Dear Supporting Member:
I have some great news
for you. The Pennsylvania Outdoor
Writers Association has changed its conference schedule from TWO large
conferences per year to just ONE. And that means we will be asking our
supporting members to donate raffle items just once per year, instead of
twice.
In the past it probably
seemed like our solicitations were constant. I’m sure you’ll agree that one
conference raffle and one letter will be so much easier for both of us.
But there is a drawback.
This is YOUR ONE OPPORTUNITY this year to expose your product to the largest
state organization of outdoor communicators in the country.
The Spring conference, our
only full-scale conference this year, will take place in Oil City April 30-May
3. It will feature our annual “Excellence in Craft” awards banquet on Saturday
evening, which always brings out a big crowd. Supporting member products will be
on display before and during the banquet, and raffled off at the end of the
evening.
This is also where you can
make personal connections with some of the best outdoor communicators anywhere.
(Be looking for a letter or e-mail from Connie Yingling, our supporting member
liaison, inviting you to attend this conference in Pennsylvania’s historic oil
region.)
As chairman of the POWA Ways
& Means committee, I’m asking that you send raffle items to committee member
Harvey Bauer, 299 Jimtown Road, Brookville, PA
15825. He will log in each item and personally transport them to
the conference site. It will help us report to the membership if you also send a
quick email with a brief description of the items, copying both Harvey (bump1@windstream.net)
and me (stevesorensen@verizon.net).
Finally, on behalf of
everyone in the POWA, I thank you for being a faithful supporting member, for
the contribution you make to the Spring 2009 raffle, and for helping us raise
funds to keep POWA a strong voice representing you in the outdoor world.
With gratitude,
|
