A Message from the President Bill Indoe

By Bill Indoe

A little over five years ago a friend of mine called and said he wanted me to run for Vice President. I said I shouldn’t. I had no time and then I gave a bunch of other excuses. He said didn’t care what I said, and I still don’t like you, Joe!

Anyhow, the moral to the story is that it has been a lot of fun. You get to know and work with many other people who are too busy and don’t have time and have other commitments. But they have the same passion and that’s what makes it worth it!

I’m very grateful to all the members who have helped with all the Ohio Holstein functions— Officers, directors, Diane at the office, and of course Melissa with our News. I also want to thank Tom Thorbahn for holding down the executive director position. He stepped in when the association needed some guidance, and his efforts were much appreciated. Another is Ken Janes who is stepping down as sale chairman. Ken has done so much for Ohio Holstein for many years. His contacts for selling and buying has been a huge reason for our sale success. He has worn many hats, and all is much appreciated. As we get started on a new year, I am looking forward to the new officer team and all the activities, shows, and sales. We need members! So bring your friends and neighbors to a function. And don’t let them tell you they are too busy!

Entries will be ONLINE this year.
