The Manitowoc Unit of Fish & Game will be holding its March 2021 meeting scheduled for March 4^th, at 7pm.  The meeting is scheduled for Lincoln Park Cabin #1.  There is a need to conduct business in the closing of 2020 and update the 2021 season.  It was noted that the City of Manitowoc has limited capacity during the pandemic to no more than 43 at that cabin.  It was also noted that there will be a meeting of the FORWARD Endowment Gift Committee at 5:30 to make grants for the 2020 season.  Gift Committee members are asked to attend.

The Manitowoc Unit will also recognize several members who have been lost in recent months.
