Announcements:
Guests: Karole Campbell brought Eliza Hill of “Sherwood Showdown” to breakfast today. Heather Smith brought her employee, Faith Sparrow, who will attend for her when she is unable to attend.
Chris Waldron is retiring January 1st. He is currently working on the new owner to assume his membership but wasn’t certain. So, if you know any best-in-class photographers who would like to join our group, bring them to a meeting. He is still doing pictures for our website during December, if you need one…call him quickly!
We held our nominations for the new board members today. Our newest board members are Tom Perkins-President, Bob Cook-Vice President, general board members are Jessica Duru, Jason Leimkuhl, and Ray Whitcomb. They will all serve from January to December 2026. As a reminder we meet on the third Tuesday of every month.
Our continuing board members, John Autry, Mark Copelin, Tom Stewart, and Rick Ward will serve till June 2026.
We would also like to extend our gratitude to Jay Dahlberg, Steve Lebel, and Heather Smith for their service to the board this year. We appreciate all you have done for the Prospectors Association.
We still have openings for the 2026 Craft Talks. My next opening will be in July. If you are interested in serving as a replacement should anyone need to reschedule, let me know by email at secretary@prospectorsassociation.com.
We have several categories to fill in the group such as Auto Mechanic, Eye Doctor, and Photographer to highlight a few so if you know any best-in-class candidates for the group, please invite them to a meeting.
