Things Are Happening at WWA Newsletter For January 2019

Things Are Happening at WWA
Bruce Urben, President  

 

 

I have lots of information since the December newsletter that I’m excited to share with you!

 

First and foremost, we have a new Executive Director (Bruce Ross) coming on board on the 21st, and while he’s not officially on duty yet, Bruce has been busy meeting with and talking to Board members and staff in the past week.

 

Our annual State Meeting and 3rd installment of the Hall of Fame Induction will be held on January 26th at the City Inn Bar and Grill in Berlin, starting at 9:30 am. You can meet Bruce Ross, listen to presentations by Project Director Peter Ziegler on habitat projects completed in 2018, hear Taylor Finger, WDNR Migratory Game Ecologist, discuss the 2018 season and 2019 proposed changes, meet Dr. Drew Fowler, WDNR’s new Waterfowl and Migratory Gamebird Research Scientist, and listen to future research plans and get updates on how our chapters did on fundraising in 2018 and recognize top performers… In a word an awesome agenda this year.

 

Shortly after the State Meeting on the 26th, the Fox River Chapter will present the first fund raising banquet in 2019 at the same location at City Inn Bar and Grill! Surely, a full day of information and fun!

 

If you haven’t signed up for the State Meeting or the Fox River Chapter Banquet there is still time, go online to register or contact the Fox River Chapter chair or volunteers.

 

Our first monthly drawing for the 2019 Calendar raffle was completed on the 9th and is off and running. Good luck to all that purchased a calendar this year. And, of course, thank you to all of the volunteers who helped sell these calendars, we couldn’t do it without you!

 

Read on for more information about our new major statewide raffle for a UTV and trailer package. Tickets and more information are available on our website or you can contact Rob Monette (920-382-5261) for tickets if you have not already received a supply.

 

Hoping to see you all at the State Meeting on the 26th!
