As we start the process of selecting the next officer team, we wanted to thank you for a successful year and give you a 'year in review.' When the current officer team took over last year, we saw much potential for improvement and proposed a list of goals for 2009-2010 including planning several new activities and events. We are proud to say that we've checked off almost every goal we set, and seen membership and participation increase greatly. Just to remind you, here is what we've done this year in addition to the great weekly C-Barn rounds and CALF Team:
-Food Animal Symposium- 25 outside vets attended for the CE, resounding positive feedback; 2nd annual symposium already in the works
-Cows and Climate Change lecture
-Classical Swine Fever, AASV Seminar
-Parasitology wet-lab
-Tulare Introduction lecture
-Beef Quality Assurance lecture (Fort Dodge last hurrah)
-Feedlot Medicine lecture
-Food Animal Activist Media Training
-Townhall Meeting with Dean Osburn
-Beef Symposium- collaboration with several outside groups
-Picnic Day 'Amazing Ruminant Display
-Participating in Future Day for High School Students (May 2nd)
-Annual BBQ (May 12)'
-Ultra-sound wetlab (May 18)
-Antibiotic Resistance panel (Up Coming )
-Small Ruminant Seminar (Up Coming)
So, a BIG thank you to all who have attended these things, volunteered, and supported FARM Club in general. We have built up great momentum and have become a visibly active club, which was our main goal! We still have lots of room to grow and new ideas yet to be rolled out. If you have a desire to contribute your ideas and talents to FARM Club and become part of the process as we build- run for office! There are many different needs and roles to be filled, so please consider joining us.
Nominations are open starting today!! (https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGJKbVhwckl1bWViMFFYbmU3WkJHZmc6MQ )
They will run through next Wednesday, May 5th. Voting will take place the week of May 5th - May 12th and the new officers will be announced at our annual end of the year BBQ on May 12th.
