PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Feb. 20 to 22, 2009, was the Boat Show and Turkey Expo in Indianapolis at the Fairgrounds. We made over $2,000 this year. I would like to thank everyone that helped with the booth.
March 28 is the NTA Midwest conference in Bloomington, IL. Stu and I will be attending this year. If anyone else is interested, contact Stu.
April 11 is the Spring General Membership Meeting in Lafayette, IN. It will begin at 10 a.m. This is an important event. Mark you calendar and plan to attend. Your newsletter is in the mail with all of the details. I would like to thank Amy Crum, Monica Olson, Frank Lamm, Travis Allen and Stu Grell for all of their work that went into the newsletter. I have already received several positive compliments on it.
The ISTA Web site should be up and running the first week of March. Check out our new look!
Hope you had a good trapping season.
— Ron Elliott
