This thread is to coordinate efforts in Central Cal. Please refrain from making excessive comments not related to promotions
Flyers - we need to check in with these guys and make sure they are stocked up
If you see something, want to coordinate with one of these organizations, want to add more locations, have started a rapport with someone, send me an email and I can update or you can place a post.
FresnoAppleseed@gmail.com
We also need help in other cities in the Central Valley, Bakersfield / Madera / Merced / Modesto / Tulare / Reedley / Hanford / Lemoore / Visalia and any other cities that I've missed. If you live at or near any of the locations and would be willing to plant some seeds, please PM or email me and I will update the list.

Ok folks, we just came back from the Sacramento shoot and had an awesome time!!! Great folks, great company, lots of open minds and lots of riflemen and women. But, it's time to get back to work!
We have a Fresno RBC coming up, August 22-28, that we need to promote. We also have an appleseed that weekend, August 29-30. I highly recommend attending the RBC, not only for the camaraderie, but also for the valuable information it contains. This is the second RBC in California so hop on board.
Lemoore will also have it's first appleseed in September and also need to promote the outlying areas.
Please PM me if you can talk to and maintain a relationship with any of the folks I've listed above and if you would like to add more. Any and all help is appreciated
Maybe I should have made my post ( reply # 84 ) here instead. ::)
http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=3892.80
P.S. Does any one have "Moose's" contact info? I know he lives in Bako. IIRC we had another shooter from Bako that went to a Santa Barbara Appleseed in the past who said he'd help promote ??? any info on him?
The guy who won the FrontSight lifetime membership lives in Bakersfield... hope he turns up with some friends...
The craigslist posting is now expired. Do you have a copy of the info you put in it as a template. I would like to make a posting for our SB Appleseed for October 31.
sorry guys, haven't been on the forums for a while.... and i'm back with a vengence....
I can be a central point for folks in the area with flyers, glossies and the like. I currently have some in stock and can drop them off to you or ship them.
Ok folks, I was able to talk to an FFL in town and she does all the transfers for the Fresno, Paso Robles, Bakersfield shows. I will be helping her in her booth during the May 15-16 Gunshow in Paso Robles. She is generously providing a small portion of her table to Appleseed to do promotions. If there is anyone available at any point during this weekend to help it is appreciated.
The following are things that I will be bringing:
Appleseed Banner
Trifolds w/ holders
Swat Mags
10/22, single shot rifle, ar 15 & rifle stand
Fresno / Lemoore / Mariposa fliers
small computer / monitor / power strips and appleseed slide show
What I need:
fliers for your local shoots
volunteers
Please contact me via PM for planning.
Ok folks BaldDrgn, Romeo's Hero, and I will be in the Paso Robles area working the gun show. Fresno Firearms has donated a small portion of her table to us for Appleseed promotions. I will be bringing the supplies mentioned in the previous post. If any in the area would like us to do some promotions for your shoots, please stop by and drop off your local flyers.
