Made buku changes to page. Most of it on the top 'logo' portion. That graphic design stuff can become very time consuming.

Added some links but don't have much description about what they are about yet. Some nice stuff my wife came up with about Women in the Revolutionary War at the bottom of the page. I added them so that I don't forget about it. Good links I believe. Will refine that portion.

Issue: Nowhere does the page describe what a LadySeed is. It doesn't say "A Ladyseed is an Appleseed Event for Women Only." Or some such description. So what would be a good description of just what a LadySeed is?

So need a word smith to describe what a LadySeed is so I can insert more text into the page.

Please see new page. I actually like the new logo for LadySeed.

Oh, and crud. I just now noticed there are a few formatting errors if you use Internet Exploder. That's a prob with doing the web. Looks great in Firefox but a few probs in Exploder. Will fix.

@techres:

Really nice trifold !!!  Thanks for the work you put into it.

There is also a Ladyseed next month in Bowling Green, MO Sept 10-11.
Any way to work that into the brochure?

Techres, what exactly is this: Chamber of Commerce girls of shooting outing. I tried to find it through google, but I didn't get a match.

Formatting on LadySeed page fixed. Top graphic changed.

Added some links to the bottom of the page.

Email Server - The email server I've been using had died on me several weeks ago. I finally talked to the Texas RH who set it up for me. He said it should be working fine. So there is some type of connectivity problem going on.

I'll try and figure why I can't connect. Else I'll just send out the emails to homeschoolers manually.

Have been under the weather, sorry to slack off.  Feeling better now and back on track...   O0

Now let's pack those lines.

Scuzzy, please change:

Remove "Contributions made by the Women during the Revolution." at the bottom.
Change "For most ladies a rifle range " to "For many ladies a rifle range " in the first section if you would.

Thanks!

Done.

Sure would like to put those links about Women in the Revolution somewhere though. There's some good stories there.

Maybe I ought to link from the History section in TIPS?

I have my email server back up. Now I just need a letter to send to the Homeschool Orgs in WI. I have the addresses ready to go.

Any volunteers? I'd rather somebody from WI do the letter and also include contact info in the letter. Maybe even a phone number. It would feel much more personal then.

You can use my name and phone number.  Are we starting a letter from scratch or is there one already started somewhere?  Can someone check into that today?

I noticed that Trisha linked to a word doc on this thread. I took a look at it and believe we can use parts of it. It might be nice to weave a description of a LadySeed into it and add your contact info too. I'll PM the both of you after posting this.

Hi all,

I am back from Guatemala and ready to work on getting women to attend our LadySeed.  I sent an e-mail today to the Wisconsin State Journal Outdoor Section to be listed in the Sunday Column.

I will contact the Lodi Enterprise to see if they would like to do a story on us????

I can hang flyers up in Lodi and surrounding areas.

I will post this on the homeschool message boards that I frequent.

Tim Sagal is the Winnequah Board Member Contact for this event. 

I am excited!  I hope we can fill the lines.

Just got positive word back from the woman who runs the women of the JPFO web site who is from WI herself.  She is excited and I looped in Old Glory to the emails.

I also shared the ladyseed page with her.

I didn't even know there was a lady JPFO! Cool. My Grandmother, rest her soul, would have liked that. She knew about the 'Never Again' deal having come from Germany.

I have Old Glory!'s info to put in the letter so we're good to go with that.

Did anybody send me the text of the email for the homeschoolers already?

I could have sworn I'd been sent it last night but I can't find it in my PMs or email. I did a lot of home cleaning this morning deleting stuff from both my email inbox and PMs. So it's very possible I deleted it. If so I apologize.

So either way I sure need that letter. Times short.

I am not at home right now, but when I do get home I will send it to you.

RifleWoman

Put an announcement on Craigslist.

How many loaner rifles will you have there?  When reaching out to homeschoolers this is important, most are interested, few have rifles.  Sometimes they just need to try it and then they run right out and get one.

Here is the homeschool letter! Finally!!! The only thing I am worried about is making sure that when the recipients try to open it that it will take too long to download, will you make sure this isn't the case? Thanks!

Thanks OG for helping me get this together!

Trisha


RifleWoman

Trisha, it does take too long.  Can you print it as a PDF instead of save it as a PDF?  That will make it smaller.  People will not read it because of the time it takes.  Shoot, I gave up on it.  See if somebody can print to PDF.  I used to be able to, but my program expired.

I'm downloading a pdf printer now, I'll see if I can fix it for you.


Here, try this one.
