We need volunteers in sales, marketing, PR, IT, and general "running of an organization." 
Maximize your Appleseed energy to make this program grow, and help fill the empty spots

Frodo: I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."

We need to be doing more things like that.  We need to get to know as many veterans as well as we can yesterday.

"...we have the choice to pursue, in the course of our life, one of two sets of principles - either the principles of power and privilege or the principles of truth and justice. If you pursue truth and justice it will always mean a diminution of your power and privilege. If you pursue power and privilege it will always be at the expense of truth and justice."
The forum is but a blank slate that records what we type.  If it sucks, why is that?  Anyone have an extra mirror for people?

Great job.

A great "out front man" to have on our side.  We are lucky to have Dave around.
To all Riflemen on the planet; we are here; we are waiting.

Old Glory!

Very nice to see their gratitude put into words in a formal thank you.   8)

It is also good to see more and more instructors and volunteers speaking to groups. 

Along with over 1,000 Appleseed weekends, these 2 to 3 hour commitments to remember and honor our founders is yet another way of attaining the mission of Appleseed.

For anyone who is doing things like this, please be sure to post in the Libraryseed IAAR thread so that we can learn from these Seed experiences.

"Folks, this Appleseed thing doesn't work if we get a patch and go home. It doesn't work if we shoot a Rifleman score and remember the good times we had out on the range. It only works if we take that 7th Step and spread the 'seed. HUZZAH!!!"  Slim 


April 18-19, 2009  "The seeds of rifle marksmanship were sown in good ground.  In the end, then, every attendee walked away as an instructor for their friends, family, coworkers.  May you tend your patch in Liberty's garden well and through a long life."  Francis Marion
