The 51st annual Texas Outdoor Writers conference offered a lot for everyone, including battling breezes.
First 25 mph gusts were from the south, then from the north as a cold front blew in. While some outdoor activities were curtailed, plenty still went on inside.
Those of you who attended know the seminars and speakers could lead to story ideas and profits from expanding into new media and social networking.
First, welcome two new board members who were elected at our general membership meeting – Peggy York, who also is our recording secretary, and Steve LaMascus.
On behalf of the board of directors, I welcome their service to the organization while thanking the two departing board members for their dedication – Earl Nottingham, who led the redesign of the web site and will continue to shepherd it, and Barry St. Clair.
For those who were not able to be with us from Feb. 26-28 at Port Royal Resort & Conference Center in Port Aransas, here is a little of what you missed (besides one of the best places we’ve ever met).
