We're trying to listen harder to you. As a small organization in comparison to the larger national duck groups, our smaller size demands that we be as responsive as our resources allow. Read on to learn how we're doing just that to provide our membership with the greatest possible impact from your support. | |
Plus, you won't want to miss your chance to win the EAA Camo Girsan MC312 auto 3.5″ 12ga shotgun AND Sports Afield 30+4 Gun safe that our Green Bay chapter is raffling off on the 16th at their 22nd Annual banquet. And check out the rest of our class A raffles here.
I hope you enjoy our March edition...
