I didn't see this call for help listed here, unless there is a sub board I do not have access to.

We have a youth opportunity coming up in a couple of weeks in Michigan City, IN.  The Michigan City Rifle Club is holding their second annual Youth Shooters Camp June 23-27th, and they have decided to give Appleseed a full day to instruct.  On Thursday, June 26th, we will be holding a one-day clinic for 40 youth ages 5th grade through 12th grade.

Anyone who is available mid-week is welcome to come help instruct.  Camping is available for those who choose to come in Wednesday night.  We are also in need of loaner equipment.  The club is trying to provide rifles and ammo for the kids but their budget is tight.  The club owns 11 rifles, and has a limited stock of ammo from an NRA grant they are providing for the kids.  To help them, we need to scare up as many loaner rifles as we can, plus if anyone has some donated ammo earmarked for youth we could use that too.  This isn't the first time Appleseed has had to equip a bunch of youth, so I'm confident we can make this happen!

This club is passionate and motivated to bring the shooting sports to a new generation, and it's our chance to get our foot in the door at a range that's considering bringing AS on board and actually doing their bit to promote us if they like what they see at the youth camp.

This is a short-notice thing that sprouted from NRAcon, thanks to contacts from Rayne and Hawkhavn.  I only got to meet with club officers today, so I don't have instructor signups online yet.  Please send me a PM if you are able to help either as an instructor or if you have any loaner gear we can use.

Sub-board.  Though that doesn't mean we still don't need help. I think we have two confirmed instructors, and one has a broken back. Please help!!!

I'll be there and can hardly wait! I can bring a couple of rifles and some ammo. Please send me all location and time details.

We need these youngsters to hear the stories about America's most important day!
