Dear Members,

  Thanks to all the attendees for making our 25th annual banquet a successful and enjoyable evening! We have covered our bills and the seed and trees are paid for. We would like to thank all of our members for their continued support. We were able to cover our cost for seed, although the margin was still tight. Our wildlife and nature lovers thank you greatly. We hope to see you and your friends next year-this is also a wonderful event to bring your youngsters. We will hold next years banquet on March 23. Don't forget, thanks to Paul Bruce, we can also communicate on our website. Please note that Paul has set up our website with a new address. That new address is www.pflmc75.org. If anyone has any ideas for the website or would like to help with the website, please feel free to let us know as we will continue to try to keep the site updated this year.

   A big thank you goes out to our committee again this year. As always, they put on a great event which ran as smooth as silk. Linderman of course was an outstanding coorindinator getting all of our prints, displays and crew there in one piece! Glassman Auctioneers took care of our live auction again whenever they could get the microphone from our famous MC, Joe Foster - Thank you gentlemen!
