Please welcome  WhyWon...recent graduate (and Rifleman) from the Feb 2012 RBC in Ramseur, NC to the MD instructor cadre! While we haven't yet met face to face, I can tell that the necessary spark and enthusiasm are there, to help assure Appleseed is a continued success in Maryland!

Welcome aboard WhyWon!

Many thanks BeSwift !

I had a great time at the RBC in Ramseur (2-12!!) and by the end of that week I became an IIT.

I look forward to helping out with the following Annapolis Appleseed events:

  • March 17-18
  • May 19-20

And I'll look into whether or not I can also do April, but at this point I have a conflict that weekend.

Does the schedule extend past May 2012 in MD?

Good job this past weekend Y1, and Thanks again.

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." — George Washington

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." --Mark Twain (1835-1910)

"A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either." ~ Thomas Paine

Many thanks for kind words and welcomes.

I very much enjoyed being a part of this weekend's Appleseed with everyone.

I realized how much learning I have to do; it seems that everyone is such a good storyteller! Without PowerPoint, I'm generally mute in public speaking settings!

Looking forward to the next one ASAP,

P.S. I recently grew a beard & my wife thinks I look a little like the Dos Equis guy, so I thought I'd have a little fun.    :)
