From the Rack Room
Wow , time again for another issue . As we move forward in the revamping of our organization there are going to be growing pains . Some of them may be small and not detectable , others may be easily seen . With this issue there are few more changes .
The first BIG change is the paper choice . In an effort to print more copies per issue , we have elected to change to a more cost friendly paper . By doing this we were able to increase our total number of copies by 50 %, while lowering the cost by 25 %. This will also give us more monies for the ground projects in the upcoming year .
You may also notice our advertising is increasing as well . We are always looking to gain new companies to help us get our word out . So , if you can help or know someone who can , please send them our way ! We are also looking to add a ‘ classified ’ section . If you have a service or an item to sell , and you would like a state wide ad , email us . We will work at getting you going .
I have had a question concerning wildlife ( deer ) projects for us to be involved in . Well , now is the time ! In this issue you will see a flyer about a planting project . This is a one month project to take place in the Boise foothills . Approximately 1,200 acres of winter range was damaged in last summer ’ s fires . The planting is a two-step process , so help is greatly needed ! Now is the time to show our support and work to help our wildlife ( deer ). The flyer will give you the details .
Lastly , but not by order of importance , it is Banquet Season ! There are a lot of organizations that will welcome your support . We are hoping that ours is high on your list of attending . This year ’ s banquet is going to be a blast ! It will be Ike ’ s last as Banquet Chairman , and we want to make sure he ends it with a bang ! Our firearms alone are over $ 10,000 in value , and many , many more prizes to win ! It will be at the Nampa Civic Center . There will be great food , great friends , great information , and great fun to be had . The flyer and sign-up are in this issue as well . Hoping you are able to make it and join us , we look forward to seeing you !
George Nelson , President
