SCI BADGERLAND CHAPTER PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
From the President’s Cluttered Desk:
– By David J. Ekkebus, SCI Badgerland President
Well it’s been a hectic few weeks around here and I’m just now racing to catch up. Our chapter web honcho has also been swamped so I’ve managed to escape his wrath, well at least until now.
We wrapped up the banquet, dove into the 2010 Membership Drive, got the new 2010 flyer printed, jumped through all the hoops of my wife’s back surgery, snuck off for 3 days of slogging through cedar swamps with 4 other SCI guys on a hunt that was a blast. I also popped in on the guys working the Sensory Safari Trailer at the Deer and Turkey Expo this past weekend in Madison. In late March Alan Heth, Paul Baker, Leon Procknow also worked the membership booth and the SST at the Big Buck Classic in the Dells that took place while yours truly was getting down and muddy chasing back straps and bacon.
Collectively the efforts of our volunteer teams have booked over 30 new members for our Chapter! WAY TO GO GUYS! That means we already have two convention registration packages for auction at Dining Around The World in August. And we’re well on the way to securing a SCI Life Membership for one of the auctions too. That’s over $2000 in auction item value from SCI just for signing up new members to SCI.
See the 2010 – 2011 Membership Drive and see how you can win guns or a great hunt in Buffalo County with Butch Fox.
Our April membership meeting is at Fitzgerald’s in Middleton on April 21st. This meeting is our Chapter Director Elections and Annual Membership meeting and report on the over-view of our chapter. Don’t miss it. If there is any time available we might also get a short hunting program in as well.
Anyone with a little time to devote to SCI should call me (608-296-3051) or Alan Heth (262-903-9897) or Dan Jackson (608-225-8567) and let us know you might consider helping to steer the chapter into the future.
One of our senior members, Leon Procknow, just returned from a hunt in Mexico where he completed the fourth leg of his Grand Slam of North American Sheep. What a great hunting accomplishment! Congratulations to Leon for completing his quest!
