UTA Meeting at Joe Morley's Bar-B-Q in Midvale
Starts at 6:00 p.m.

We have a HUGE meeting coming up that you could win some great prizes…. Need to show up to see what they are!  One of my personal goals for the UTA was to create meaningful positions within the association, and now is that time, and here is where we need your participation for the association. Yes you! We will be hosting a dinner at Joe Morley's Bar-B-Q in Midvale on Friday, May 25th, to discuss how we can make the association something to look forward to each month versus once a year.

One item we plan on discussing is the board, new board members (we currently have 10 areas), and their responsibilities. 
A board member's current responsibility is to promote the art of taxidermy through our association by inviting nonmembers to join and learn. We have a ton of ideas we would like to add to this…  A lot of our current board members are no longer members or active with the association. We are looking for you to volunteer and help us create the best association we can.
