The Spring Board
Welcome to the Spring Board! This column is designed to connect the general membership with the Board of Directors and to focus on important association business.
Membership Directory
Please note that the annual Membership Directory will now be enclosed in the December Marker rather than the March issue. It is hoped that this will better reflect our membership list. However, you must pay your 2010 dues by February 15, 2010 in order to receive your March Marker. Markers are only sent to members after they have paid the current years dues.
Update On Registrations
As of January 1, 2010 all sheep registration papers will be sent directly to AccuRegister and membership dues will be sent to the Secretary, Kate Lowder. New registration and membership dues forms with correct mailing addresses are enclosed in this issue and will be available for downloading on the forms page. In addition, forms with correct mailing addresses will be enclosed in all 2010 issues of the Marker.
Website
Our new webmaster will be giving our website an overhau. Our goal is to have a new look and all files loaded and working properly as soon as possible in 2010.
Attention Advertisers
If you wish to renew your business card or other ads in the Marker for 2010, please make out your check to NCWGA and send it to P.O. Box 748 Beavercreek, Or 97004 by February 15, 2010. Rates remain the same and are posted at the back of this issue.
Volunteers Still Needed
Please remember that our association is non-profit and that we depend upon volunteers to fill all our Board and Regional Director positions. There still is a vacant board position for the Executive Director in the Central area. This position needs to be filled by a member in District 2/Region 3.
