Guys (and Ladies),


I plan to step down as State Coordinator at the end of this year. In addition I will be taking a hiatus from Appleseed as well. I have enjoyed my time with the program, made some good friends, taught some fine people and hopefully made a difference. But, I have at the same time put many other things (house renovations, my farm, my career) on hold.

I would like to have a discussion on choosing a new State Coordinator. I came to the position in Sept 2010 when Eddie could no longer do it, and he took over from Doug the year before that. We can do this in person at the remaining shoots (Buckingham and Mechanicsville), via email, and/or even here on the board.

Let's determine who's willing to take this on and then start the process. So, any nominations?

Thanks for all of your hard work, creativity, and everything else you have brought to the Appleseed project and mission, Mike.  Those of us in MD will always think of you and the other stalwarts in the VA cadre as being a big part of who we are and what we do as ASers in MD.  This means every time a new shooter gets back on the line for another AQT or stands at the target line puzzling over what their target is telling them, you helped make that happen.
I hope we can keep in touch.
I know there are worthy successors in VA, and we look forward to working with them too.

Now is the time to start trying to schedule events. VA needs an SC.

Someone should contact KC about possible shoots in May/Dec (you could see if other datea are open, but it is doubtful). I have the wooden posts that work on the BR50 range. All that you should need is wire and backers, and a way to mark the firing line (rope preferably).


Kent (owner) at C2 should be contacted. We only had the one event last year. Things may have slowed down enough for us to get more dates. They have target stands we just need targets and a way to mark the firing line.

The Cavalier board will be meeting in Mid-Jan. Check the website and start initial contact. We had 3 events last year. They do 110 different events a year and the requirement for us to have Range 1 is that Range 5 not have a scheduled shoot and be open. The posts are in the target shed with a partial roll of wire and some backers.

Good luck. Most of you have my email and phone. I will offer any advice that I can.

Mike
