Hello, and welcome to Project Appleseed's series of posts celebrating Women's History Month!  All March long the Ladies Outreach team will bring you tales of the ladies we lovingly refer to as the Brave Women and Dangerous Dames.  This post is your guide, and will contain links to each post in the series for easy reference.

Thank you for joining us in honoring the memory of these extraordinary women.

At the Nov 6th Somers, CT event a shooter mentioned a woman's story and we were able to work it in at the end of the event.

Anna Smith Strong, involved with Washington's spy ring, would use her clothes line to send signals.  Her involvement was not known until a cache of letters was discovered in the 1920s.

"By counting the number of white handkerchiefs scattered through her wash, Woodhull knew in which of six coves Brewster hid his boat. Under cover of darkness, Woodhull then rendezvoused with Brewster and passed along the secret messages. Brewster and his men then crossed Long Island Sound to Connecticut and passed the information to Tallmadge who passed it on to Washington's headquarters in Westchester County, New York."

Brett, congratulations on your rifleman patch, and thank you for your contribution to Appleseed's mission!

We'll definitely put her on our list of women to honor for the next Women's History Month!  Thanks Berg  :)  Folks like you help keep the content as fresh as possible.  I'm expecting we'll have all new stories for this coming March, and this helps ensure the realization of that goal!

Hello 300Berg!

We are looking for stories for our Women's History Month.  Would you care to submit a story about Anna Smith Strong??  I am think about submitting a story about her, but wanted to give you the opportunity first.

Let me know -- we are up against a pretty tight suspense.
ACCEPT YOUR WOBBLE!

It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."  Ronald Reagan

Here we are, still rocking Women's History Month three years later!   :partytime:
