Hello One and All,
Ladies and Gentlemen we seem to be having a little trouble filling the lines here in Iowa. I know everyone I've met at Appleseed would like to change that as soon as possible. I also realize I'm a little late to the dance on posting this suggestion for this year but here goes anyway.
Keokuk had it's Labor Day parade today. I spent the morning walking the parade route asking "Anybody here own a rifle?; Know someone who does?; Like to shoot?/ hunt?" and passing out Trifolds to anyone who showed the slightest interest.
Does your community have an Old Settlers, Founders Day, Corn, Strawberry, Grape, Watermelon Festival? County Fair, Rodeo, Car show, Bike Rally?
Any activity that brings people out and concentrates them where you can 7Th step? If so, and if you'd like some Trifolds or other Promo. material to post or hand out, Let me know in advance and I'll send some your way.
Also if anyone has other , better ideas to share to help promote Appleseed in Iowa please chime in here. By working together I'm sure we can improve our results.
Please be advised this is not meant as a criticism of ANYONE. I know full well that we all want to see this program grow and succeed. This is only meant as a suggestion on one possible avenue to move forward and a request for other ideas.
Vic
