Dear Western Illinois NAVHDA Members and Friends,

This has to be short and sweet . . . I'm supposed to be packing to leave for the Specialty in the morning.
Another month has flown by.  The fun hunt was well attended and everyone had a great time.  The silent
auction was fun and added to the trailer fund.  I will give a more complete report in the future.
Rich Runge is working on getting the judges for the fall test so we will have more on that soon.

APRIL TRAINING DAY Saturday, April 12:  
You don't want to miss the April training day.  It will be held at Brush Dale Farm,
17374 Highway 62, Maquokota, IA  52060.  Mark and Michelle Wilbers are the hosts.  
Phone:  563-495-4624   Email:  mwilbers@westphalec.com   Web Site:  www.brushdale.com
Jeff, Greg, Lou and I had a chance to visit the farm just before Easter and we are confident you will enjoy
your time there.   Starting time:  8:00 AM.  If you want birds to train with, contact Mark or Michelle for
availability and cost.
