THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Thanks to all of you that helped with the convention and, thanks to all of you who just came and enjoyed this event. This year's convention seems to have been a huge success. We tried some new things and re-arranged some old and we believe that most of these changes worked out real well. The ones that didn't we'll change next time.
The officers hope you had as much fun at the convention as we did putting it on.
Next year we will be hosting the Western National Convention and we will need a lot of help. If you are interested in being on a team, please call any officer and we will make sure you get a job. If you have already offered your help, please call anyway. You know how we all like to BS. (The first callers will get the best jobs)
The officers are here to serve all Utah trappers. If you have any questions or comments, call any of us.
Thanks again,
Kevin Peacock

SCHOLARSHIP
Each year the UTA selects one or two students who exemplify our organizations beliefs in conservation and our love of the outdoors. We then have the privilege to grant those worthy students a scholarship to assist them in financing their college educations. The scholarship funds are directly collected from the generosity of our associations members each year, so it truly is a special program.
For those interested in applying there are a few rules of eligibility:
- Applicants must be a high school senior intending on enrolling in a Fall 2008 college program
- Applicants must be a resident of the State of Utah
- Applicants High School GPA must average a 3.0 or higher
In addition, we ask that applicants provide an official copy of their high school transcripts, two letters or recommendation and submit and original essay. The complete rules are available for download: HERE Completed application packets must be postmarked by April 30, 2008.
Also, as a note to those attending our fur sale this year, we will be accepting donated fur as a scholarship fundraiser. All pelts will be sold at auction, and 100% of the funds will go directly into the scholarship fund! It is a wonderful way to support these students, and ensure that the voices of the future understand the important role wildlife management has in the environment.
This is my first year serving on the scholarship committee, and I am quite proud to be involved in such a worthy cause. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me anytime.
Thank you,
