ATTENTION: To all NAPgA members and members of the Pack Goat Community.
UPDATE ON FUND RAISING PROJECT: A message from the president.
On March 23rd, 2018, we reached out to our membership asking for support with our current funding to help with our legal fees. All of you stepped up to help with our cause and we had an overwhelming response.
I personally would like to thank each of you and all the organizations that made donations to our fund drive. I am honored to report to you that during the last month we have raised almost eight thousand dollars. We could not have done this without your support and dedication to the future of goat packing. A very heart felt thank you to all of you.
Your Board Members, Treasurer and President want you to be informed as to where all our finances are going. We will be posting a financial report in our quarterly NAPgA newsletter showing you exactly what our legal fees are and exactly where your funds are being spent. I have great confidence in our Board of Directors and the skill set that each one of them brings to the table. Their input weighs heavily on all direction and decisions that are taking place in NAPgA’s future in moving forward and in securing your rights to use pack goats on public lands. I also have enormous faith and confidence in our very talented attorney Andrew Irvine who has continued to provide wisdom, representation and positive direction for our organization.
I have been informed by Andy and the Shoshone National Forest hearing officer that the objection process will take place on Wednesday May 2nd, 2018. The hearing officer has made the decision to conduct the objection meeting using a telephone conference and not within an office. This was partly due to the geographic location of all the objectors being so far spread out within the western states. Andy Irvine and Myself will be present representing NAPgA and several of our other members that submitted objections will be present. This will help with our finances as we will not have to ensure travel expenses to Cody, WY.
We will keep everyone informed of our progress and I look forward to serving you in the capacity of your NAPgA president. I would like to encourage as many of you as possible to attend our annual rendezvous in Island Park, ID in June 2018. We plan to have a schedule up soon on our website to include classes events and training that will be available. We look forward to our auction and fund-raising project and I project that there will be some extraordinary new saddles and equipment available. Put this on your calendars. I’m looking forward to seeing you all there and to meeting our new members.
A very sincere thank you to all of you for your continued support of this organization and our mission statement. Thank you.
