On Sunday 11 Nov. 07 PHEA held a brief  discussion  before the reading of the Hunter Education Essay contest which we do each November.

Secy/Treas. Mike Urbanik gave a brief report and reported the balance in our account.

Mike also reported we have received a Grant from The National Rifle Asso.

Since we now have the Grant Money available, the discussion went to the two day workshop to be planned for this 2008 Spring/Summer.

We discussed the successful Wing Shooting Workshop held in 06.  A 2 day secession  with 20 members in attendance.

A workshop at headquarters would have to be planned after April 08, the current class of WCO'S need to graduate before we can use the dorm rooms.

The discussion seemed to favor a Training workshop on Survival, Orienteering and  Rifle Training.

Fort Indiantown Gap is a possible site,

Keith Snyder will look at our options and dates and will check as to the earliest housing would be available.
