The meeting will be held at the Windsor recreation center, aspen room on the 9th from 6:30-8:30. If you would please bring refreshments let me know. Thanks everyone and sorry for the venue problems. I still do not have power at my store or home, and holes in my workshop roof.

Please nominate people or volunteer for a position. I may not continue with the presidency, Ken and Jereusha are done being treasurer, and Deedee is done doing the volunteer coordinating. please help. It is fun and easy going.

Elections will be by online voting as well as at the meeting. I will post who the candidates are after the meeting and end the vote on the 19th of November. Please consider being one of the vote counters, I would like to have three.

The Colorado State Beekeepers Association (CSBA) Winter Meeting is just a few weeks away! November 12th is the date and Jerry Hayes is the featured speaker. All pertinent information can be found at the CSBA website: www.coloradobeekeepers.org.

Today I would like to bring your attention to the new and improved BIG MONEY HONEY contest. The CSBA has always had a honey contest but this year’s will be the “Daddy of them All” with a top prize of $300 being awarded! In addition to bragging rights and the traveling trophy with your name engraved, (and the $300), we will be presenting this year’s champion with a handsome carved wooden plaque to display at their honey booth or in their home. A picture of the wooden plaque is attached. The runner-up will take home $200 and the third prize winner $100. An entry form is attached. Entry forms may also be found at the CSBA website and hard copies will be available at the door.

Come to the Colorado State Beekeepers Association meeting on November 12th and see how your honey fares in this high stakes contest!
