It is October and we have started our 2009 season, I hope all of you shot and had a great time. Hunting season is either over or will be for the most part by now; it was a typical year for me Elk 1 – Bob 0. Ok to start off, the agenda Items for the upcoming meeting in Vegas are on the Document section of the NFAA web site, pay close attention to the agenda Items submitted by the Council (here it is as written):

Submitted by: NFAA Council
Rationale: To allow the NFAA Directors to do business in a more timely manner.
Proposed change: The By-laws may be amended or revised by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors, as voted at a
Physical or electronic meeting or by mail ballot.

     My only question is if what they did was so legal then why are they wanting to change the Constitution now. There is also an item proposed by the SE Section that does the same thing only spelled out differently. Oh well as I have said before why don’t we just through out the Book and go "commando". All that I can say now is I am trying to represent you and keep the Higher up’s in the NFAA HONEST. Please take a look at all of the Items (http://www.nfaa-archery.org/about/documents.cfm  They are the first on the list)  E-Mail me how you want me to vote. I have one other item I need to discuss with you:

     I have been approached by the Arizona Director and our Councilwomen (Frank and Becky Pearson) to run for the SW Sectional Council position, the election would be at the Sectional Outdoor in June of 09 and would be in effect in January 2010. I need to know how all of you feel prior to the National Meeting in February 09. I can not be both Council and Director, but I can be State President and Councilman. As president I can appoint a person to be Director for the remainder of the 2010 year (Jan to July) until we have elections in July of 2010. I have mixed feelings but I have wanted this for a while but at the same time I have an obligation to the state and will not take this on without your blessings.  If you are interested in the Directors position, please contact me.

See you on the Range

We do not have a new NMBA President or NFAA Director.  We also did not get a new Member at large.

Bob Borges was elected as the state President and NFAA Director for two more years.  Joining Bob is Landy Hinsley as the Member at Large.

We also have one new addition to the executive committee family, Peggy Mc Donald.  Peggy will take over the job as Secretary and Treasurer for the state.  Please congratulate and thank her for the job.  I am sure you will be hearing from her soon.
