Hey All,
See two emails pasted below - the guy is in the St. Louis MO area it appears. Can anybody make this happen? I'd also told him I'd give him a discount if he's will do travel himself - instead of having instructors travel. He said he could get a large group together - although I've heard that before.
If you can help let me know and I'll give you contact info.
Emails:
I did an apple seed in 2018 with my son and a couple friends. Now I'd like to do one with my son and two other of my children as well as two nephews and four other guys and a couple of their kids from church. We were wondering if it's possible for us to host an appleseed And for the instructor to come to us as opposed to us all going somewhere else. The nearest location to us is usually in central Missouri and we are in millstadt Illinois area. We have a couple properties with target ranges on them that we own and one property that's regularly used by the Millstadt and Belleville police departments for their shooting exercises that has a covered pavilion. Is this something that could be accomplished?
And also the next one from the same guy:
Thanks for your help on this. Let me know how many people I would need to make it worth it for your teachers. I teach Royal Rangers and have several adults and other teenagers that I can invite as well as work with Cross Trail Outfitters and have parents and teens there as well. I'm pretty confident I could probably get 15 to 20 people if necessary to put together a class. Last time I took a class there was 10 of us with one instructor.
The closest hotels to our location are about 10 minutes away in Columbia, IL. We are 20 minutes from downtown St. Louis, MO.
Rangers location is here. https://maps.apple.com/?auid=8650771347060422903&ll=38.487015,-90.087214&lsp=7618&q=Dropped%20Pin&_ext=EiYpkByff3ExQ0AxOFz1yoaKVsA5a2nJPiNHQ0BB20cTlMeBVsBQDA%3D%3D&t=h (https://maps.apple.com/?auid=8650771347060422903&ll=38.487015,-90.087214&lsp=7618&q=Dropped%20Pin&_ext=EiYpkByff3ExQ0AxOFz1yoaKVsA5a2nJPiNHQ0BB20cTlMeBVsBQDA%3D%3D&t=h)
Based on interest from other instructors, and given a spot to park my camper, I would help. See if we can muster some folks and consider some dates. I would bring JHB with me.
If the date worked with my schedule, I'd come up and help.
Thanks all.
I'll send the guy and include y'all on it and you can take it from there.
I'm in, depending on when.
I reached out to the individual. I will get paperwork to them for range info. We have a very tentative date of Mar 23-24, 2024.
I can come and get some training in.
Talked with Geek about this over the weekend in Bonfield. Schedule pending Im in.
Looks like we're on the way!
My contact for this event is Josh Froese. His email is jfroese@outlook.com Chuck, if you want to reach out as the new state coordinator, we might get some fresh traction on getting back our host apps. He had two locations we could use. The one near his business looked very promising.

Sent him a note this morning.
Program growing! Huzzah!
Give the range a call. The roll of the SC is to be the head cheerleader for the state
