Dear Fellow Waterfowl Enthusiast,

Challenges to wildlife today (especially migratory waterfowl) include the devotion of more and more of America's farmland to corn in an effort to decrease foreign oil dependence, bugetary constraints in Washington limiting that devoted to conservation, and the constant encroachment on rural land for suburban development. What can we do? Here is a suggestion. Please mark you calendars to join me and your fellow conservationist for the

                                     Ducks Unlimited Sponsor Dinner
