That is great. Have fun presenting.

Smash our District 3 has a very good material and educational inventory from my experience. Dave can certainly point you in the right direction with what is available and share as needed.

Thanks everyone for the support. I truly feel kind of silly being the one to do this because of my lack of experience. But I am passionate about why it is necessary and kids are just great so I’m looking forward to teaching them what I can

Your lack of experience may be just the ticket for connecting with someone who is new and interested You do have experience but not enough to be blinded by success

Knowing and Teaching are 2 different things You must of had school teachers that talked on your level while others talked over your head

Yessiree Jeff. Good way of putting it. I wanna reach out to teach them why management is important but I also want to get to the heart of the little girls who don’t understand it and don’t agree with it. That’s my target audience. Because I was that little girl too . I wish somebody would have talked to me on my level, woulda come around quicker.

You’ll do great Ashley. Cotton has asked me to a trapping demo the last two years at the VTA Bland Rhondy, I’m a nervous wreck every time, and definitely know I’m not qualified but it’s something that helps the VTA and hopefully educates some people about what we do.

Of course you’re qualified!!!
It’s good to be nervous, shows you want to do a good job

We represent trappers and that’s a big responsibility.
