Don Kirby, Executive Director,

Thanks for taking a moment to
update yourself on your association. We're out a little early this month, as
next week is really jam-packed: we'll start on Sunday with the return of the Ozaukee
County Sporting Clays Shoot, as a one-day event this year, then Monday
afternoon I've got the executive committee meeting of our board, then
president Bruce and I head to Portage for the first of a series of ad-hoc
committee meetings with the WDNR & conservation partners, working to
revise the Wisconsin waterfowl plan. Tuesday brings a meeting with our
partners at Cabela's, in preparation for next month's Waterfowl Weekend, and
then we finish the week with the 8th
Annual Abrams Shoot, presented by NEW Wall Street of Green Bay, at the
venue from last year's summer shoot, J&H Game Farm, near Shiocton. Wow,
what a week! Please make plans to join us at one or more of the shoots, your
game-strap will thank you, come October!
The 2019 Conservation
Calendars have begun their distribution to volunteer teams, but before we
fully turn our attention to that awesome fundraiser, I'm asking you to push
hard for us to make it to a successful end to the Truck
 Raffle first. Sales have been tough for some, but we
want to honor our commitment to our sponsor partners, and finish strong, for
a great event on August
30th (where we'll be raffling off some other great stuff, plus giving
away the Shoot Series vault!). IN THAT LIGHT: we're extending the
deadline for sellers to get their ticket stubs in, for the big sellers'
drawing: NOW, we'll
draw that prize on MONDAY, AUGUST 13th at NOON. This gives
everyone 2 additional weeks to pound out these ticket sales, and to turn in
any unsold tickets, for us to use at the event. If you haven't sold tickets,
and want to try, let me know, I'll get you some, PRONTO!
Remember, our final golf
outing, the 8th annual Fox
Valley Scramble, presented by Financial Consulting Services, Inc., of Green
Bay, is in just 2
weeks - get your registration
in, ASAP! We have a great time, and the odds of winning awesome prizes is
terrific, no matter how you swing your club.
Please let me know if you can
help out at Cabela's for the
Decoy Carving Contest & Exhibition, or the Calling
Contest; I'm populating a spreadsheet of roles to be filled, just as we
did last year at Stevens Point. There's interesting stuff to do Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday. These are longer days, so even if you can come help for
a half day, it makes it much easier to get through them, in style. This is
another fun way to help our Association, beyond fundraising and other
projects.
Finally, let me
know if you're interested in banding ducks at Collins Marsh this year. I
can forward you the informational e-mail, with all the contact info.
 They'll be starting in a week, and running through
August, at least once a week. It's a really fun morning, you'll learn a bunch
of duck biology, and it's one of the most captivating outdoors projects for
kids, I've ever seen.
Reminder: know that Tom,
Kelcy, and I are here to assist in any way we can, you just need to let us
know what's on your mind. We've still got several groups that have yet to
firm up any plans for an event, or a big class "A" raffle, especially
into September and beyond, and we could certainly help your group get going
on whatever plans might be getting y'all fired up.
Thanks so much, for all you do
for our Association!
See you on the water,
Don
