                       Good day NAF brothers and sisters, 
                      I hope all is well and that you are getting up to the
                      hills and getting on the ground. 
                       
                      I would like to start by saying that I would like to have
                      the 2014 National event held somewhere other than Calif.
                      this year. Susy Epperson and Ferrell Peterson were not sucessful
                      finding us a place in UT.  We should thank them for their time and effort
                      in helping. A location in Wyoming became a possibility recently, this is being 
investigated currently. If ANYONE knows of a location, let me know, please!
                      
  
                      For those of you that do not already know I have appointed
                      Dan Miller to be the Western Regional Factor. So if any of
                      you in the west have any ideas for him such as place for
                      encampments or the likes please contact him at gafferdam-naf@yahoo.com. 
                       
                      Jay Webb from OH who just sent in his paperwork will be
                      taking over as the NE Regional Factor. Jay is highly
                      motivated and will be on the ball. Jay is the Apprentice
                      that came to the 2013 National event in CA all the way
                      from OH and finished up his requirements. He has 2 AMM
                      members in OH that want to join us that he will sponsor
                      once his paperwork gets approved by the Counsel of Elders.
                      So I would say he is moving right along with getting the
                      East back on its feet, and his 11yr old son Little Jay is
                      to be brought in as a Ranger. So that is 3 new members
                      that he is bringing in before while he was an Apprentice.
                      So are hats are off to you Jay and thank you for your
                      efforts. 
                       
                      UT is one of the states with a lot of members and is one
                      of the least active states in the NAF.We are looking to
                      get a Factor for UT that will make things happen. If you
                      are from UT and can do the job or know some one that can
                      PLEASE let me know. 
                       
                      And as far as us here in the active state of CA me and
                      Chief Factor George Thompson are still working on the 3-5
                      day ride which we only have room for one more if you are
                      interested. 
                       
                      I have been working with Dan Miller the Western Factor on
                      some hunting encampment such as rabbit, quail, pig, deer
                      and buffalo. So if any of you are interested in joining us
                      in any of these let us know and lets have shinning times. 
                       
                      Well I guess that is it for now brothers and sisters, so
                      lets get active and make stuff happen.
