President's Message
Hello All,
I hope this finds everyone safe and well.
I hope this finds everyone safe and health. Spring time is upon us, and for many that means turkey season. Some of our members have already had some great hunts. Michele and I are going on the last pheasant tower shoot of the year soon, and a quail hunt before the season comes to an end.
It seems the pandemic is waning and so we are hoping to schedule a live in-person fundraiser event for the middle or end of May.
Out on-line auction was a great success - thank you to all that participated in the bidding. That help the chapter to meet our goals as we move forward this year.
