NORTHERN PRAIRIE NOTES 

By Bonnie Fosheim, CAA, Property Tax Specialist,
Department of Revenue and Regulation

Greetings from the North East part of South Dakota.  Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July.

Congratulations to Darlene Piekkola and her crew for putting on a great conference in Deadwood.  The educational sessions were very informative. The afternoon tour of Deadwood was very interesting. It was fun to learn about some of the history of downtown Deadwood.  The rain put a damper on things but it was needed.  It is always fun to come out to the hills area. It’s such a beautiful area of the state.

Congratulations to Rownea Gerbracht in Perkins County on becoming the new SDAAO Treasurer.  Rownea will do a great job as treasurer and is a great asset to the association.

I was able to attend the NCRAAO Conference in Green Bay, Wisconsin in June. It was a terrific conference.  There were plenty of very good educational sessions to attend. We had 18 people from South Dakota attend the conference.  On Monday night we got to tour the Green Bay Packers Lambeau Field.  It was a terrific experience even if you were not a Packers fan.  Next year NCRAAO will be in Coralville, Iowa June 15-17, 2009.

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and getting their summer projects done.  School will be here before we know it. My how time flies.

Audit time will also be fast approaching.  Please get your sales information in as soon as possible so we can get started early and finish up early with the audits.

I know this is old business but I wanted to put it in again because the Aberdeen Revenue office was still getting phone calls for me. As most of you may know by now I have moved my office. I am no longer stationed out of the Aberdeen Revenue office. As of September 20, 2007 I have my own office in the Day County court house in Webster. My phone # is 605-345-2023 and my address is 711 W. 1st Street Ste. 103B Webster, SD 57274.

I have some exciting news that will be happening to our family soon. I’m going to be Grandma again. My daughter and son-in-law are expecting a little boy the end of July.

How exciting that will be. Another one to spoil. I guess that’s what Grandmas are supposed to do.

Hope to see you at school in September.
