The past several weeks have been a whirlwind of cold weather, expo preparation, banquet celebrations, helping teach hunter’s education, and researching our upcoming hunts. Such a busy season where there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day, yet you blink and the time has passed.
Each year since I first started volunteering with expo and the SCI banquet, I am in awe over how much work it takes to put on an event and completely humbled by the support and money raised for an amazing cause. Thank you to each person who became an SCI member (renewed their membership or are continuing to live their life membership) and to those who came to EXPO supporting a big hunting and fishing show. To the donors and outfitters thanks for all your time and generous donations. Thank you to all the attendees of our banquet and the other SCI banquets, your support helps us bigger and better the hunting community as a whole through various efforts and grants we are able to provide with money raised at our banquet and through our auction. We appreciate YOU! And special thank you to ALL of our volunteers- your countless hours (often behind the scenes), time at the banquet that you are hustling so others can enjoy a relaxing, fun evening, and ideas that make our banquet bigger and better each year do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. They say it takes a village and it does- to raise a child and to provide future generations with the same hunting rights and privileges we have, if not more!! It won’t be done unless we all continue to work together. THANK YOU!!
This time of year is also the time when we start thinking about and finalizing details for our next hunting adventures. I pray that whatever hunting opportunities you are going for – that they will contain happy memories, a meaningful adventure, and stories to last a lifetime. !
