The President’s Corner:
The SCI Flint Chapter started in January of 1981 and is a 100% voluntary non-profit organization, dedicated to supporting conservation, education and humanitarian programs as well as protecting our hunting heritage. During our 30 years of existence, the Chapter has grown to over 375 members. Our involvement in carrying out the SCI Mission has been diverse and far reaching, and has occurred at the local, regional and international levels. Some examples include:
-
Funding local, national, and international wildlife research projects to promote scientific based conservation policies.
-
Financially supporting the Michigan DNRE on several research programs.
-
Sponsoring local school outdoor programs and youth sporting clay target teams.
-
Granting scholarships to teachers to attend the AWLS camp in Jackson Hole, Wyoming so they can learn about wildlife management and conservation topics.
-
Assisting in granting hunting opportunities to life limited children and disabled veterans.
-
Helping feed the needy through our involvement with Sportsmen Against Hunger.
-
Sponsoring the Blue Bag Program; sending medical, educational supplies, eye glasses, and other items to the needy in remote areas of the world.
I would like to personally thank our members for supporting our chapter and making it possible to support so many programs. I encourage all hunters to join SCI and would also like to extend an invitation to those of you who may not be members, to become an SCI Flint Regional Chapter member.
