Possible Appleseed near Grand Rapids

[Swamp Thing]

Hey Jetplane19,

If you haven't gotten in touch with Intheburbs, I am the range development coordinator for Appleseed in MI. If you want to PM me, I can be over in GR next week to meet with your board. Checking my schedule for next week, I could be there any day except Monday or Wednesday.

Thanks,

ST

Yes, Appleseed is a non-profit. Give us a contact for South Kent and we will contact them.

Hey all,

I've sent out introductory emails to BOTH clubs mentioned in this thread. Follow up phone calls to go out later this afternoon.

As range develpoment coordinator, I like to swing for the bleachers when trying to get new ranges to host us. Let's hope that we get not one, but two new ranges for next year. Maybe even multiple shoots. Go big or go home, right?

JetPlane - hook us up with a range, and when the first event is scheduled, I'll give you free admission for up to four people.

I'm also posting a separate thread offering a similar "bounty" for any new ranges.

I like it, a bounty for new ranges..

Hi All - as an update, I've been in contact with Intheburbs and I'll be getting info in front of the club manager at KCCL.ORG this month.
Hopefully a face-to-face presentation at a board meeting will follow, with scheduling a weekend this spring '12.
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for everyone's interest! I'm pumped.

As a follow-up, I provided some Appleseed literature to the KCCL.or club pres tonight and he's very interested.

I'm in contact w/ InTheBurbs to get a FTF presentation at the February club meeting for a first time event this spring...and hopefully more after that.

I'll keep this thread posted.
Very excited for Appleseed in the GR area.

The Muskegon Club has two Apple Seed events scheduled. The first weekend in May and the last weekend in August.

I met with the BoD at KCCL last night and gave 'em the Appleseed pitch.

They seemed really interested but were unable to put it to a vote. Quite a few absent members including the club manager.

I don't want to jynx myself but I got a pretty good vibe from the board and hope to hear from them soon.

Thanks Jetplane19 for getting the ball rolling for us!
