Hello again to everyone. Hope all is well and you are keeping busy this year. I know it seems to be a little slower this year than in the past but hope that things will pick up soon with our economy.
   

 We have reserved the Best Western Regency House Hotel  at 140 Route 23 North in Pompton Plains, NJ 07444 for the  this years’ competition and convention. The show will be Friday, July 23 through Sunday, July 25. That leaves everyone plenty of time to get your competition pieces done for the show.
   

I would like to thank Jim Dowd for his donations to our auction. Also a very special thanks to John Janelli for his wonderful donation of a muzzle loader to the club. Thanks again to Brenda Riley for providing such great support to our organization by storing and transporting our back boards and supplies.
 

   We have new board members who are really starting to show their colors to the club. Jason Wizner has taken the bull by the horns and already donations are starting to come in. Thanks Jason.
  

  With such a great group of people working hard this year’s show is shaping up. Looking forward to another great show. Plan on attending the seminars to learn some new techniques. Seminars will be posted in the show newsletter. Also please send any hunting, fishing photos to: lindamae@optonline.net so we can publish your accomplishments in the upcoming newsletters.
