The annual meeting of Voice of the Ozarks will be Saturday evening, Jan. 31, 2009, at the old gymnasium in Eminence. Further details will be announced.
It will soon be time for membership renewal. Dues for 2009 will be good
through 12/31/2009. Members are encouraged to renew and new members are invited.
Through the group’s recent public meetings with the Ozark National Scenic
Riverways Superintendent, Reed Detring, members have learned the National Park Service is working on a General Management Plan which will lay out plans for the park which may be in force over the next 20 years. Although the park employees and
administration will have already formulated ideas and plans they would like to institute, it is their responsibility to hold public meetings for comment about these plans. The public opinion gathered at these meetings must be used in this process.
“The Voice of the Ozarks is working to make sure your views are represented
to these people to ensure we have our rights to access and our rights to
use this park are protected,” said John Brewer, president of Voice of the Ozarks. “We will keep you informed about the drafts of the plan.”

The plan is supposed to be ready by April of 2009. Watch for announcements of meetings regarding the General Management Plan.
