March 26, 2009

I would like congratulate every one who competed at the District shows and the State show and received awards and even to those who did not receive awards but did their personal best. That alone is an accomplishment that anyone should be proud of.

The following members will be getting awards from the State show and I would like to see them at the banquet to receive their award or make arrangements with me prior to get them to you.

Megan Arey, Bill Brownell, Katie Colwell, David Cumming, Halee Cummings, Betty Dyer, Rick Gaudet, Kristin Griffin, David Hamel, Sharon Higgins, Kellie Kilton, Nick Morrill, Sylvia Morrill, Jennifer Peoples, Tomi Lee Plummer, Marcia Rogers, Craig Smith, Renee Turcotte, and Terri West

This years banquet and awards will be at The Bangor Inn and Conference Center on April 19th 2009, starting at 9:00am. Directions: off exit #187 Hogan Road, The address is 701 Hogan Road, Bangor 800-244-0355

This year we are having a pizza party and the cost would be $10.00 per person $5.00 per child under 13 years. The drinks that will be provided will be Pepsi products and water, if you want anything different you are welcomed to bring your own. No alcohol beverages.

We will be collecting the money at the door when you arrive for the pizza to be ordered. Please either email me at barrelhog@yahoo.com or call me 207-625-3389 home or 603-455-9384 cell to let me know if you are coming and how many so I can have an idea.

You dont have to pay until you are at the banquet.

This years schedule at the banquet will start as follows:

District 1 at 9:00 a.m. District 2 at 10:00 a.m. State meeting at 11 a.m. Eating 12:30 - 1:00 Awards to start by 1:30 Auction to follow

We need to push this along this year and be out by 3:00pm. The agenda for the State meeting:

District Director ME02 State show set date, Format Fund Raisers new ideas, shows etc. Old business New Business

I would like to take this time to remind everyone that we do not have a District Director for ME02 at this time and we need to have one in the works before the season is to be under way. There is a threat and I hate to say it like that but the District may dissolve into one District. This is NOT my intention but will happen if no one qualified takes the initiative to take on this position. You can get an application either from the web site MaineNBHA.com or contact me for further information.
