PRESIDENT’S REPORT
TFTA FALL MEET: Will be held at The Pearls of Christ Church Picnic Shelter in McMinnville, TN on Hwy. 56 on October 1st, 2011 at 9:00 am CDT. This meeting will be held at a shelter rain or shine. There is a very large outdoor and indoor shelter there. There will be signs pointing the way. Everyone invited. Trapping supply dealers and tail gaters welcome at no charge. This meeting will be a pot luck type luncheon, so bring a covered dish if possible. Coffee and cold drinks will be provided by the TFTA at no cost.
Please bring a donation item for our fund raising auction if possible. We will be having some trapping and snaring and demo’s and possibly some fur handling demos also . If you do not know how to put up your fur correctly here is your chance to learn before the next trapping season is upon you. This way you will be able to receive a better price for your fur at the up coming fur auctions. For more information contact Jerry Scott 931-692–2035 or Chris Jacobsen 615-672-8546.

This fall is the election year for the TFTA. All current members should have received an official election ballot and envelope. Members can choose to return their ballot to the Election committee Chairman, Lolly McMurtry by mail or bring their ballot in person to the annual fall meet at the Pearls of Christ Church. Thanks to the TFTA election committee Clarence Dies, Roger Seward and Lolly McMurtry for their help.
At this meeting, the TFTA election will be held. The ballots will be opened and counted in the presence of the general membership. The new officers will be announced at the meeting and will begin to serve their term. TFTA directors are appointed by the president. If any member would like to help out as a TFTA director, please contact the TFTA president for more information.
At the time of this report, the TFTA Fur Auction dates and locations have not yet been set for the 2011-2012 season. They will be discussed at the fall meeting with the members present along with other association business for the upcoming New Year.
I look forward to seeing you at the fall meeting.
Thanks.
