Tim Doud, PresidentDear Fellow NASMA Members,

I hope this finds you well and preparing for summer fun with your mules and donkeys. I am heading to Colorado to attend a John Lyons training seminar with two of my mules. Then it is up to the mountains with our guests.

This is a very optimistic and hopeful time for NASMA and its members. The legal mess is over and the association can move forward with all the plans and activities that will focus on the family of mule and donkey lovers around the world. We have restored the foundation upon which NASMA was founded and I am very confident you will find that this is a fun organization again.

Future plans include a World Show, NASMA Youth awards banquet, automated show points and VTP hours on our expanding web site, more awards for our trail riders, and even some NASMA trail rides. The Rule Book and By-Laws are already posted on the web and will be kept up to date for your ready reference. Of course, we will still print the rule book for those who do not have access to the internet or just want the feel of the paper booklet.

We have a very dedicated group of Directors. Get to know each of your zone directors and keep them informed of your ideas and thoughts so that we can meet your needs. Elections for Directors in zones where there are openings very soon. Watch the web site or your mail box for election materials and the official ballot for your zone. Jim Selph is the chair of the nomination committee and has received nominations from many qualified and dedicated individuals who want only to make sure you get the most out of your membership to NASMA.

You can contact your zone Directors easily using our web site or you can direct mail to them at the NASMA office at PO Box 343, Boyd, TX 76023. We are still trying to get our records up to date so if you have renewed your membership and we don’t have your correct membership number, please contact the NASMA office or send an email to NASMA@NASMA.net. We would love to hear from you so let us know what you are doing and what NASMA can do for you.

Thank you for your support and for being a part of the NASMA family.

Best Wishes,
 

Tim Doud
NASMA President
