APRIL 12TH MEET
THE MEMBER MEETING
MEET THE MEMBER MEETING was well attended and gave everyone a good idea of some of the people that come to the meetings and what they do. Networking is an important part of our Association. We were able to have everyone talk about themselves and their businesses.
We plan on doing this again in April of 2013. A question I missed asking everyone was “why are you a member of the LRBA”? The answers would be varied I am sure. Our next meeting will be our Annual Picnic with the Trap Shoot, and should be a lot of fun. The final drawing until fall is $120.00. Members and their spouses only are to register for the drawing. Don’t miss out, because we will draw until we have a winner this time. We will be giving out an award for a Life Spike reaching 25 credits. Come see who!

MAY 9TH MEETING
WILL BE OUR ANNUAL PICNIC COMBINED WITH OUR ANNUAL TRAP SHOOT. It will be held at the Sportsmen’s Club on Highway 10 East of Detroit Lakes about 2 -2 ½ miles. There will be a sign at the bottom of the driveway. You do not have to shoot to attend!!!! Bring your family and come for a picnic and watch the shooters. There will be a couple of very interesting stations. We have two Station Sponsors - B & M Electric and Modern Heating and Plumbing. We are looking for 3 more station sponsors.

MY VIEW by Sharon Westerholm, EO
Summer is a comin’!!! People seem to be getting busier all the time. That is a good thing. Lots of Legislative things are going on. The Fire Sprinkler ruling still has not been put to bed. The Governor has stated that he will veto any bill that comes through with the mandate that they not be put in single family homes. Right now it is in the House and Ways and Means committee. If this option goes to the Governor he may not veto it, as labor unions are behind the mandate, where as the Fire Fighters union is against the mandate. BAM is working hard on getting this mandate removed. Read more...
