LETTER FROM<br />
Hello Everyone,<br />
I hope everyone is doing well and you all have had a great summer. Fall is once again upon us and I wish each of you a<br />
busy one, I mean lots of work to take in.<br />
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who attended and supported the NCTA show this past August. We had a great<br />
turnout with some of the best judges and seminars we could ask for. There were 99 pieces entered and some amazing<br />
work for us all to enjoy. I hope everyone who competed took the opportunity to get a critique and learn from the judges.<br />
I would like to thank everyone who entered a piece and also say congratulations to all the winners. Also, I would like to<br />
thank the suppliers who took the time to attend the show. With the help of a lot of people going out and getting items<br />
from suppliers and others who supported the NCTA, we had a great auction. I want to thank everyone who took part<br />
in making this a success, including the buyers. A big thanks to the board members who all did their jobs to a tee, and<br />
so many others who helped with the show. Welcome to the new members and I hope everyone had a great time and<br />
will continue to support your association. At the business meeting there were some changes made for our association.<br />
Change is not a bad thing, we have made many changes over the past 31 years and the NCTA is still going strong.<br />
One of our main goals continues to be about education and making us all better taxidermists. With the support of each<br />
member, we can continue to go forward and make the NCTA one of the best in the country. We need to pull together<br />
and surpass what we achieved this year with a bigger and better 2013. So don’t wait until the last minute to start your<br />
mounts and make plans to attend the 2013 show.<br />
I have learned a lot being President this past year. If everyone is happy, then you are doing a great job. But, if only one<br />
person is not happy, then you are not doing a good job. I found out it is impossible to make everyone happy, all you can<br />
do is your best and go forward. I have to be President for all the members. Some want things to go this way and others<br />
another way. That is why we each have a voice and a vote to choose the direction of your association. We should all try<br />
to accept the outcome of each step we take. We may not all be happy with how the majority votes on something, but<br />
we as friends and taxidermist should try to do our best to grow the NCTA. We all are better taxidermist and have made<br />
some great friends from this association. I also want to thank everyone who showed me their support this past year.<br />
After the membership meeting this past August, Melissa Stillwell resigned as Secretary/Treasurer. Paul Wilson came<br />
forward and said he would take the position and I have appointed him Secretary/Treasurer. Paul will hold this position<br />
until the next membership meeting. I want to thank Paul for stepping up and taking this job. Paul’s information can be<br />
found on page 2.<br />
Please take the time to vote for the new officers and board members for the coming year (see the Voting<br />
Ballot on page 11). Thanks to each person who has volunteered to take a position in the NCTA.<br />
God Bless,<br />
Vincent Fleming<br />

Taxidermists need to speak up in favor of rules concerning<br />
captive cervids (deer, elk, etc.). Show your support for rules<br />
H22, 23 and 24. QDMA is trying to stop deer farming and this<br />
could take income from taxidermist in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />
Please take time to email Gordon Myers, Executive Director<br />
of The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> Wildlife Resources Commission at<br />
gordon.myers@ncwildlife.org to show your support for these<br />
rules. And, for more information about this topic, please feel<br />
free to contact Tommy Hall at 704-753-1470.
