Crash is working on the "real" WI insert, but this is what I'm distributing for now.

Cooper,

Can you post this in a 2pg .pdf?
For some reason, OpenOffice can't figure these ones out.
I had the same problem last year; and ended up redo-ing the whole thing.  %)

Thanks,

Alright that looks great!

I just realized Hinckley's not on there.....  But it's perfectly suitable for the Southern half of MN and a good portion of WI.
Just don't make the mistake I made last year and run too many copies.  Just to find the need for more when we double the list. $$-0

Thanks!

I've only printed up about 50 to distribute to local gunshops and Gander Mtn.  Just feel the need to get something out NOW to plant the seed.  As more venues appear, I'll try and update a MN/WI/IA schedule and replace the inserts in trifolds that remain in the racks.

Paper is cheap.  Time is priceless.

Absolutely no problem with that!
I've been known to distribute outdated flyers; when in a pinch too.  If it peak interest; they'll look into it!

I used a free utility called PDFCreator.
Info about it is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDFCreator

Another free one is CutePDF: http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

Both work well. PDF Creator will install a browser tool bar if you breeze through the installation without reading the instructions and watching for it.

Don't do too much printing of material, as you are all going to love what Castle Mountain and Spitstickler have coming very soon.

Start working on what you would like to print yourselves on the back side of it.  As for me, I am going to try to figure out a way to get people to go to the new and improved home page for all the info.

Has anyone gone to the home page in the last say, 6 month's?
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

That looks real nice and is a good insert to our national trifold for now.  And we do need something now, right?! Sheesh......should have had that at the gun show last weekend.   $$-0

I do like the phrase:
Events are being added weekly; check the schedule at www.appleseedinfo.org.  

Aftermath, I miss the drums too.




"My primary objective is to change hearts and minds, for that is where the gaping hole in the hull of the USS America lies. I am looking to make a spark and praying that it will ignite, by their own will, into a bonfire in their hearts and souls."  PHenry

"Folks, this Appleseed thing doesn't work if we get a patch and go home. It doesn't work if we shoot a Rifleman score and remember the good times we had out on the range. It only works if we take that 7th Step and spread the 'seed. HUZZAH!!!"  Slim 


April 18-19, 2009  "The seeds of rifle marksmanship were sown in good ground.  In the end, then, every attendee walked away as an instructor for their friends, family, coworkers.  May you tend your patch in Liberty's garden well and through a long life."  Francis Marion

So how do we get the drums back?
To whom do we direct our fervent beseechments and prayers?
If they have been taken away, then they can be restored!

The sheets are standard paper size and have the Mona Lisa girl with the pretty AR.  Its something that maybe won't get lost in peoples paper work pile.  (For a while at least )
Local info is to be printed on the back side.
