Letter from the President - June 2009

Hello from the Upper Midwest Horseshoers Association,

This letter is both a survey and invitation to local farriers that have expired memberships to rejoin the Upper Midwest Horseshoers Association. These newsletters are usually sent only to paid members due to mailing costs. To get on the regular mailing list please make sure your membership is current.

This spring we failed to communicate effectively with most of you about the Spring Clinic which was held at a new location this year. This is a common problem effecting many association that I know of. We moved the Spring Clinic on relatively short notice and were unable to reach all of our members with enough notice. Every effort is being made to plan our events well enough in advance so that everyone can make plans in time and attend if they wish. Also, the www.umha.info website is updated regularly and can always be checked for upcoming dates.

I need input from our local farriers and members as to what kinds of clinics they would like to see and what they would like to do and learn. An association is only as strong and active as our members so please help me to make this a better association.

Please email your suggestions to: mvpfarrierservice@sbcglobal.net

Thank You,
Vern Powell, CJF
UMHA President
