Hi Guys,

 

I’ve gotten some thank you’s for my years of service and I’ve gotten some questions as to why I’m not running.  To put it simple my reasons only affect me.  I would like to leave it that way and ask that everybody have patience and dedicate your support to Jeff Vogle and whoever wins the election.  Jeff is a good man & it has been a pleasure working with him over the years.  This Region belongs to every member and the more that every member gets involved with helping, the stronger it will be and the easier you’ll make the directors’ job.  Please remember they are volunteers.

 

Good luck and I hope to see you all in the water.  I am going to try and learn how to fish.  With all of my respect to all of you. You are a very special Region and it may be prejudiced, but I do feel this is the best Region in the state and the members make it what it is.

 

                                                      Respectfully yours,

                                                               Peter B. Mathews, your Past Region 3 Director

 

PS   As my last official board function, I will be at Bonner Rd Ramp at Berlin Reservoir to run the release boat for their Regional. Anybody that feels like stopping in, it will be a nice gesture since Region 4 is in our back yard.  It would be a good show of gracious hospitality.  Being the great host that Region is.
