The TAG meeting had a lot of attendance tonight. A few new 4x4 groups there now. Several folks mentioned they had missed our, (NWFA), presence for the last 3 meetings. It's because of my work and the drive time on Thursday nights. It is hard for me to get there sometimes. (That's why I was hoping for someone to help me out with these meetings). But I made it tonight and it was worth it.
Biggest issue of the night was about the upcoming clean up event "Pick Up The Burn". Scheduled for Sat, May 7th, 2016. Sign in is at 8 AM at Jones Creek Trail Head. This year will be a bigger than last year. There are more recreational groups and will be more promotions for the event.
Last year NWFA raised a donation of $300 toward the BBQ Lunch and Tread Lightly gave a grant of $500 towards lunch. This year, the Tread Lightly grant is for $1000!
We need to show up in force for this event. It's the big event of the year where all recreational groups come together and clean up the whole mountain in one day. Really a lot of fun, good people and good raffle prizes. We need to make a showing of at least 20 people (Oregon is welcome).
In another part of the meeting, I had the opportunity to talk about our clean up schedule and introduced the coming of our Target Shooter Information booth (with details of what it is and its purpose). I also talked a bit about the Tillamook shooting lane planning stages and the benefits of developing such lanes on public land.
Good meeting. Next meeting, last one before the "Pick Up The Burn" event, is Thurs, April 7th at 6 PM at the Dollars Corner Fire Station. If anyone would like to join me, send me a message or post here.
