Wood Duck Box Cleaning at Rose Lake

Hello All! The DNR has contacted our club with an opportunity to clean out wood duck boxes at their Rose Lake station. Initially, it was planned to have a work day this upcoming Saturday 1/21. Due to thin ice at the lake, the event has been postponed with an alternate date of Saturday 1/28. With the erratic weather we've had, this too will depend on ice conditions. Phil at Rose Lake will notify the club by next Thursday as to whether we will move forward with the cleaning on 1/28. Please keep your ears open for announcements. If you have signed up to participate, you will be notified via text or e-mail as updates become available.

Pheasants Forever Fundraising Opportunity

Pheasants Forever of Lansing has invited our club to volunteer at an upcoming event. On March 2nd, the PF Chapter in Lansing will be hosting a dinner event for which they need volunteers to assist with set-up. This would include moving tables, putting up signs, etc. This event requires 12-15 people and would earn the club $250!!! This is a huge opportunity for the club to make money, and a great chance for you to get involved with one of the largest Pheasants Forever chapters in the country! Here are the details, please sign up at a weekly meeting, or email msufwclub@gmail.com if interested.

Date: March 2nd
Time: 8:00am-2:00pm
Location: Eagle Eye Golf Course, Lansing, MI
Lunch is provided

Additionally, volunteers would be invited to stay for the dinner event...a great opportunity to connect with professionals! Note: This is the Friday before Spring Break, however keep in mind that this both helps the club with funding for activities like Camping Trips and Conclave, and also helps you with applications for attending conferences. We hope you can participate!!
