The Pot Book Winner and Jay Selthofner

During July 19th Pot Book Giveaway, Northern Wisconsin NORML also threw down a whole bunch of other marijuana support gear during our meeting at the Appleton Public Library.  Congratulations to our winners of The Pot Book: A Complete Guide to Cannabis, Satan’s Smoke (now known as The Case Of U.S. v. Yerbas) and Treating Yourself Magazines.  The response was outstanding and we collected tons signatures in support of HR 1831 (Industrial Hemp), HR 1983 (Medical Marijuana Patients Rights) and HR 2306 (Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition). We also threw done something else, a challenge that Appleton area activists accepted. Among the support gear available, we have a wide variety of T-Shirts that activists appreciate…..and someone is going to win one! The activist which brings back the most completed and signed signature forms for HR 2306 – The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act back to our next meeting on August 17th at the Harmony Cafe in downtown Appleton takes their pick of out of our “Green Line” of T-shirts. And as attendees of the last NORML meeting in Appleton know, we are generous to those who show and plan to include another give away of a variety of our merchandise stash. Wait…there is more…we will be giving away another copy of The Pot Book to someone just for showing up….so we hope to see you there!

We also created a Print Your Own Page on our blog for the latest signature petitions, event fliers and brochures. We plan to expand the page to include state wide events such as Harvest Fest and the Annual Free 420 Concert. We will also have pre-printed forms available for activists to pick up at Appleton Imports (watch this blog for the announcement and locations in Appleton).

NORML will have a variety resources that will be explained during the meeting, updates on events occurring statewide throughout the summer and fall, as well as providing up dates on Wisconsin and Federal Legislation.  Activists and chapter leaders will be on hand to field questions and listen to attendees concerns and suggestions.

Those interested in becoming a community leader, field director or more involved with the growth of the chapter should definitely attend this event.  Directors Jay Selthofner and Richard Martin will be moderating the meeting and plan on addressing the grassroots of activism with attendees.
