'm on your page Ron. Before becoming "semi-retired", my thought was always no matter who wins on Sunday, I still had to go to work on Monday. Sports can easily become a distraction from what really matters in life.

I'll be bringing some Italian beef style venison roast to the AIBC.

   Yes, I'd suggest you carefully read http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=18654.0 "Chicken Little, the Darkside, and Other Matters"

   Also, http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=19907.0, "Remembering the Basics..."

   Also, http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=20317.0, "On being a follower..."

    Some of these things are pretty densely written, and it may pay to print out a copy so you can review again just before the IBC. These posts I made embody a small portion of the AIBC - but an important portion.

    Thanks in advance to all who have committed to being at this event. It should be an interesting weekend. O0

you need to get every instructor you can to the AIBC.  I mean, why wouldn't take every opportunity to visit beautiful baraboo?  No excuses.  Fred will appoint one of you to keep track of time for breaks to the facilities, select your best line boss, if you waste too much time messing around you will blow an opportunity to get better.  Take it from experience, I BLEW IT!  :-[

Here is some info about the weekend that maybe some of you haven't received.


QuoteHello everyone,
Just a few notes on this weekend.

Here is a map to the Bries house, and to the Circus City Sportsman's Club.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=
215523082222346832276.0004887afe2632d79372c

Friday Evening Bries House:   E11423 Mine Road, Baraboo, WI 53913   Fred will be arriving about 6:00 p.m., so arrival anytime around then is good.  We'll have a pot of chili on with bread and cheese, of course.

Please bring sleeping gear; whatever you need to be comfortable.

Saturday morning Circus City Sportsman's Club:  We will be meeting on Saturday at the Circus City Sportsman's Club.  E11781 Trap Shoot Road  Baraboo, WI 53913-9157   If you are arriving on Sat morning you may want to just go straight to Circus City.  Breakfast location to be determined; might be Bries house, might be Circus City.  Rifleman are flexible, right?!   Feel free to call OG at 608 393-6610 to find out where were are.

Sunday:  same as Sat.

At this time there are 25 registered.  That is GREAT NEWS!  However, the Bries house is small, so we are going to take advantage of the generous use of the Circus City Sportsman's Club which is heated, indoor plumbing, electricity,tables, chairs, kitchen but no stove.

Meals:
Fri evening: Bries chili
Sat breakfast: Mogget surprise
Sat lunch:
Sat supper:  Brats and Beans/Martin and Jo
Sun breakfast: Minnesota crew/coffee/eggs/bacon/bread
Sun lunch:  Bries Spagetti

kmk is bringing Ledebuhr hot dogs, Winonas' signature ethnic food.  Yaahooo!

Please bring the beverages you prefer, and pot luck dishes to help fill in the menu.
We will need throw away bowls, paper plates, and coffee cups.

Spoons/forks and knives and napkins will be provided.

PM if you have any questions.   Please share this information with anyone who might be planning on coming, but is not signed up.

****FRED'S COMING**** THIS IS GOING TO BE A WEEKEND TO REMEMBER!

I, as well, shall be partaking in the epic campaign.
With determined anxiety you await our imminent arrival.  Unsure what the barbarians of the frozen tundra have in store.
I shan't disclose the details; however I imagine we're conjuring something.  Perhaps, something like this:

Hello All, what a great weekend. It was good to see folks from MN, IA, IL and WI 28 attendee's in total 29 with Fred (NC). Yes that is a record. WI has the largest AIBC on record, so far  :cool2: . If you can find a way to get to one of these AIBC's DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.  This was not a Fred pep rally. This was serious business, and the word of the weekend was URGENCY. The sky is not falling at Appleseed, but the ship is still sinking at a rapid rate, and 2011 will be the most important year, to date. Find out why, and what you must do to help.
Find out what it takes to have the perfect Appleseed. The mission, the message, the heritage, and the marksmanship. Find out why we must check our ego's at the door.
All question's are welcome. Fred will challenge you to make him angry with a question  ;) . Do not be afraid, he will not bite. Fred will challenge you to think  :) , and you will learn Appleseed is not about Fred.

Thank's to everyone who came to the Baraboo WI AIBC  O0
