Greetings to the members of the ECWBA…
ECWBA in 2014
There has not been a meeting scheduled yet for 2014. The target date for the first meeting is late January or early February. Watch for a newsletter in early January just after the New Year for meeting information. Some changes were discussed and accepted for year 2014. First, the schedule of meetings will be reduced from six meetings to four meetings per year. Also, the membership dues will be reduced to $5.00. The ECWBA will not be sponsoring a beekeeping class in 2014 (as of yet). If any experienced beekeepers are interested in setting up a class, the planning and scheduling would need to be started soon. Please let us know if you are interested in facilitating a beekeeping class.
ECWBA Library
The ECWBA maintains a library from which members can check out beekeeping books. Andy Krueger has been doing a great job as our association librarian. If you have ECWBA books, please bring them back so we can keep those books circulating. If you are exploring something new in beekeeping, the library probably has a book or DVD for you to check out. This is a valuable resource – use it to your advantage!!!
Beekeeping Notes:
Start planning for 2014 – Winter is a good time to relax with a warm cup of hot chocolate and think about next year’s beekeeping. If you have some experience, this could be the year to mentor a new beekeeper. If you are new to beekeeping, search out those mentors.
On behalf of the East Central Wisconsin Beekeepers Association, I would like wish all of you, your families and friends, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
