It has been a pleasure serving you since last March when I was appointed to fill the 5th untimley vacancy on the NFHR board of directors. Things are a bit confusing but I guess yesterday was my last day. I would like to have continued representing the "West of the Rockies" folks but apparently that will not be the case. There are some crucial things I was NOT able to accomplish while on the BOD and that is a disappointment to me. Tasks I was unable to accomplish were an audit of our financial records and the finalization of the operations manual. I may have succeeded in getting back-ups of our critical data, but I a not sure that is completed. I did work hard and accomplish some things of which I am very proud. Our President, Neil Sorum, rightly thanked me for getting our "Versatile Norwegian Fjord" video on RFD-TV last July. All of us have the opportunity of continuing to encourage RFD-TV to air it again. Please do. One simple thing I accomplished was arrangements to occasionally send a complimentary "Versatile Norwegian Fjord" video to large groups requesting info. Meanwhile, my wife and I will continue promoting Fjords in a variety of ways. We promote very heavily to 4-H and encourage all of you to find ways to do promote Fjords, on your own. If any of you want to join my wife and I in our 4th annual Fjord display at the Spokane All Breed Expo next May, please contact us and join the fun. Recently, on BOD, I was able to get the Photo Library project off and running. Please participate by providing photos for this. NFHR already had a multitude of photos at headquarters but this project should gather more, index them and make them handier for headquarters to access for various promotional opportunities. Likewise, I was on the web-site committee and I think our committee did a very good job of choosing a company to design a newer, better website. This should happen in early 2006. I never really was able to get to know every BOD member personally, but I thank those who were very helpful and work very hard to serve NFHR membership. They know who they are. Looking forward to seeing more of you at various Fjord events. Warren Riddle
