November President’s Message
Congratulations and Thank You to everyone who helped put on a successful Annual Show and Sale, Oct. 25, 2025 at the Oregon State Fair. An event like this demonstrates that it really takes a team of people, each playing their part, to make it all happen. We had a great team! You did a terrific job! It all went very smoothly. Thank you!
Congratulations to our show winners. You can find the top three placings listed for each of the divisions in the next newsletter.
There are two other things I want to call to your attention.
-
The election of 2026 Club officers is upon us. Ballots will be emailed out to you later this month. You need to return them by mail, email, or in person at the Dec. 13 club meeting and Christmas Pot-Luck meal.
-
Our Club Christmas Party and Pot-luck dinner will be Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025 at noon. We will be meeting at the Clackamas Community Club, where our regular meetings are held. We will set up at 11:30 am and eat around noon. Table service and drinks will be provided. Please bring a Pot-luck item of your choice to share. We will announce our 2026 club officers and enjoy taking birds and one another’s company. I hope you will join us!
Yours in the Bird Raising Hobby,
Dan Pitney
