Message From The NWPA President

Feb.22, 2008

Dear Fellow NWPA Members,

Hope calving is going well for you!

Just a couple of reminders:

The meeting on March 1, 2008 will be postponed until a later date. I will advise you of a new date as soon as I have one. I will be setting up a teleconference for the Executive Committee and will call each of them with the details.

There is a new address for the NWPA and it is as follows: Northwest Pinzgauer Association 294 NW 2"d "'AVE.- PMB # 240 Canby, OR 97013. The facility where our box was previously held is going out of business as of Feb. 29, 2008.

Arrangements for the National Show are coming right along. We have the hotel rooms blocked; judges for both shows, arrangements for the dinner/auction are in the works, etc. Watch for more when the next issue of The Journal arrives.

Speaking of The Journal, Pam needs photos and articles to include in the official publication of our breed so let's help her out!!!

Rick Boyer is has been busy rounding up the heifers for the Futurity auction at the Youth Fair in May so get ready for that.

I have all of the information for the International Congress to be held in the Slovak Republic from Aug. 22, 2008 - Sept. 1, 2008. Let me know if you want the details. I will also ask Kurt to put the info on our website. I'm sure the Northwest will have some people going!

Dues are due!!! The deadline has been extended to Feb. 29, 2008 because the notice was late coming out in The Tails.

We're still working on a field trip for the NWPA Juniors - don't give up on us!
