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!!

Kent Ballard has also invited anyone who is interested to stay for the dinner as well. I believe it will start between 4 and 6.

IMPORTANT: I need people to commit to come. We are representing the FW Club and the Department, so it will look really bad if people bail at the last minute..

Conclave Information:

This year's annual Midwest Wildlife Society Student Conclave is a weekend of epic proportions! Join a us and a bunch of other school's Wildlife Society's in our region for a mini-conference filled with guest speakers, workshops and a whole lot of fun! This is a great way to meet wildlife students from other areas and network! You'll see many of these faces at similar events throughout your careers! Ask anyone and they'll tell you that this is definitely worth going to!

Description:

"The Purdue Student Chapter of The Wildlife Society will be hosting the 2010 Midwest Student Conclave, March 26th-28th, 2010.

The topic of the weekend will be "Managing in the Matrix: Wildlife Management on a Changing Landscape." Modern pressures for increased agricultural production, more space to house a growing population, and an overall disconnect between an increasingly urban population and our natural resources necessitate that today's wildlife biologists be able to conserve our wildlife resources in a highly fragmented environment.

These environments are becoming more common throughout the Midwest and with that growth, human-wildlife interactions are increasing exponentially. It is today's wildlife professional who is charged with the task to conserve our valuable natural resources and optimize human interactions with wildlife.

This year's conclave will focus on this broad topic and equip Midwestern students with additional tools to Manage in the Matrix."
