As Will previously stated in his post, Focus on Forever starts tomorrow. It is going to be an exciting weekend. There will be several NYLC members here participating as well as helping with workshops. Does anybody know anyone who is coming to FOF? If so be sure to ask them about it when they get back.
Sixteen of the 17 members of the NYLC gathered in southern Illinois near Carbondale the weekend of July 25-27 to hold their summer meeting. The group camped in tents and participated in outdoor education activities led by Curt Carter, director of the Land for Learning Institute. Although it was hot and humid, the group kept cool swimming, canoeing and kayaking. They also helped cook some fantastic campfire meals, made presentations on their individual projects, selected candidates to be elected as officers, learned about historic primitive tools, participated in a session on how to conduct meetings using parliamentary procedure, got better acquainted with raccoon circles and other activities and enjoyed fishing and visiting. Photos of their activities are included.
National Youth Leadership Council at the Summer Meeting in Southern Illinois
Hey fellow ringneck and whistler members. Hope you all are having a good summer. While you all are doing summer activities the Pheasants Forever/Quail Forever National Youth Leadership Council is holding its summer meeting June 25-27, 2010 in Jonesboro, Illinois. Check in later this weekend to see updates from our meeting and all the activites we are participating in.
Hey guys. Hope all you Ringneck and Whistler members had a good weekend. This past week the PF/QF staff got together for 4 days for a team meeting, so we can continue to be the best team ever. While we were at the meeting we decided a good way for you to learn about our activities, look at pictures and chat with other members was to add a fan page to facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Upland-Tales/101680968938) and to start a twitter page (www.twitter.com/uplandtales). It would be great if you guys could check out the page and add some comments, photos and anything that deals with the outdoors.
Thanks. If you have any questions feel free to email me at abrentzel@pheasantsforever.org
Do your part in making this a great Memorial Day!
Hey guys I have a favor to ask of each and everyone of you. Memorial Day Weekend is coming up and fast. I know many of you are going to be going to lakes, to go camping, fishing, boating, and all that other fun stuff under the sun. So here is what I ask. When you are out and about, pick up the trash around, even if it isn’t yours. When your hiking and you see a pop bottle pick it up. Do your part to make the parks you are at beautiful for everyone else!!! Thank you so much!!
Have a fun and safe weekend. If you catch a monster fish, or find something cool send me a picture of it and I will post it on the site for everyone to see!!! Send your pictures to abrentzel@pheasantsforever.org.
