Wild Shot has heroically made it to the ranch to feed the cattle and break up their water tank throughout this nightmare... he is a warrior! They fare well- they move up into the trees and hunker down for the most part.

Happy 2019! Unfortunately, SASS HQ will remain closed until Monday, January 7th. We are simply unable to reach the office to open. Edgewood has received 39” of snow in total, and Cowboy Way has still not been plowed. The road crews have been overwhelmed trying to get/keep the main roads clear and our road (single business, dead end) is simply not a priority... understandably so. Moreover, yesterday’s sunshine on top of the efforts of road crews after a -5 degree overnight- has turned the region into a huge ice rink. I dug my way out yesterday to check on Cowboy Way and was unable to get to it directly thanks to a plow that left a veritable wall of snow right at our road... so I hopped on the interstate to check it out from the highway... as you can see- it hasn’t been touched! The safety of our staff is paramount; we thank you for your patience and understanding! Founders Ranch, too- is in a state of frozen lock down. Our crews have finally made it back to the property today to attempt to begin the monumental task of digging out. Tractors, trucks, chains, and plows have proven only to also land in ditches so far! Word on the street is that these back to back storms are borderline historic- with many saying they haven’t seen snow like this here in over 20 years. Personally.... this summer girl has a raging case of cabin fever! I’ve included some pictures I’ve taken over the last few days. Stay safe, Misty Moonshine

It will not be a one time thing. It’s just a new program we just launched. Over time, all members will receive their appropriate landmark pin- and when they hit each 5 year landmark, the next pin will be on its way! Misty

All prior RO Instructor certifications expire Dec. 31, 2018... in about 10 days. This listing is the Certified instructors for the next 2 year term- Jan 1, 2019 through Dec. 31, 2020. I wanted this list on the website for Jan 1- with the holidays upcoming I went ahead and got it built and published so that I could enjoy the holidays with my family without this task looming over my head! Misty

Hey everyone- I didn't forget about the announcement/distribution info- all of the information on the pin distribution and its announcement will be included in the January 1 SASS Member Bulletin, as was always planned. Keep an eye on your email on January 1! Thanks! Misty

Hi Chili Ron, No- each member will get only the one landmark pin that they are currently on. We hadn't considered additional pins as an option... our goal was to get only the one pin to each member who had reached the landmark for membership. I'm certainly not opposed to offering the pins for folks to buy additional of as well (if their membership qualifies!)... I'll look into this as a possibility in the coming months. Thanks for the suggestion! Misty

WHO'S READY!!?

Wahoooooo!!!! Who's ready!??

Why do you think this wasn’t well thought out, Allie Mo? The loyalty of a life membership is not in question- nor has it ever been. SASS is greatly appreciative of ALL our members. We felt like it was high time to recognize landmark years of membership loyalty to SASS- for ALL our members; not just those wearing a gold badge. Misty
