We would like to thank all of you for your work and participation in the above projects thru-out the year. As you know, we need to do these things to be supportive of the opportunities they provide to allow us to introduce young people to our Natural Resources. If you have not had the chance to participate and help on these projects, please look thru the list, find something that looks interesting and plan on “lending” a hand next time they come up. You can see, they are varied in nature and certainly cover most of our interests. In the up coming year, we will be focusing on new members. Our dues are a mere $10.00/year! You don’t have to go far to find a prospect…..son, neighbor, friend….bring them along and let them check us out! -Lance
