                                        Subject:     August & September Unit Meetings

The Manitowoc Unit of Manitowoc County Fish & Game has not offered public meetings since March of this year, due to concerns for the safety of its members and the general public that attend its meetings due to the pandemic.   Normally held at Lincoln Park, Cabin 1, the cabin had not been available until recently from the Manitowoc Rec Department.  While now available again, social distancing and related protections would limit attendance to approximately 43 people.

Leadership of the Manitowoc Unit after review of business activities and needs and considering recent increasing trends of cases of COVID-19 in Manitowoc especially, has decided to cancel both its August and September meetings.  These would traditionally have been done on August 6^th and September 3^rd at 7pm.  “Our membership tends to be older and a group with higher risks should they contract the virus,” said Dean Halverson, Secretary of the Manitowoc Unit.  “We just felt the safety of our members was more important than having meetings.”

The club is tentatively targeting October 1^st as its next meeting and it would be at Lincoln Park, Cabin 1 with related restrictions.  Details are pending and will be announced in September.  Manitowoc Fish & Game works to promote and protect the rights of sporting men and women in the county through a variety of projects and education programming.  It is one of 25 clubs that work together in Manitowoc County.  It was noted that directors of the county organization have been working during the pandemic to continue the business and good work of the organizations throughout Manitowoc County.
