Another Season, Another Reason for the IKES 95 years.
Our local chapter of the Izaak Walton League is 95 years old! As a strong environmental group, we have made countless contributions to benefit our community. We plan on making many more.
In order to thrive, we rely on our membership. Not only do we need a membership base, we need members to become active. This includes attending meetings and serving on our board of directors. This requires a minimal time involvement to help make important decisions. I want to extend a BIG thank you to board members who are retiring. Both our treasurer Ken Kanczuzewski, and membership director Bob Fitzpatrick have announced their retirement. Both have over 25 years of dedicated service to the IKES. They were instrumental in all our major lodge remodeling and building projects. Their contributions are unparalleled and their presence will be sorely missed. Also, Kaine Kanczuzewski, programs director plans to finish his term ending this year.
Why did you join the IKES? This question and more will be asked of you in a survey that will be mailed to you soon. We would like to start an event weekend each month where we will have a special event and/or work project to participate in.
