2013 Banquet Program - Miami County Ohio Pheasants Forever

Welcome to our 13th Annual
Banquet
Miami County Ohio, Chapter 676
Welcome Phriends !
PF/QF is a national not-for-profit conservation organization dedicated to
Wildlife habitat development and conservation education.
100% of the money raised here tonight (excluding membership fees) benefit the
Miami County chapter. The money is used to fund local habitat projects and
promote conservation education.
Pheasants Forever is the most efficient conservation organization - bar none!
91% of every dollar raised by Pheasants Forever last year, was used to fulfill our mission
of habitat development and conservation education.
No other conservation organization is more efficient!
This is our most important fund raiser and we are glad that you have decided
to support us. This 100% volunteer group will continue to work hard to get
as much habitat on the ground per dollar as we can.
Thanks again for coming and we hope you have a good time.

A few thoughts from The Father of Modern Day Conservation:
“To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering”
“When land does well for its owner, and the owner does well by his or her land; when both
end up better by reason of their partnership, we have conservation. When one or the other
grows poorer, we do not.”
"There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other
that heat comes from the furnace."
“Man cannot live by bread, or Fords, alone. Are we too poor in purse or spirit to apply some of it to keep the land pleasant to see, and good to live in?”
- Aldo Leopold
