De-Go-La RC&D hosted The 34th Annual State Conference in Corpus

Thomas Longbotham will be resigning as Administrative
Assistant for De-Go-La Resource Conservation and Development. His last day of
employment will be Friday, December 30, 2011.
Thank you for all
the support and cooperation you have provided during his tenure.
The Council will not be searching for a replacement employee in the near
future. De-Go-La RC&D can still be contacted by mail at: PO Box 2533,
Victoria, TX 77902. President Gary Burns can be contacted at GBurns@vctx.org and 361-220-2284. Board
Treasurer Neil Fritsch can be contacted at neil.fritsch@calhouncotx.org and
361-920-5346.
Federal Appropriations for 2011, as passed by Congress, did not allow
for funding to provide office space or the position of coordinator to serve the
De-Go-La RC&D Council. This is certainly not a
reflection on the value of the RC&D program. Since the formation of the De-Go-La RC&D Area, there
have
been many great accomplishments. The strength of the RC&D program has always been the dedicated volunteers who
serve on the board of directors. De-Go-La will
continue to function and become stronger with time.
Consequently, Jerry Pearce will no longer be providing
assistance to the Council on RC&D. He is temporarily assigned to
provide Conservation Technical Assistance to the Victoria Resource Team until a
final decision is made regarding his future duties with the NRCS. If you require local
assistance on natural resource related problems, you may contact your local
NRCS field office.
The current phone number is 361-570-2600, e-mail at admin@degolarcd.org. Along with a
change in phone number, the council will be obtaining office space at a new
location. You will be notified when the address change takes place.
