District 7 held a spring meeting mid-April in Loys Barn near the town of Avoca, MN. It was a low turnout but it was sure nice to talk to fellow trapper’s face to face. A few other good things about the day, we gathered a few more emails so I can email my district members directly. We also signed up another member to the association. Our district collected more fur for the tanned project.  Its important to have these gatherings and make trapper connections. If you liked to be included send me your email I will add you to the list of contacts. My emails in the newsletter.

We went through an agenda/report that was also mailed out to all our district members. Discussion on MTA’s financial picture. All accounts except for General Account are healthy. Reviewed fundraisers presently being started and talked about other ideas to bring revenue to general fund. Encourage all members to write legislative representatives. Still looking for Pres., VP and secretary candidates on the MTA board.

Thanks to Schmitt Enterprise for the donation of door prizes. Thanks to Top Lot Stretchers for volunteering other prizes not needed.

Next board meeting will be at the convention. If you’re wanting to help out at the 2021 Barnum convention, contact John Bachman. Our membership meeting at the convention will be Saturday starting at 3:00pm.

Next district 7 meeting will be scheduled for Sept. watch the web site. We are also planning for a mid-September Field Training Certification day.
