President's Message

November 2021

Happy Thanksgiving, and in the not too distant future we will be saying Merry Christmas as well and counting snow flakes.

This month closes nominations for elections of officers. If you have ever considered holding an office for LCBA and would like to help shape the future of the greatest beekeeping organization in the history of beekeeping, this is your opportunity. You need only to nominate yourself at this meeting and elections will be held in December. We are always looking for volunteers to help with the many programs LCBA is involved in too, so jump in the water is just fine no experience needed.

This month we are having our annual chili cook off and the prizes make it worth the effort to participate first place $40, second $30 and third $20 and all members can participate.

We will also pick the best tasting honey for 2021 your name will be placed on a plaque with other dubious winners such as Vince Dubesa 2019 winner and Sherry Oleyar 2020 winner. If you would like your honey entered and are a member just bring your sample to the next meeting and you too may have your name up in lights. This November meetings topic will be “What to do with your wax” Valerie Weiss will conduct a class on Soap making Sherry Oleyar will teach a class on Lip Balm and Sheila St.Clair on lotion bars and this is all just in time for a Christmas project or gifts.
