Notes From President Samuelson

As you are probably aware, our Legislature is in session for 2004. As in previous years, Dr. Roy Overton will be on Capital Hill to see what Legislature proposals may affect the Izaak Walton League and its members. He will be joined by Tom Holm and Arlo McDowell, also from our Chapter.

If you are interested in Legislation, please contact one of these members. I urge you to contact your Legislature regarding retention of the “Litter Bill.” (Commonly called the “Bottle Bill”).

 

Neal Smith Prairie Center

The Neal Smith Prairie Center will be having an open house on February 7 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  This event is open to the public.

 

Door prizes

We are in need of door prizes for the weekly drawing.  See Mike Lucas if you can donate an item.

Membership Dues for 2004

You can now pay your 2004 dues, or pick up your renewal notice and mailing envelope at the Tuesday meetings. There will be a table just inside the entry door. By taking advantage of either of these two methods you will be saving your chapter the cost of mailing the renewal notices, which will be mailed February 1st to those not having paid by then. Anyone not paying their dues by March 1st will be removed from the Newsletter mailing list.
