The conference included the election of a new board, as well as a golf tournament, fishing contest and medallion hunt.
The following officers were elected for 2020: Andrew Schmitz (President), Terry O’Hara (Vice President), Randy Baird (Secretary) and Bob Thomas (Treasurer); serving as Past President is Shawn Dean, Brian Baumann of AVS Companies was also added to the board.
Attendees enjoyed a golf tournament in memory of Ron Reinking, which was won by Bob Thomas, Terry O’Hara, Bryan Aune and Mike Hawkins. Thomas also won a fishing contest, in memory of Wayne Vaverek.
“Guests also participated in a medallion hunt in which clues were given every few hours about the location of the hidden medallion,” MOMA wrote about the event. “The Zasmeta children from Hazelwood Corporation and the Graham children from Games Unlimited pieced the puzzle together and found the medallion.”
Pool and dart league coordinators of the member companies also met to discuss the past tournament and to prepare for the January 2020 tourney, to be held at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, Minn. More information is available at www.momapoolanddarts.com.
