The challenges of 2012 are rooted in the need to manage and survive growth.  Our small and aging staffs are about maxed out.  We absolutely must  get some of the many new and highly qualified members into Directorships at the March 24^th Annual Meeting.  We also need help with the website, newsletter and database.  I am reasonably optimistic that we will get this help.  Our main task will be to support the chapters and their programs, but we will still conduct several national and regional events in 2012.  The Annual Meeting will be conducted at the Hammond Indiana Cabela’s store conference center on Saturday March 24^th at 1:00 PM.  The 42^nd annual Camp Independence weekend survival and self-reliance event will take place at the group camp facilities at Tippecanoe River State Park in north central Indiana between May 4^th and 6^th.  A “hard core” members and guests only survival training camp will be conducted in southern Indian on or about August 10^th.  We will again sponsor multiple local preparedness education programs in September.  Live Free will also participate in many gun shows and survival related exhibitions.  Flyers will be mailed out for these events.  Non members wanting more details can e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

  Thanks to everyone for their support in 2011.  We look forward to building a self-reliance network and spreading preparedness and survival knowledge in 2012.
