Season's Greetings from CWA
A Message from John Carlson, Jr., President

Happy Holidays! What an exciting year it's been. As my second year with the California Waterfowl family comes to a close, I would like to thank you for all of your support for our shared passion of waterfowl, wetlands, and hunting heritage. With your help, 2011 has been a year filled with accomplishments and exciting changes!

 

If you are looking for a last minute holiday gift, consider a California Waterfowl membership by clicking here. You can also make an online donation on someone's behalf here.

 

Perhaps you've seen our Year-end Mailer arrive in your mailbox. If you are considering a last minute tax-deductible donation for 2011, be sure to mail it in today. Give the gift of conservation on behalf of someone special.

 

I look forward to seeing you in the field, at events, and all around the state in 2012. Thank you for your continued support!

John Carlson, Jr.

CWA Partners with UbokiaEnter to Win a Hunt of a Lifetime
Join CWA's Ubokia Network and be Entered to Win a Chance at Two Great Hunts

UbokiaCWA has teamed up with Ubokia.com to create an amazing new way for you to buy, sell, and trade with other CWA members online. By joining CWA's Ubokia Network, you will be entered to win 1 of 2 awesome hunts and Ubokia will donate $2 on your behalf to directly help preserve our wetlands!

 

Ubokia reverses the way that people buy by allowing you to post something you want to buy (from trucks and gear to electronics and vacations) and then sellers respond to you and make offers - basically the reverse of Craigslist or eBay. On top of this amazing new way to buy and sell, Ubokia is a company founded by hunters who are passionate about waterfowl and are using this as a way to help save wetlands. So join today and help CWA preserve wetlands in California!
