Whats in store for 2014? The following items are planned for this year.
Meeting:
Our annual meeting is free and open to the public. This year it will be at the Wilda Marston Theatre at the Loussac Library, on Tuesday, April 22rd at 6:30 pm. Our illustrated presentation will be by ADF&G’s manager Tom Griffin & staffer Drew Hamilton of the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary and Refuge. It will be a great evening of bears and life at McNeil River. Following the presentation we will have a brief discussion between FOMR staff and the public regarding some problems that have come up that threaten the McNeil as we know it, along with next years closure of the Round Island Sanctuary due to budget cuts. Please join us!!!
