ANNOUNCEMENTS:
SEEKING BOARD MEMBERS: Board Elections will be held in October 2021 but we are still in need of someone to fill at least one seat and we are looking to appoint a board member for a year until elections in 2022. The only requirements are that board members must be voting age residents of Emmet County. We can do remote Zoom meetings if needed. If you are interested please contact us. Thank you!
2021-2022 BUDGET MEETING: The ECD will hold its annual budget meeting on Tue. Sept. 14th at the MSU-Ext. meeting room in the lower level of the Watson Community Building at 9:30am.

2021 ANNUAL MEETING & Elections: Our 2021 Annual Meeting will be held on Tue. Oct. 19 from 5-9pm at Gabriel Farms! Join us for a fun evening with food and a presentation from Mike Wolf and Zach Ward from the Tip of the Mitt QDMA Branch on the the "Field to Fork" Program, which is aimed at getting non-hunters into hunting by providing a mentorship program. Its geared towards anyone who wants to learn how to hunt but might not know how to start, and partners them up with an experienced hunter that can teach them important information. If weather permits, we will start the fun out with an outdoor archery practice, followed by dinner (pizza and hot dogs) and our featured presentation. We will wrap up the evening with Board Elections and nominations, and a short business meeting. Cost is $5/person - please register in advance if you are planning on joining us for dinner and let us know if you have any food allergies.
