This article originally appeared in Wisconsin Waterfowl Association’s January, 2021 Volunteer Newsletter edition.
And hopefully a good one. There’s a surprising amount of info in this newsletter. Let me highlight them so you don’t miss anything:
- First, and most urgently, WWA’s down-sized annual meeting is only a week away. Fifteen bucks gets you chow and grog, an update on where WWA has been, and its 2021 focus destination. There is a limited amount of space, so if you don’t act quickly, you might find yourself on the outside looking in at the Fox River Brewing Company on Saturday, 23 January.
- Saturday’s annual meeting will NOT include the Hall of Fame induction ceremony this year, but the committee is releasing the names of the three inductees: Eric Pitz (Member/Posthumous), Eric Urben (Board) and Sherper’s (Sponsor). Their full bios will be released with the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at a later date.
- The planning for the Waterfowl Hunter’s EXPO – also in Oshkosh – on August 28th is gathering momentum. We are beginning to collect the names of volunteers who want to play a part in this inaugural event. Take a look at the article and you won’t accuse us of thinking small!
- Did your Chapter make the list of 2020 Super Goal Achievers?
- Weathering the Storm, Part 2 – how’s your WWA faring in this most tumultuous of times?
- Peter’s habitat work is getting moving again as the ground begins to harden.
