PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Hello from Hot Southern Oklahoma,
Darrell Woodward and I attended the NTA meeting in Lima, Ohio this time and Paul Dobbins and another gentleman from North Carolina made the NTA Hall of Fame. We sat with Jim Curran at the meeting and he talked very highly of Monte and new him well. We found out that they selected the nominees a year in advance and the application is good for three years so Monte has a chance in the coming years.
We will be having our Fall Meeting on Oct 12,2013 at Okemah at the fairgrounds .We will have several venders to help you get your supplies ready for the coming season so bring your lists so you know where to start and then you can view all the new supplies and lures. We will have Mark June Lures and supplies—-Dub Shankles with his supplies– Jeb Hollingshead with Okie Trap and Supplies—Terry Waggoner with his box traps—Clifton Ray with his CDR lures and several other lure makers.

With the urging of several of the members I have decided to run again for the office of President and if elected to another term as President of OFBA, I will strive to continue the progress we have gained the last couple of years. I look forward to working with the new directors towards common goals of Oklahoma trappers. The new directors will bring new ideas and enthusiastic energy that will help propel us forward. I feel we need the input of the experienced and knowledgeable former directors and seasoned members as they have formed the foundation that we are building on.
I have worked hard in the past and will continue my efforts to better serve our organization. I look forward to working with our members as you the members are the OFBA. Feel free to call me at any time to discuss any topic you want to, I will be glad to help all. 580-371-3364.
