Hey friends of CT Appleseed --
In case you haven't heard, our very own Fred (the telegenic) scored a major coup today with CT NBC News. He was contacted by Jason Hawkins, a reporter that does lifestyle reporting, for an interview about Appleseed for a "Things to do this weekend" story. Fred and CaptMac quickly sprang into action and hosted a mini-Seed for the reporter and a photographer today at Bozrah R&G, and the report is that it went swimmingly! Check out the IAAR: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=27437.0
The segment will air on WVIT near the end of the 11:00AM and 5:00PM newscasts on Friday, then again on Saturday during the morning news, which appears to air at 6:00AM and 9:00AM. It'll also be posted on the station's web site, probably in the This Weekend (http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/the-scene/events/This-Weekend.html) section. Look for a 3-5 minute segment with Fred's smiling face!
Spread the news far and wide - we want as many eyeballs on this as possible. I'll be posting this on my personal Facebook page in a minute, as well as on the CT Appleseed page (http://www.facebook.com/CTAppleseed). Be sure to tell your friends and family, especially those fence-sitters that have never been to an Appleseed before. If Fred can't drag them in, nobody can!

It's on the air, it's on the web, and it's better than we dared hope for!

If you want to see how a former tugboat captain calls the line, give it a whirl.
And HUGE thanks to Vernic82 and CaptMac for stepping up to make this happen! We've already had three new registrations for Lebanon this weekend. Way to go, boys!!

Outstanding job; will have to have ADOM figure out a way of stealing - uh, otherwise acquiring the video for gunshow table use...
That said, per comments above, video does stop at "given a test to shoot 40 targets in 4 minutes..." Reporter at least must have finished his sentence, or completed talking about AQT and The Patch?
Excelsior,

Every AS FB page should go to the CT FB page and "reshare" the link.

Three "huzzahs" and a tip of the tricorn! Will have to catch it after it airs, unless it make National News.
