Director’s report- Marty reported PNW Board of directors will have a teleconference on June 7th. The association donated 3 boxes of outdated ways and means items to Rob Stafford and Marty Tilford’s trip to Alaska. The event is called Alaska or Rust. With the PNW4WDA donating the items it made us a sponsor. Go to the website alaskaorrust.com to see all the info about it. They will be having magazine coverage of the trip as well so this will give the PNW some great PR. As of now we have heard there are 4 to 5 PNW4WDA members going. A special thanks to the PNW President and PR Chairman and the BOD that authorized listing of PNW4WDA as a trip sponsor.

Vice president was absent.
