Good Morning, All! Happy Veterans' Day and Happy Birthday to the United States Marines! Have you thanked a Vet today?
A directive has been issued by Maximum Ordinate and the AOC to have as many cadre as possible attend and IBC BEFORE Patriots' Day weekend 2020. The eastern half of Texas and Louisiana are covered by the annual IBC in the Waco, TX, area, so I'm primarily addressing West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. Colorado had an IBC quite recently, so the folks who attended that event are pretty covered.
Now for the REST of us....
El Paso, TX, is fairly centrally located to most of the remaining region; 4 hours from Albuquerque, 4 hours from Tuscon, 6 hours from Phoenix, all reasonable drives for us western states dwellers. The venue rocks, there are campgrounds and hotels proximate to the venue, etc. The El Paso Community College Law Enforcement Training Academy has been very good to Project Appleseed over the years, and their schedule of availability is pretty flexible. The first weekend of each month is potentially a problem, but they'll work with us for almost any date.
Dates.
We're looking at booking a weekend some time from late February to early April. Spring break is probably not a good time, (middle week of March) and Easter weekend is April 10-12. I'll post a poll, and we'll go from there.
You can look at the thread for the July event to see the basics of the event structure.
We need input from YOU to make this work for as many people as possible.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!
