Just wanted to bump this again! We are all so excited, going to be a great time. Currently working on getting a whole regiment of re-enactors to come out and talk a bit about the life and battlefield tactics that were used.
As always, donations are much needed and appreciated. Ammo (.22lr only please) and financial consideration.
Happy new year!
Ladies and Gents,
We are now almost into February. Things are rolling along. This project is in 1.5 months and I'm still sitting at close to 0/0. If you are willing to volunteer some time to help out, donate ammo (.22lr only please), or donate some $$ to help with expenses, etc.... now's the time to get started on it! Please PM me if you have further questions, etc. Most info should be updated in OP.
Much appreciated.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Tim
I will be setting up 2-3 meet ups in Feb(middle to end of month) to collect donations from north area and Denver area. Currently have close to 1000 rnds collected.
Anyone who wishes to loan rifles, semi auto mag fed is best, please note, need sling and should remove bipod if equipped. The Appleseed folks usually have some extra slings available for those who do not have.
You rock!! (I'm thinking of bringing some tannerite this year so the kiddos can make a boom, lol)Originally Posted by buffalobo
How much more ammo do you anticipate needing?
They like to have around 150 rnds per kiddo. About 35 kids. So, 35 x 150 = 5250. Probably round up to 5500 to be on the safe side. Last year we needed less rounds donated because me and another teacher were able to supplement some of our own, but that has obviously been depleted, AND we expect more kids this year too!!! Last year we had 30 kids? (Do you remember Buffalobo/other guys?) This year they will probably cap the class around 35-40, but there is always one or two who refuse the range day, so probably 35 kids will actually shoot out of the whole 40 class.
Also, we need financial donations as well. I suck at asking for money and have been hitting up some local places,... but I'm just not getting anywhere with 'em. Currently talking to Dragonman to see if he'd be willing to help sponsor or something, we can throw up a banner or mention his business in the news articles, or who knows? But it doesn't sound like he'll be interested either.
In case any of you still don't know what this is. Here's a link to Appleseed and what they are all about: http://appleseedinfo.org/
Last year was the first year (nationally) they were able to get into the public school and it was a RAVING success... so this year will hopefully be bigger and better.
I don't know if you've already tried but the Scout program actually got some deals with I believe Winchester for ammo.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
I have no affiliation with the Scouts though outside of childhood... good memories too, lol. I tried the BSA last year in helping get this off the ground, they were of no help. However, I'll always try and try again! I do know (name withheld) did PM me about being able a SL and about to help out. I think Buffalobob has already been in contact with him. Thanks for the headsup!
35 kids sounds about right. At least 5500 rds. Any left overs could stay with Bear or be donated to Appleseed folks for other kids.
