Membership Secretary's Report: April 2010
VTA is growing!! We had a successful membership sign-up at Expo at the Western
Sportsman Show and the VTA Fur Sale. I understand it was the first time we have
had so many sign-ups at our sportsman show booth.
We were pleasantly surprised at the fur prices at our fur sale. They were
better than expected. One youngster got $6 for a possum, and another lucky new
member got close to $200 for a muskrat. He donated that muskrat for our VTA
50/50 raffle and he won 1/2 the proceeds. All furs donated for the 50/50 were
auctioned off as a whole, and the winning name drawn got 1/2 the proceeds and
the VTA got the other 1/2.
Since January1, 2010, we now have 53 new members of which 10 are new Juniors.
At the Fur Sale, a Mr. Jones, member in District 10, signed up and paid for 6
grandsons, all new Junior members now. Thank you Mr. Jones!!
The new members are totaled in Districts as follows: District 0
(out-of-state): 2 new members, District 1: 4, District 2: 3, District 3: 1,
District 4: 13, District 5: 11, District 6: 4, District 7: 1, District 8:
3, District 9: 2, District 10: 8, and District 11: 1.
Our VTA membership now totals 674. I would like to see us pass the 700 mark!
I think everyone that helped at the Sportsman Show booth and the Fur sale did an
excellent job. Thanks to Cierra Colvin for selling so many raffle tickets.
Our next large event will be the VTA Convention....so see you there!!!
Thanks for all your patience and support,
Dickie Craig
