PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
In an effort to save space for the other things that are going into this Newsletter, I would just like to send a few short messages. The first is a giant THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered at the All American/Premier National Junior Milking
Shorthorn Show and helped to make the events we were involved in a HUGE success. Also, an even bigger THANK YOU to
those who showed their support of our youth through either a donation to the PNJMSS or a bid in the Silent Auction!! Lastly,
congratulations to all the exhibitors at all the fall shows, specifically to David Riley and Paige-Marie Thorne, the big youth
winners at the PNJMSS, both of whom are MAMSS members! Wishing everyone a happy and healthy holiday season and
see you in the Spring!
