BSTRA AGM & Awards Banquet
We had 64 people attending our year end awards banquet on February 4th at Coachmen’s Lodge in Bellingham, MA. And because it was Superbowl Sunday, we had the entire place to ourselves. A nice spacious room accommodated all our needs and the food they prepared was quite scrumptious.
Thanks to Carolyn Weeks for setting up the slide show of all our events from 2017. It was a lot of pictures and I hope everyone enjoyed them.
Long time supporter of BSTRA, Chris-tine Taylor, was there telling us all about VoxxLife socks and insoles.
Special guests, Mike Travers and his wife Joan accepted our invitation and gra-ciously presented the Joe Travers Memo-rial Award which honors his father.
Following our family style, sit down lunch, we started our afternoon by dispensing with the regular order of business and proceeded with the Election of our 2018 Board of Directors & Officers. I was very pleased to see that we even had a nomina-tion from the floor.
2018 Officers:
President– Becky Kalagher Vice President/Clerk-Carolyn Weeks Treasurer-Karen Parlin Rec. Secretary-Rose Zariczny
Board of Directors:
Crysanda Boisvert Sharron Cochran Donna Johnson Suzanne Nicholas Joan Lowbridge-Sisley Lynn Paresky Annamaria Paul Sue Quirk Joyce Sandvik Kelly Shaw
A special thanks to out going Board mem-ber Sheila Giguere. She did a great job of helping BSTRA accomplish our goals for the past two years. We greatly valued her time and input. Thank you again Sheila.
Next up was year end awards.

Vanessa Gniadek’s
SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT The EquiGroomer is more than just a shedding blade—it’s a sim-
ple tool that gently removes loose hair, dirt and dander from your
pet’s coat leaving it incredibly soft, smooth and shiny. Designed to
work like a shedding stone but without the mess, the blade’s teeth
grab loose hair by the ends so there’s no pulling, discomfort or
damage to the skin or coat.
GUARANTEED SAFE ON YOUR PET’S SKIN AND COAT
The teeth are extremely short so they never touch the skin. The
blade grabs just the dry, scaly hair leaving the healthy hair alone
even when used every day. In fact, daily use actually improves the
quality of the coat.
DURABLE and LONG LAST-
ING
The EquiGroomer ’s solid wood
handle is coated with a tough
finish that’s easily wiped clean.
The blade, which is made from hardened steel, is coated with a
protective paint to help prolong its life.
TAKES THE STRESS OUT OF GROOMING
Perfect for animals with sensitive skin or those who dislike being
groomed. They’ll just think they’re being pet which is a good feel-
ing for both you and your favorite furry friends.
You’ll find more information, videos and reviews at their website:

EquiGroomer is a BSTRA Blue Ribbon Sponsor
