April/May 2006
Greetings to all!! WOW! What a fantastic last few weeks
OWSD has been having. April 7, 8, and 9 was a fantastic weekend of classes and a
great presentation you can read about in the convention article in this
newsletter. What you will not be able to read about or know is the friendships,
the accomplishments, and the triumphs that the weekend held for all who
attended. The first time to pull a bow back, the first time using your hands to
mix the ingredients for deer breakfast sausage, the first time turning on your
GPS and actually knowing how to use it, the first time making a dish in a Dutch
oven--and the list goes on for each and every class. more
2006 OWSD Convention
Submitted by May Schaefer,
President
Outdoor Women of South Dakota.
WOW!! What a great weekend
of classes, presentations, opportunities!! The annual OWSD Convention was held
April 7, 8, and 9 in Mitchell, South Dakota. The weekend started off with an
icebreaker sponsored by Cabela’s in Mitchell at their store with great food
provided by Cabela’s, Howard Cold Storage & Lockers in Howard, SD, and by
board members who brought munchies, crackers, wild game, and drinks. The ladies
met each other, visited, and then it was off to shop with Cabela’s generous
discount for the evening. more
Thank you. I would like to take a moment to thank each and every one of the sponsors across the state that donated trips, events, merchandise and money to the recent OWSD Annual Convention that was held April 7, 8, and 9, 2006, in Mitchell. The support that you have shown OWSD over the years has been great! We thank you and appreciate you as we strive to promote hands on education and participation in outdoor activities with a primary focus on women and children.
