          As NYSTA's new president, I will work hard to keep the organization moving forward from times past.  I am proud and honored to have the opportunity.  I am dedicated to serve as your president to the best of my abilities.  

          I have a full time job and run a nuisance control and trapping supply business, so if you do not get an immediate response from me, please be patient.

          We are looking forward to again having our convention on Labor Day weekend.

          I would like to thank Jim Carmody and the rest  of the Board of Directors for their commitment

to New York State trappers and trapping.

       If you would like to attend a Board of Directors meeting, we have one on the third Saturday of January, April, July and October at the Herkimer County Fair Grounds. 

          If you need to contact me, my number is (518) 234-3715.  Please leave a message if no answer.

          Have a great summer - Ken Hellijas
