April 2016

Ryan Griffin with Market Force presented at our April Meeting. His presentation was on heat stress. Ryan always puts a new spin on things and keeps his presentations light and entertaining while still informative. If you missed him in April, you will have opportunities to see him present in August or November.

Thanks Ryan for the informative presentation and for the wonderful salty lunch from Arnis!

A big thank you goes out to Bobby Williams and Kossuth Street Baptist Church for allowing us to use your facility for our April meeting!
