Comments from the Sec/Treas

December 2011

 

Happy holidays to everyone! Thank you to all of you who have sent in your state and NHPA dues to get your

2012 membership cards. I have had a very busy time with work lately so I’m behind in my correspondence. I

will get these cards out to you as soon as I can. My job has changed a lot since I took on the Secretary/Treasurer

position and I did not anticipate having to travel this much. Thank you for your patience!

 

The 2011 cards expire on December 31st so please send in your dues by then. All tournament directors will look

for you to have your 2012 cards in order to pitch in tournaments starting January 2012.  You can find a member-

ship application on the FSHPA website at http://fshpa.com/member.htm.  Just print it, fill it out COMPLETELY

and mail it to me (address is at the end of the application). Or you can hand it to me in person if we see each

other at a tournament.  

 

Give some thought to how you want to receive the newsletter. If you have a computer with internet access you

can print the current and past newsletters from www.fshpa.com. Read it there or print it off for yourself. Reducing

mailing costs will help the charter!

 

Longevity patches have been ordered from NHPA. You should be getting them shortly. Congratulations to all!

We’re always learning in life and change is always around us.  Whether it’s about horseshoes or just to enjoy all the moment to moment precious blessings we’ve been given. I hope you are enjoying your moments on the courts this season.  I just pitched a 31% average for 5 games—even though I entered with a 53%.  I just couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong, but my competitors (who know how I normally pitch) just gave me encouraging words.  Even though I lost all 5 games, I came away having enjoyed my day out in the sunshine and the fellowship. Dale & I went out in the backyard the next day and I had no trouble with my game. Speaking of change – attitudinally or otherwise, our FSHPA could use someone to chair the Publicity and Promotions committee.  Could it be you?  I’m waiting to hear from you.
