FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS

RESOLUTION OF THANKS

The delegates to the 74th annual convention of the Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs, and other attendees from FWOC member clubs, all wish to express their gratitude to the organizers of this very successful FWOC convention for the excellence of the program and for the unique opportunity to meet and get to know others with similar interests and conservation objectives.

Thanks also to our hard-working convention committee, consisting of Shirley Cameron, chair (Program Committee), assisted by Raelene Gold, Michael McCloskey, Roger Anderson, as well as to the Committee on Arrangements, composed of Joseph Hargrave, assisted by Roger Anderson, and to our outgoing president, Winchell Hayward, for his help on publicity.

Collaborating with one another in the production of this convention was a great experience and helped to build the fellowship that is essential for the success of an outdoors organization, such as ours.

Thanks also to our host clubs, the Chinook Trail Association and the Friends of the Columbia River Gorge, and to the management of the Menucha lodge for helping to make our three-day stay at Menucha a delightful experience.

Our convention celebrates the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition's exploration of this area and appropriately honors their great achievement.  Special thanks is also due to our convention speakers, all of whom spoke to our convention theme: "The Lewis and Clark Expedition--Their Legacy and Our Challenge."  We have learned a lot in this convention about the challenges that are still there and how to deal with them.

Our outgoing president, Win Hayward, hopes to see you at the 75th annual Convention next year.
