The B.I.G. MOE 2011

Our Team of instructors Rick, Donna,& brother Albert had a fullfilled day teaching Tree Stand Safety. Excellent weather brought out some enthused participants at the MOE on Sunday September 25th 2011. Though it was a tedious task we instilled the importance to be connected from the time you leave the ground until you return. It makes it all worth while knowing we had a positive effect.

The following is an email I received from fellow Board Member Gary Zima.

Gerry

The Expo did go over quite well this year. Thanks again for your support and conducting another great station this year. I heard a number of very positive comments from participants who were at the station. While conducting exit surveys at the end of the day, one individual listed tree stand safety as their best activity station at Expo! Congrats again for all your hard work.
