Dear Log Rolling Friends and Family,
What a year 2011 was! With all of your help we added even MORE new tournaments, started over several new log rolling programs, and introduced many new folks to the amazing sports of log rolling and boom running!
But 2011 isn't finished yet. As we all well know, this organization and sport cannot move forward without your help. I highly encourage each and every one of you to attend this year's annual membership meeting on Saturday, November 19th in Hudson, Wisconsin.
Before this meeting, the USLRA board would be grateful if you take a few minutes to fill out the 2011 USLRA Member Survey. The results of this survey and input from the 2011 membership meeting will help the board make fair rule changes and a successful 2012 plan.
Most importantly, we are looking for new board members in 2012. Yes, a bit of work is involved, but the growth of our sport will be well worth your time. If you are interested in sitting on the USLRA Board please send your bio to: info@uslogrolling.com
We are still looking for more photos and video for our US Log Rolling Website and YouTube Page! If you have any photos or video to add, please e-mail Shana directly.
Finally, congrats to all of our 2011 Log Rolling and Boom Running WORLD Champions! You all worked very hard to earn that title and the ILRA/USLRA is honored to feature you.
I'm looking forward to an even more exciting 2012 season with new tournaments, programs, and of course, lifelong friendships. See you at the membership meeting!
Sincerely, Shana Martin USLRA President
