PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Greetings everyone! I have a short but important report for this month.
A very special THANK YOU to the following folks for making the 2009 State Fair and “Pathways to Trapping” educational exhibit a huge success – Frank O’Dell, Tyler Haase, Eric Seykora, Morgan Jonson, Glen Baltrusch, Scott Evens, Bob and Alice Gangl, John Paulson, Brent Ternes, Jerome Koenig, Jeremy Duckwitz, Phil Mastrangelo, Joel and Cory Lyons, Ron and Danielle Gore, Vernon Edinger, Pat Lothspeich, Jeff Long, and Greg Gullickson.
With a state fair attendance this year of around 265,000 people, just think of how many lives you’ve touched with your personal efforts, experience and knowledge. Thank you for your work in providing a future for us in North Dakota.
If this gets in your hands before the 22nd of August, don’t forget about the rendezvous in Northwood. Ron Gore has done a tremendous amount of work to put on a great event. Let’s hope the weather holds — everything else for a great time is in place. Chris and I hope to see you there.
Remember to keep your membership current so you stay informed. Until next time, take care and be safe.
Catch ‘ya.
— Rick Tischaefer
