PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Hi, Everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well so far this summer. First, I would like to say thank you to everyone who believes in me, to be a good President. We have a great board of officers to help with the decision-making and past officers to help guide us into the future. Don’t forget this is your organization – everyone has a voice in it!
The spring meeting and fur collection turned out to be another good day. I would like to thank Steve Leeds for picking up the hoagies, Dan Wolff for getting the key and cleaning up after, Ed McCay for bringing the doughnuts, Curt Corson for driving the fur to PA, and Clint Ekelman for donating a skunk and a muskrat. I’m sorry if I missed anyone, because everyone’s help is truly appreciated.
We had a good turn out for the meeting. Here is a quick rundown of the new officers: Ron Diehl – President, Dan Wolff – Vice President, Andy Janson – Secretary, Curt Haberman – Treasurer/Membership Officer, Fred Stine – NTA Director, Joe Papai – FTA Representative, Steve Decker – Northern Director, Ed McCay – Central Director, Curt Corson – Southern Director, and last but not least Rick Kern – Fur Manager. If you have any questions all of our officers are always willing to help. There is a page in the newsletter with phone numbers and e-mail addresses for the officers.
Steve Decker, Ron Ververs, and myself set up the NJFH Booth at the Batsto Village Decoy Show in May. We had a great time and the weather was good. We talked trapping with some folks and educated a few youngsters. They also asked us to come back in September, which we will talk about at the summer meeting.
Try to make it to our annual summer meeting and BBQ. It will be at Ed McCay’s home in Nesco near Hammonton this year. His address and directions will be in the newsletter. There will be a lot of things to go over at the meeting such as the Tuckerton Decoy Show, Trappers Ed classes and our Convention. We also need to pick an animal scene for our stretcher board raffle. Any and all other suggestions for the good of the organization are welcome, so bring your ideas. If anyone has any questions give me a call or drop me an email. See you at the BBQ.
— Ron Diehl
