  The past year's events were discussed and it was decided to repeat them this year (see events page). In addition, we will have a Winter Blues Breakfast on Mar 15 at Delta 109. We also have the opportunity to group camp at Mohican Aug. 8-10 as Cheryl got us in through the lottery draw.
Large mugs with an FCOHC design were given to 15 individuals drawn from those who turned in trail and saddle hours. Winners were Ron Cowell, Michelle and Rod Miller, Connie Bauer, Caron and Daryl Maines, Myndi Dawes, Elizabeth Campbell, Christine Vance, Beth Haas, Marni and Scott Steele, Flo Hannum, Polly Alvarez, Donna Gray.
Lisa suggested a blackstone grill raffle for Cowboy Christmas this year.
Jack told us about a Jr Ambassador program presented at the January Winter State meeting. It is for youth members 17 and under and consists of logging activities and getting involved in their local chapter. There will be awards in each district and statewide. Kathy Brown has information which is also available on the state website.
There will be a meeting of the NW district on Feb 22, 10 a.m. at The Juniper Brewing Co. in BG.  This is a planning meeting for the Regional State Ride at Van Burn in September.  Note: location was changed to BWW in BG.
