Newly Appointed GOSA Registrar/Treasurer

Sally.jpg

The Board of GOSA welcomes our new registrar and treasurer, Sally Doherty. Many of you already know Sally as our new Communications Coordinator and her new responsibilities will increase her contact with you, our members. Consistent with our bylaws, the board appointed Sally at our last monthly board meeting. Please join us in welcoming Sally.
                                                                                                                            
We will miss our former registrar and treasurer, Lisa Dachinger, who, along with the rest of the board, brought GOSA back from several years of inactivity to its present state of growth and stability. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Lisa has resigned her position with GOSA to tend to important personal matters. Lisa worked tirelessly to recreate and backup our registry database, safeguard our finances, and prepare registration materials for our members. Please join us in a heartfelt thank you to Lisa for her years as enthusiastic GOSA supporter and dedicated board member.
                                                                                                                       
Sally Doherty lives with her family on a small farm in Afton MInnesota -
Little Foot Farm - just 15 miles outside of the Twin Cities. By day,
she is a working professional in the electronics industry.
At the farm, she and her family run a commercial greenhouse business,
and raise Berkshire and Gloucestershire Old Spot hogs, and heritage breed chickens.
  A local charcuterie and dry curing salami chef is working with Little Foot
Farm on the GOS hogs.  She is enthusiastic about working with this rare
heritage breed,  while making good local food that serves the Twin Cities,
and teaching her children about such  important endeavors. Additionally,
she has made connections at a Big 10 university to establish a
relationship with professors in the Ag - swine department. She and her
family have been laying the foundation to do something useful with her
small diversified farm, and GOS hogs in particular.
