September 2024

​

Wow convention is coming up fast! The convention portal is now open so I figure everyone is having the same struggle picking their entries - it’s always a toss up on who finishes or holds their coat between entering and time to load up for the trip - Remember entries close Monday September 30th!

 

🐇 New directors - we’ve already announced our new VP but incase you missed it, Jenny Poprawski will be our new VP - Congratulations again!

 

In addition to Jenny we will be welcoming 3 new members to our board of directors

Zone 2 Desiree Guadagnolo (Dworzecki)

Zone 4 Austin Nash

Zone 6 Rachael Close

 

I am looking forward to this next year, exploring new ideas and hearing what our new officers have to offer - all new directors will take over at the close of convention.

 

A very special thank you to Allen, Chris, Ashlynn and Stacy for your service. Your time on our board is very much appreciated and we will miss each of you very much.
