All,
Thanks for working with your local clubs to get Appleseeds scheduled. Due to a lot of work this is where we are at right now. I will update this thread as additional shoots are scheduled/confirmed. Some of these are not nailed down yet, but we're close. There will be at least one Hoosier shoot every month from March through November with the exception of August and four April 19th shoots! If you have more ranges/dates in mind, shout out now and let us get them on the schedule. We have 11 so far, 20 would be great. The only doubled up weekend right now is April 18-19, we easily have enough instructors to do that.
Our first Indy 1500 is in 3 weeks, who can make it down for a day? Expect this to be a VERY
heavily attended show right before the inaugaration. We'll need a full crew.

Ok, guys, you heard the man: "We have 11 so far, 20 would be great."
Hawk is just trying to be nice about it.
Are you guys going to let CA beat you this year?
Gonna lay down and let California ride roughshod over you?
Economic times are bad; sign on to our concept of "Full Employment for Appleseed Instructors"!
Let's not let them (you) lay around, weekend after weekend, slowly slipping back into apathy - because can laziness be far behind?
Let's work on maxing AS at existing locations, and line up some DARs and private land for AS.
Heck, I bet by April 19, we'll have 30 on the Indiana schedule for 2009 - but only if you make it so.
There's a time monkey on our collective backs; the ship is sinking...
Who's on-board for this project?
[I'm cutting you guys some slack - I didn't say "40" AS - if I were you guys, I'd be insulted that anyone would cut me any slack, when it comes to this program. We can save the country this year - or next. Which would you want to see? Can anyone find a backbone and say "50"? You can do it - but you have to set it as a goal - as a New Year's Resolution - one that you plan and intend to keep. Let's see Hawk, posting on here this time next year, saying, "I can't believe it - what happened? We hit nearly 60 Appleseeds this year! And beat California!" :)]
I've been waiting for this for quite some time!
Only a few "conflicts of interest" with my Buckeye State schedule, but I should be able to make most of these events as well.
See you guys soon!
