President's Message

Welcome friends, and wow! Time has flown by, I can hardly believe that a full year has come and gone since our “First Annual Dinner”. What a year it has been. Using funds generated from our first event we have been able to achieve many of our goals, and further contribute to our Mission. One of the many areas we have been able to contribute to include fulfilling our dream of a Mobile Wildlife Education Center “Sensory Safari Unit”. We have also contributed monies to National Safari Club International, for the fight for your Hunting rights, and we have sponsored a “Safari Wish” for a young hunter, sending him and his father to Texas for a once in a lifetime whitetail hunt. And yes, once again along with the phenomenal help from SB Member and Director Chuck Wyllie, we have helped to sponsor our now locally famous Junior Pheasant hunt.

Our Second Annual Dinner is right around the corner, scheduled for July 19,2008. Our event this year will be held in Yuba City, at the Veterans Memorial Hall. This year will be special with guest speaker George Stratman, Director of The Shady Creek Outdoor School, formerly known as the Woodleaf Outdoor School. Mr. Stratman was sponsored this year by our chapter to attend the American Wildlife Leadership School in Jackson Hole Wyoming, and is excited to share his thoughts on the program and his adventure with all of us. Once again, we have five great awards to present to our chosen members for their achievements through the year in Wildlife Conservation, North American and African Hunting Achievements, and Chapter Member of The Year. This year’s awards for the first time include a special “Presidents Award.” It will be presented by myself to an individual that has shown a never ending drive to protect our Rights as hunters, while at the same time supporting the many Wildlife Conservation programs necessary to protect Wildlife and our Hunting Heritage.

In closing, may I thank each of you for your support of our chapter through 2007, and ask for your continued support through 2008.

Safari Club International is the leader in protecting the freedom to hunt and in promoting wildlife conservation worldwide.

Providing value to members by shaping policies and legislation that protect the freedom to hunt locally, nationally and internationally.

Keeping members informed regarding issues that impact hunting while educating and entertaining members with engaging articles about the rich heritage of hunting in all forms of media.

Providing a community for hunters worldwide where camaraderie is enjoyed and expert information is exchanged, and where members are able to participate in a market for quality hunting goods and services.

Recognizing my responsibilities to wildlife, habitat and future generations, I pledge:

	To conduct myself in the field so as to make a positive contribution to wildlife and ecosystems.
	To improve my skills as a woodsman and marksman to ensure humane harvesting of wildlife.
	To comply with all game laws, in the spirit of Fair Chase, and to influence companions accordingly.
	To accept my responsibility to provide all possible assistance to game law enforcement officers.
	To waste no opportunity to teach young people the full meaning of this code of ethics.
	To reflect in word and behavior only credit upon the fraternity of sportsmen, and to demonstrate abiding respect for game, habitat and property where I am privileged to hunt.
