I attended my first Appleseed this weekend in Crawfordsville. I would like to once again thank ATM, Clean, Kate, and Kate's mom for making the weekend successful. I looked forward to the stories during breaks and lunch periods. Not only did I learn fundamentals of marksmanship, but I learned a lot about my own endurance and capabilites, as well as pieces of history I otherwise would not have known. I came home both nights hot, sweaty, dirty, sore, and tired. But at the same time energized. I loved the weekend and look forward to doing it all over this fall. I made new friends whom I will think of as I reflect back.
Kate you made the weekend extra special for me. You did a fabulous job! Thank You! O0

You are extremely welcome! Without great Americans like you, this program would not exist. This weekend was a challenge, but we overcame it as a team and persisted. You were a joy to work with and I hope our paths cross again soon! :)

P.P.S. Bring all your friends with you next time!!
HC, it's difficult to explain that "tired yet energized" feeling, but that's exactly how it feels every time I Appleseed.
I just started the official AAR for the event here: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=36774.0
Would you please add your thoughts in that thread for others to read and comment on as well? Thanks again, it was great to share the weekend with you!
