Turkey beards
Good Day,
I'm not sure if you are the correct person to whom I should direct this question, but I trust you would be able to direct me to the right person if need be. My name is Ryan Worden, and I am a Native American artist. I create traditional dance clothes, and do a lot of volunteer work with the Boy Scouts of America's American Indian programs. My question to you was to inquire if there was any way or anyone I can contact about the possibility of acquiring turkey beards to make authentic Eastern-style hair roaches. While I realize that the beards are often viewed as trophies to the hunters, I didn't know if any hunters would be willing to part with less-than trophy quality beards. I live in Knoxville, TN and am trying to get in touch with our local chapter. Not sure if you are the correct person. Any assistance you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Ryan Worden

State Board to Help Flood Victims
The Tennessee State Board is currently seeking names, addresses & phone numbers (if possible) of any NWTF members that were affected by the devastating floods of May 2010. It's the goal of the Tennessee State Board to provide these members with some type of assistance in the form of a "turkey hunting care package" once we determine exactly how many will be needed.
If you know of someone in need, please get the information to your Regional Director as soon as possible.
Your assistance with this project will be greatly appreciated.
Hope everyone is having a GREAT Day,
Keith Hickman, President
NWTF/Tennessee
