PRESIDENT’S REPORT

WASCOE President’s Updates March, 2010

Hello my fellow WASOCE Members!

Good news! I woke up at 3:00 AM this morning freaking out about the DNR sticker for the boat – “did I get it in the mail and forget to mail in the money, is it due this year, how am I going to go fishing without it?” Maybe that’s the sign that Spring is just around the corner! Oh yeah, guess what came in the mail today?  The DNR renewal form!  That’s just plain weird!  Why can’t I have a premonition about the winning lottery numbers!?!

On behalf of WASCOE, I would like to invite each and every one of you to the WASCOE Convention in Eau Claire on April 23^rd and 24th. Terri Polly, Amy Moldenhauer and Mary Behm have set everything up for both WRASCOE and WASCOE meetings on the 23^rd and we are working on getting “key note” speakers set up for the WASCOE Convention on the 24^th.  They also will not tell me who, but they have made arrangements with a “secret” auctioneer to call the Scholarship auction on Friday night! The hotel will have a DJ or live band for our entertainment on Friday after the banquet and auction, so plan to bring your dancing shoes!

The room rates are very affordable and should leave plenty of extra money left over that you can spend at the annual Scholarship auction!  If you have never been to our auction, you don’t know what you have been missing!

As long as it seems this winter has been, treat yourself to a couple of days in beautiful Eau Claire Wisconsin, and as an added bonus, learn what YOUR Association is doing for you! If I can get the Directors to agree, we may have a very special bonus for one of you that will be attending your first WASCOE convention!  The complete registration form is included in this newsletter.

As always, please let me know if you have any issues or concerns we can help you with.

Enjoy the rest of the newsletter!

Tom Oasen, WASCOE President
