 | NCGO Officer Thanks! |
 With a new slate of officers set to begin their terms on July 1st, we’d like to take a moment to recognize and thank the outstanding officers who have served NCGO and its membership for the past year. Thanks to the leadership and efforts of these fine folks we had a very successful year - we managed to continue and expand some great NCGO traditions such as the Fall Fling and the state-wide CITOs, we produced a fresh new t-shirt design inspired by our Greatest Hits list, we opened the NCGO CafePress store, we created our very own calendar and newsletter, and we continued our outreach efforts with a variety of organizations throughout the state. Thanks to the energy and dedication of our brilliant Executive Committee, NCGO remains a strong organization and a friendly virtual home for all cachers in North Carolina and beyond. We offer our sincerest thanks to each of you for all of the time and hard work that you devoted to NCGO – it has been an honor and a pleasure to work with you all!

| Spotlight: Spotlight on Fraygirls! |
 Here is a spotlight that we should have done a long time ago! The Fraygirls live in the Wilmington area and are always willing to lend a hand to visitors, new cachers or anyone (for a beer and/or burrito!). Michelle has been instrumental to the success of NCGO and has contributed in so many ways there isn't enough space here to list them all but suffice to say we would not be near the organization that we are without her considerable efforts and time spent over the last several years. Read her story, it is as entertaining as many of her cache logs. - PDF Version Read the Article - HTML Version |

| Spotlight: Spotlight on Night-Hawk! |
Time to shine some light on one of the most prolific cache finders in our state and in the top 50 worldwide. Night-Hawk has been caching for a long time. I remember meeting him at his first event and have had the pleasure of caching with him a few times over the years. His story is interesting and I know you all will enjoy it. For many of us, parts of it will bring back some good memories. - PDF Version Read the Article - HTML Version |

| 2009 NCGO Elections |
NCGO now elects officers each year for terms that run from July 1 through June 30. The nomination period for 2009 is May 1 through May 31st. The elections will be held June 1 through the June 15 with winners being announced shortly thereafter.
In order to vote, you must be a resident of North Carolina. To run for office, you must be a resident of North Carolina and you must also have been a member of North Carolina Geocachers Organization for at least 1 year as of July 1, 2009. Regional Vice Presidents must live in the region they are elected to serve.
There is a thread in the General forum where you can nominate any individual, including yourself. For private nominations, send your nomination to "nomination at ncgeocachers.org". Don't forget to indicate what office you are nominating the person for. Self-nominations are allowed and encouraged if you are interested in running for office. A person can be nominated for more than one office, but may only run for one - so if interested, they will need to choose which office to run for. You can also use this forum thread to ask any questions about what being an officer means in terms of time committments, duties, etc. Take some time to read our bylaws if you want to know more about the officer duties. Article V - Executive Committee in particular lists the duties of each elected officer. We have been very flexible so far in what people do but this will give you an idea of what may be expected.
When someone is nominated, we will contact that person to notify him/her of the nomination. If interested in running, a nominee must let us know by May 31st so that we can add them to the ballot.
A voting booth page at NCGO will be made available where you can vote online. One vote per user but you can change your vote until midnight June 15th.
This is a wonderful opportunity for people who have the time and interest to apply their leadership skills and help NCGO do even more for the geocaching community of North Carolina. We hope you’ll think about serving this very worthy cause!

| NCGO 2009 CITO Announcement |
 Mark Your Calendars!
As you probably already know by now, May 2-3 has been designated as CITO (Cache In Trash Out) weekend. Once again, NCGO is sponsoring several CITO events across the state this year! These events will be spread out over a couple of different days (and weekends), so we’re hoping that everyone will have a chance to attend at least one. Want to learn a little more about CITO? Read up on it at the Cache In Trash Out site.
The events are:
5/2/2009 NCGO State-Wide CITO: Triad
5/9/2009 NCGO State-Wide CITO: Coastal
CITO events are all about geocachers volunteering to clean up parks and other cache-friendly locations. It can be hard work but it is definitely a rewarding experience and a lot of fun to get together with fellow geocachers and work for a common and worthy cause. So please plan to attend one or more of these events and give back a little for the enjoyment geocaching has given us all. Our collective efforts help not only the parks we work to clean - we also help to build the public image of geocaching and geocachers as a responsible, environmentally conscious group of people who are willing to work to preserve the areas that we enjoy so much.
NCGO thanks everyone who plans on attending one of these important events, and sends a special thanks out to all of the CITO hosts and their supporters!
