Quote from: yellowhousejake3) A interview, story, feature on every member of the Indiana staff in their home town news. Everyone, before the end of the year.
Someone had to be first. AuntieBellum got featured in a series in the local paper about folks calling Rensselaer their hometown. Her story appeared on page one and Appleseed got a big piece of the article. Our paper doesn't offer full stories online, but here's the relevant bit:
Quote from: Rensselaer RepublicanPROJECT APPLESEED
"My husband and I spend a lot of time with a different organization called Project Appleseed. It's a heritage and rifle marksmanship program. We are both instructors for that.
"It's a nonprofit organization. It host[sic] two-day events where people come out and we teach them how to shoot their rifle, how to use it safely, how to hit the target. We relate it all back to the founding of our nation - all about the American Revolutionary war, the day it started (April 19, 1775). We talk all about the big choices people had to make that day and how marksmanship was a big part of that - which is how they go together - and get people to think about how they need to stay involved today.
"It's all around the state, really. There is nothing in Rensselaer yet because they're[sic] aren't any ranges. But, it's close by - Rochester, Portage and Indianapolis."

Everybody just get out of AuntieBellum's way! She is going to get this thing straightened out! &)

You rock AB!
Gotta love small towns - those buckets almost bail themselves. All I had to do was agree to help a friend out when she needed someone to write an article on this week, and I got a chance to plug Appleseed in the process. Now, I did have to let her run my high school senior yearbook picture along with the article...and I have a feeling that the whole thing will be posted up on the church bulletin board for the next year...but that really just means everyone at my church can read all about Appleseed for the rest of the year. Newspaper subscribers: 2500 + church congregation of 200 = 2700 people 7th stepped in one go. O0
:bow: This slacker is inspired by your ever-vigilant bar-raising pattern of 7th-steppin' get-up-n-go-get-'emness.
Nice job, AB. O0
I need a copy and the email of the author! Pronto!
Great job. ^:)^
