Please allow me to introduce you to Minnesota's newest Red Hat Instructor!

Janelle 'The Boarder Raider' COOPER!!!

It appears Alex(not me, the other one) stuck a hat on her down in Hastings, NE!
I suppose that's what we get for not having an Appleseed in MN this month.

Three Huzza'a for Cooper!

Huzza!  Huzza!  Huzza!

So, who's next?  Jackie 'Killer' the RifleDog?

It is well deserved Red Hat, and it should not be to long before Cooper should have a Green Hat to boot. Great job! I look forward to working with you again soon.

Congratulations, Cooper!  I fully expect to run into you again soon on another border raiding adventure.  Wear that red hat proudly - you've earned it. 
P.S. I hear there's actually more work when you get a fancy red hat?!  Are you ready?   ^:)^

That's what I heard too, and that's why I decided that a hat-color change was essential!  Everyone can be so much more useful to the success of Project Appleseed with a blushing hat or a green-light hat!!

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in

FYI:
Once you've achieved Red Hat status, you are now eligible for reimbursement for Instructor Travel, including to other states. 

Many states are increasingly experiencing a shortage of instructors and Shoot Bosses, so should you so desire to assist, you may now do so with less personal expense. 

Would be pleased to welcome you to Florida should you ever decide to make the trip.

Congratulations!

Thank you all for the recognition, and I should be seeing many of you on the trail later this year!   O0 O0 O0

As for travel and border raiding... let's see, there was WI last weekend, IA and the TN Nat'l Tea Party Miniseed in April, NY and MO in June...

And I've got to drag my daughter and her beau to an AS in WA or OR sometime...   Need a visit to the Southwest, the Northeast, the Southeast...

Got a great idea for the "bucketlist" -- attend a shoot in every state!

Fill the lines, so I have an excuse to come and help out!
