In an effort to promote this Association and its activities as well as local state sheep association activities, we have created an informative website, and Facebook pages for the North East Youth Sheep Show and the New England Sheep & Wool Growers.  Our goal this year is to add to our directory of members with breed(s) they raise and/or services they offer. This directory will be available on the website as well as paper copy at events.

 

Come join us!  Just fill out the membership form enclosed and send it to Scott Poitras, Treasurer, along with your $10.00 check made payable to NES&WGA, and you will become an instant member!!  By paying your dues, you will be promoting your own farm or operation by being listed in the Directory while helping this Association grow! 

 

Interested in joining a Committee or have any suggestions?  Let us know! The Association is always looking for volunteers to help with the various activities it is involved in.

 

Look forward to hearing from you!
