Spring/Summer 2000

President's Message

By virtue of your membership in Wildlife Mississippi, you have made a strong commitment toward the future of fish and wildlife conservation in Mississippi. While this is an important first step, your involvement and input does not end there.

We want to reward you by offering you a job. It's not a permanent job, you understand. It's not even a paying job. We are asking each member to enroll another member in Wildlife Mississippi. If everyone signs up another member, we will double our membership, from 1,000 to 2,000.

With additional members, the Foundation will enhance programs that will develop more habitat for fish and wildlife, educate more kids about the importance of conservation and improve access to those resources we all enjoy.

You'll witness this commitment each time you see, read or listen to another story about the conservation efforts of Wildlife Mississippi. Our success lies in the strength of the Foundation's story and the people who have helped create it -- members like you -- so reach out and let's gain a friend -- a friend for wildlife.

Remember, home-based conservation organizations like the Mississippi Fish and Wildlife Foundation are doing the most effective job for conservation -- thanks to you.

President
