As President of Plymouth County Pheasants Forever, I would like to thank our sponsors, members, youth members, board members, and everyone else who participated in our very successful 25th Anniversary Banquet. It was a great culmination to all of our events and activities in 2009.

Our intention for the future is to stay on task with our long term goals of increasing habitat in Plymouth County.  In the past we have been spending $40,000 on new habitat, trees, shelterbelts, riparian buffer strips, filter strips and many more NRCS programs that are beneficial to Pheasants and all wildlife. At our April meeting, the board voted to continue these programs but to decrease the money spent to $30,000. It has been a long time dream of the board members to purchase a piece of property for Plymouth County Pheasants Forever. Therefore, starting May 1, 2010, we put $10,000 in a savings account that will earn interest.  We will continue to do this every year in hopes that someday we will find the perfect piece of ground.

Our goal is to not lose sight of all the activities that we have done through the years, such as youth events, golf tournaments and any other event that has kept our chapter thriving.  We will continue to do all these things in hopes that we will become one of the best chapters in the nation.  We have already impacted Plymouth County with many opportunities to insure that our habitat and the education of our youth is top priority.  Obviously, government rules and regulations will not make this easy.  That is why we need your continued support. Through donations and participation in adult and youth activities we will conserve habitat and wildlife in Plymouth County.

In closing, I hope to see you in the coming year supporting Plymouth County Pheasants Forever in one way or the other.  I would like to thank you in advance for whatever you do or have done to help impact our area with your time, talent or treasure.  It is with great pride that I take over the Presidency and assure you that I will go my best to make Plymouth County a great place for our youth to grow up in.

Sincerely,
Bob Puetz, President
