Ron, thanks for the info, you guys have done a great job, I hope we can do the same here in Maine.
I cant express enough, how much of a team effort it is, including wives, children, etc, helping get memberships, raffle tickets, etc. During our fight, I think we went from 800 members, to 3400 that year. Us guys built the cabin, and I for one didnt hunt my dogs but a handful of times that yearlaneysplott wrote:Ron, thanks for the info, you guys have done a great job, I hope we can do the same here in Maine.
I wasn't the only one either. If we wasnt getting the cabin and things set up, we were at meetings etc. The end result after the raffle, members and money. The polititions seen votes and money. That simple. Very sad but true. We negotiated and lost a few things then, but 12 years later, we have gained that, and a lot more. Since we have won the fight, i have stepped off the front lines, and let someone else carry the flag, but the president of the wbha, has been through every step of this and is current on todays issues also. If one of you guys heading this thing up, wants to talk with him about our annual meeting and a membership drive, or maybe they would even contibute a little money, pm me and i will give you his cell phone number, to get in touch with him.
