marijuana prohibition

se-wi-norml-soft-logoI noticed a recent Facebook post on the Southeastern Wisconsin NORML page about the venue change for the next meetings.  Here is the post and link to the event:

The Monday, July 30th 2012, Southeastern Wisconsin NORML meeting for members, prospective members and the general public starts at 7:00PM at the Rochambo Coffee & Tea House located at 1317 E. Brady Street, Milwaukee, WI. You are invited to join Wisconsin’s emerging leader in cannabis (marijuana) law reform.

We support the freedom to grow, distribute, use industrial hemp, medical cannabis, and responsible adult use that ends Cannabis Prohibition. We are working to reform current Wisconsin laws in all areas, however we could use some help from the citizens of Wisconsin. Despite our State Motto being Forward, we are falling behind legislatively compared to our neighboring States. Join us or join www.wiscan.org or any other NORML Chapter or other Cannabis Reform Organization in the State close to you and get involved with making a Bill Pass for Wisconsin! If you need help or can volunteer, yet don’t know how, just contact us anytime at admins@SEWisconsinNORML.org

It’s time to reclaim our freedom to make our own choices, fix our economy, help out patients, empty our over crowed prisons of non-violent cannabis offenders, end the drug related violence created by prohibition, stop the misinformation amongst the general public.

disc-golf-pictureAfter a recent Harvest Fest Planning meeting came an announcement and Facebook Event for a Pre Harvest Open Disc Golf Tournament on Saturday September 22nd, 2012 at Heistand Park in Madison.

 

Here is the event listing and link to the Facebook Event:  http://www.facebook.com/events/210468092412778/

 

Dear Friends,

 

Due to a shortage of available funds to pay for insurance for The Great Midwest Harvest Festival, I have teamed up with several other interested parties to organize The 1st Annual Pre-Harvest Open Disc Golf Tournament or PHO for short. This tournament will take place on Saturday, September 22nd, at Heistand Park in Madison.

 

The format of the tournament will be two rounds of best-shot doubles, with the first round being played to determine what pool (Flight) you will play in during the second round. The cost will be $70 per team ($35 each), with a 60% payout in prize money, and the remaining 40% going to benefit Harvest Fest.

 

We would love to make this an annual event, so it is important that the first PHO gets off to a good start. We cannot do this without your help. There will be need for several volunteers, and any small contribution of time, money, or know how is greatly appreciated! I have seen this type of fundraiser work for other causes and with the growing popularity of the sport, I am extremely confident that it can work for us.

 

If you have any further questions or concerns, I will gladly answer them. Please feel free to email me mrvandy123@gmail.com. I will be directing the tournament, and we already have several sponsors lined up, so we are DEFINITELY off to a good start. Let’s keep the ball (or disc) rolling!!!

 

Sincerely and gratefully yours,

 

Mike Vandenberg

Tournament Director
