A Message from the President By Bill Indoe
It’s hard to believe that the year is almost over. As in the past, much appreciation goes out to Diana at the office, the officer team, and all the directors and committee chairs. Also, a big shout out to Melissa for our great magazine!! The office has had the roof redone, sidewalk and railing upgraded, lighting and paint on the interior. Projects that were much needed and will increase the value of our building.

We ended up with a very good 88-point Red Jordy from an excellent dam and a very good 85-point Undenied from an 88-point Goldwyn. We had another 2-Year- Old Awesome-Red just

District 5 is planning a great weekend for us and we should all be there to support the association and enjoy some fellowship with our Holstein friends. Enjoy the holiday season and may you all have a prosperous 2022!
