I've been noticing that a lot of other states have a dedicated Appleseed page for their state on Facebook, and am curious if anyone has considered doing it for us?  Just an idea I've had, not sure how effective it would be for 7th stepping, but it might help.

There seems to be an orange glow on the western WI horizon.  OH!  It's Professor Gun and Blue Five's orange hats at work!   ^:)^

Has anyone formally done a WI Appleseed Facebook page?  Don't think so.  Anyone working on it?  Don't know.   Maybe someonew ill chime in here. 

Sounds like a good idear, and from the sound of it, there may be help from other Appleseeders who have already done this in their state.

:) We sure try.  ;)

I know how to do it, and I know Aftermath has made a group, but it'd be a better idea to make an actual fanpage, I think.  I just don't want to do something like this without higher up approval.  If I get the okay for doing it, I can talk to Aftermath about what he did with Minnesota's group.

I am the moderator for the Southern Nevada Facebook page, and I find that it's a good seventh stepping tool, but somewhat limited towards bringing new people in, unless you wanna pay for ads  :P.   But it's great! you can recommend the program the page to your non-Appleseed friends! (If you have any facebook friends who HAVEN'T heard about the program yet.:) )

It is a great tool for 7th stepping, but ultimately I find that it's best used for helping keep previous Appleseed attendees in the loop as to what's going on (to ask for help at gun shows, signup links, AAR links, history tidbits, etc.)   

It's also very easy to say 'look us up on facebook' rather than the rwva.org address, because a LOT of people are already on facebook.  We are a community fanpage because we have more than one moderator, which makes it easy to get things posted.
An example of a REALLY good facebook page to check out is New Hampshire's.  Check out their welcome page!
One of these days I might get around to it....

Thanks Treble!

Okay, I created the page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wisconsin-Project-Appleseed/193999693972485

Please like and invite your friends!  I will keep it up to date with upcoming shoots and photos that are put into AARs.
