Hear ye, hear ye. Let it be known that HeidiHeidi has joined the illustrious ranks of shootbosses in the Sunshine State, having completed her SBIT at the recent ladyseed in Melrose.   HUZZAH!

And fittingly, Minutemom is only a couple of steps behind her.   We are well on our way to having a cadre of women instructors right here in Florida who can conduct ladyseeds! We'll make Trisha proud!

Next up, TheMenace (although he'll have to shave the moustache if he wants to run a ladyseed <g>).

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

Huzzah! I have leads on a couple possible ladies events already.
"We have always looked upon men as a set of beings naturally free - that a people can never be divested of those invaluable rights and liberties which are necessary to the happiness of individuals, to the well-beings of communities or to a well regulated state, but by their own negligence, imprudence, timidity or rashness. They are seldom lost, but when foolishly forfeited or tamely resigned." ~Jonas Clarke

Huzzah Heidiheidi!!!!   :F
She did a bang up job as shoot boss at the Melrose Ladyseed!  What a fantastic addition to the ranks of the most awesome shoot bosses in the nation.  She must have some great mentors  ;)
Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains." - Patrick Henry

The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

"In the prevailing political theory of the founding era, the family was considered one of the essential pillars of republican virtue, and it not only needed to be nurtured, but also protected from the tyranny of the government.... American revolutionaries and their descendants understood marriage and the family to be schools of republican virtue. -Mary Lyndon Shanley, Review Essay, 27 Law & Soc. Inq. 923,

Outstanding!!  Thanks for all of the hard work and dedication that it takes to reach this level.    :bow:

We are just returning home from the Hollywood shoot. Just as Three o Eight says he has leads on doing Ladyseeds, Menace & Guntuckian have contacts from Palm Bay Area, and we saw much interest in Hollywood event we just finished. Additionally, the same  thing was observed in our usual N FL areas we work.
As Ladyseed is a way to bring more students on our lines....you know, when mama decides she likes something, she drags the whole family. It's just that some gals need a Ladyseed line to get their own start.
There's been a pm thread going on due to the communications re the Feb Ladyseed event. That thread made it obvious, the idea of Ladyseed has support from both male & female instructors to make LS happen & grow the program.
So please chime in on this board.
We need:
1) A promotional brochure
What do we need to say in it? Three o Eight did a nice brochure for the Melrose Ladyseed. "Words" there could possibly be tweaked with the permission & help of its creator! See it on the FL board thread "new Brochures for 2017" I like "Ladies of Liberty" phrase personally.
Design help needed.
2) Ladyseed T shirts.
The few that have been available that are worn at regular AS event get questions. Although, I've helped @ 5 Ladyseeds between FL & GA, I personally never got one. No complaints here, just saying that one means of our advertising for venues is lacking as far as LS.
Heads up "national": please do not reorder any LS shirts without having input from ladies who have worked LS events. This does NOT have to be done immediately. First things first. (# 1 & 3)
3) A state plan for development of LS realizing the small number of "shelahs" as our dear Trey says.
