From the National Commander

National Commander

I’m hoping everyone had a good Holiday season and winter so far. We were unable to have an in person January board meeting, but held a virtual meeting that lasted six hours. I feel a lot was accomplished and that we are well prepared for the 2022 season. I would like to thank my staff personnel for all their input, and also the input from those members who participated. I’m sure that you have noticed by now that the Goex Plant has been sold. It looks like they will be able to continue to take care of all of our powder supply needs. I am happy to report our membership numbers are growing, as detailed in the minutes from the Board meeting. The finances are also doing well. I’d like to take this opportunity to make a very special thanks to everyone for all their donations this past year, and I hope this trend will continue. These donations allow us to do many important things over and above what has been budgeted, such as maintain our property, repair equipment, and purchase some needed equipment. I’m looking forward to seeing everybody in the spring at Nationals, and I may even see some of you sooner. Stay safe and well, and see you soon. Chuck
