It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is less than three weeks away. In honor of this special day, I would like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to each of you for your continued commitment to RMOWP, its stewardship of the great outdoors, and your quest to improve your craft. From our executive director to board members to committee members to conference participants and to each and every one of you, I would like to thank you for your generosity, dedication, time, and willingness to continue to share your gifts, talents, and friendship.
As 2022 draws to a close, we also look forward to the future. In 2023, RMOWP will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. Our next conference will be held in Los Alamos, New Mexico, October 3-6. And you will elect a new president. It has been my great honor to serve you, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for RMOWP.
In this season of gratitude, David and I extend our warmest Thanksgiving greetings to you, your family, friends, and loved ones. We wish each of you a joyous celebration full of love, good food, and many blessings.
